But signed that 100 million dollar contract and then held the team hostage slinging mud and laughing about the money he had in bank because of Cincy.

Then the tell was that the team immediately got better after his departure.  

Was a big fan but just can not respect him, I am sorry.  

Yet am interested to hear what he says.

He signed that contract before the playoff injury in 2005, didn't he?  I can't blame him for thinking things had finally changed when he signed that.  Would any of us have believed that the Bengals, having a young QB who is top 3 in the NFL and the SB winning DC of a division rival at HC would still be without a playoff win 12 years later?

I know I was duped.  


Also, this has never been a Carson vs Dalton thing for me because the way I see it, Mike Brown and Marvin Lewis have had the luxury of having two pretty good QBs for the past 14 years and they've gotten nothing out of it. Meanwhile in the NFL teams are in QB hell and cycling through new guys and re-treads and still finding more success than us on a yearly basis. It's frustrating, and it's enough evidence for me to decide who is really at fault here.
