And blaming a guy who was easily top 5 at his position the majority of his career for his team not making the playoffs more is ridiculous. We didn’t make the playoffs more because Carson became a turnover machine, and we never had any defense (outside 2009).

Chad was a 2x All Pro and 6x Pro Bowler who put up huge number in the best division in football with the likes of Ray Lewis’ Ravens and the Steelers always having top defenses. He was also crazy durable all things considered.

Hmm..went downhill after HOF season..that was part of my point.  A great contrast of players.. Two great players for the Bengals Chad and AJ.. success got to Chad.. team became less as I become more..  i have seen the opposite in AJ..  Also Great Team Players are judged by getting to playoffs and winning.... I think we look past his negatives because of his not only his positives but theatrics also...
Finally if Chad is so loyal Bengals.. why now ?? why in the News so much more ??? what about when we were making the 5 year run to playoffs ???  I circle back around to more about ME than about TEAM.. sorry i hijacked this post.. i will go into the shadow now...
