He was pretty mediocre after the 2006 season, so it's not like it was one season that turned the fan base on him... it took 3+ years of sub-par play to get people to say enough is enough (and yeah, I'll throw 2009 in there, because he was pretty average and stunk out loud in the playoffs). Just like Marvin!
When people think about Carson in stripes, they think about 2005-2006, but for most of his time here he looked like a completely different guy out there. I'm really happy he was finally able to find his game again for a couple of seasons in Arizona, but he'll always go down as a pretty big disappointment in my book.
And while I'm not sure I really want to get into this again... I'll say it - Andy's been a better Bengal.
Carson's 2009 stats weren't good to begin with, but they're even worse when you realize how heavily skewed they were by one game.
vs Bears: 20/24 (83%) - 233 yards (9.71 yards per attempt) - 5 TD's - 0 INT's - 146.7 rating
Rest of season: 262/442 (59.3%) - 2861 yards (6.47 yards per attempt) - 16 TD's - 13 INT's - 78.3 rating
Yeah, the Bears game counted, but having such an excellent game made his overall stats look much better than he actually played. He was bad in 2009. The playoff game was also atrocious. Tbh, Carson only had 2 good seasons for us. 2005 and 2006.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
