Carlos is the owner of his shitty play on the field and baby-like attitude on the sidelines and Twitter. But ZT is in charge of keeping that crap off the sidelines and should've never let Carlos dress. The truth is our pass rush sucks and is totally inept, and it was terrible even when Carlos was the starter. He's very immature though and that has to go.

His blocks have led to a lot of downfield completions. He's probably better than Mixon catching and running with the ball. He does a good job running the ball (and taking care of the ball). I just don't see the hate for such a consistent performer (and team player).

He wants out.

And this type of behavior will not stop other teams from signing him.  He has been around the league a long time without causing any trouble.  He has earned some respect around the league while Zac and Lou are jokes.

He played well today. He's a great back to have in shotgun situations picking up blitzes and getting open in space. 

Hate is an accurate word by the way. That's all I hear is people hating on Gio or the Bengals for overpaying him. Yet, he consistently makes the team better when he's out there.

He’s overpaid. Not entirely his fault, as we can’t run for shit this year no matter who it is, but then maybe we shouldn’t have overpaid 2 RB’s (yes Mixon is also overpaid) if we were just going to throw a million times every game.

Apparently the Bengals have tried to trade him and none of the other NFL teams want a rotten apple like Dunlap that could ruin the rest of their bunch.

This is Carlos Dunlap arguing with a coach at the end of the game. Appears to be defensive line coach Nick Eason. #Bengals @fox19 pic.twitter.com/5E8cXf1jjK
