Marvin reneged on his threats and Carson didn't and that is what turned it from Marvin and Carson vs. Mike Brown to Carson vs. Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis. Marvin Lewis' loyalty to the Bengals only extends as far as his own interests, so Carson was in a situation where he faced playing for the same owner who denied his suggestions for change, but also playing for the HC who sold him out on their little alliance.
I'm not saying Carson is a martyr, but I don't blame him for wanting to walk away from those two, especially after what happened. The 2010 Bengals needed a big ol' divorce, anyways. Good for the three rich jerks involved. When it comes down to it, if Andy Dalton is the first franchise QB to leave on good terms during the Mike Brown era, he'll be the first.
IMO it was the best thing to happen. Same as i feel about Marvin now. I wanted Palmer gone after that loss to the Jets in 2009 in the Playoffs. I would've welcomed Marvin's dismissal and Hue's hiring. That didn't happen this time unfortunately, it's a shame. Palmer might make the superbowl, but i'll bet Belichick will crush him.
