Yes, I most definitely would. Because airing it constantly and right before the Super Bowl makes you look salty and weak. I'd also at least "attempt" to be fair with my criticism. Him saying (essentially) that the current roster is weak and the Bengals haven't spent big is factually incorrect.
We're not talking about what the team was like in 2007, here. If he was, I'd probably agree with him. What he's saying about the Bengals now is complete BS, and even the staunchest Palmer apologists should be able to admit that.
Also, projecting Burrow leaving the organization because they won't spend again complete BS. What happened with him isn't guaranteed to happen with Burrow...and looking at how the FO has behaved over the last 2 years, I'd wager it won't. I guess that's why Carson downplayed our FA activity.
He's crossed the line from truthful criticism to salt laced fabricated scenarios.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
