He was an amazing ambassador for the Bengals and the city. He wanted to, and would have resigned and stayed if given the choice. He had to sign with a new team and is now being a great teammate and saying positive things there about that team and that city. That's what he should be doing. 100%. He didn't bash anyone or anything in Cincy or at PBS then or now. What he said is 100% true.
I find it odd that people are upset at Peko, a model citizen and player, to the point where they take something normal and reasonable he said THAT IS TRUE and we now have a thread crapping on him that's 6 pages long!
As a person and member of the local community this guy was the anti-Adam Jones and people are still crapping on him. He's not a prisoner nor is he property of the city of Cincinnati.
Frankly, I don't care about what Carson said, either. What Carson did was to publicly shame and embarrass the Bengals... RIGHTFULLY SO... and that finally resulted in fantastic organizational changes. Carson should be hoisted on our shoulders as a martyr, not crapped on. He quit because THAT was the only way to change his AND the Bengals situation. Everybody won. Good for Carson and good for Peko and good for Whitworth. Those guys were model Bengals and model people while they were in Cincy for a short period of their lives.
You guys want Pacman to be a great guy and crap on him when he isn't, and then you crap on great guys when they leave even when they didn't do anything wrong afterwards. Why the hell should anyone do anything for the fans if that's their attitude? You guys aren't loyal, either!
so you're telling me that Peko saying the culture in the Bengals locker is solely focused on winning a (single) playoff game? BS. total BS. It's sour grapes is what it is.
