I'm not sure what transpired, but he thought it was racial, and maybe it was. But he came back to Cincy demanding Mike Brown put out statements, etc, and to me never really focused on football. There was a lot going on at that time across the country, and I think he took a lot of it personal and lost football focus. I don't say that as a knock on him, he just never seemed to be the same guy after that to me. Arguing with coaches, posting depth charts on instagram, etc. All that stuff was out of character for him.
I think some fans let politics shape their thought process too much.
It is silly to point to that incident at the park as having anything to do with his level of play. It was obviously all about his relationship with the coaching staff. If his head had been messed up over that offseason incident why would it 100% disappear as soon as he went to Seattle? That makes no sense at all.
A lot of fans turned on Carlos because of his cultural stance and then decided he sucked at football.
