Call it naivety, call it being hopeful, call it delusional thinking that Mike Brown knew how/would do what it takes to build a perennial super bowl franchise, call it whatever you want. But there is no way Carson would have signed that extension if he truly knew what a selfish, cheap prick Mike Brown is.
Back then we all thought the franchise had turned a corner and that there were inevitable great times ahead. Well, we were obviously wrong. And so was Carson. After that Press Conference I nearly threw in the towel on that nitwits franchise (but I have a sickness: I love this team too much). Carson left after years of essentially being lied to (yes, I still consider empty promises from a moronic owner lies). You can't really say Carson should have known better when the team did nothing but improve his first three years with the Bengals.
How could he not tho? Why would he even bring it up when talking about an extension?
