Mike Brown was exactly the same when Carson signed his huge contract extension to stay with the Bengals. I don't know exactly what came up to change things, but Palmer had no problem signing that extension when he knew exactly how Mike ran the show.
Well the Bengals did nothing but improve during Carson’s first three years with the team. Anyone and everyone agreed they were a team on the rise from 2003-2005. Carson signed that extension in December of 2005, the peak of Bengal excitement during Marvin’s tenure (IMO, anyway).
Then you had all the arrests in 2006, injuries, chuck bresnahan’s defense, poor draft picks... everything cam crashing down. Carson thought running the team like a real nfl franchise would rectify things, Mike disagreed.
