My favorite moment with Carson, I have so many. 2nd is the entire lead up to him coming back after the knee injury.
- The SI interview where he came out and said he hated the Steelers
- Coming back in the preseason in his first game after rehab to throw 3 TDs against the 1st team Packers D. - To those who said he wasn't the same after his knee injury... you're idiots. He was fine, no issues from the knee whatsoever in 2006 or 2007 and has been ever since - watching him play and the stats say so.
But #1 was when he told Mike Brown that he didn't own him and that he couldn't be bought. When he publicly shamed Mike Brown and Marvin with his refusing to come back after Mr. Mediocre (MARVIN) was re-signed, thus forcing Mike Brown to change some things. Carson knew then what we all know now. This is America, land of the free. If Carson wanted to force his way out so he didn't have to play for what he thought was a dead end coach.... GOOD!
That endeared Carson to me forever. He forced change in the organization and he was RIGHT in doing so. He worked his way into a position where he couldn't be bought and then had the integrity to say he wasn't going to play for a loser. He didn't quit on me as a fan. He quit on Marvin and Mike as losers. It was epic and appropriate. LOVED that.
