Carson is actually in a place now, and was in 2013 and 2014 where the general consensus was that his team can make a legit Super Bowl push IF he stays on the field, so it's not like he's battling Geno Smith or EJ Manuel for a temporary starting gig and grasping at paychecks while he runs out the clock on his career.
If anything I'd say the fact that the Bengals couldn't be post-season relevant with Dalton and Palmer, two QBs that would generate a decent amount of interest with a number of teams for the past 11 years is more of a knock on Mike and Marvin than anything else.
Carson didn't leave the Bengals for the Cardinals. He left for the Raiders. He was traded by the Raiders to the Cardinals. His replacement has started 4 straight playoff games in that stretch. How many has he started?
