We had the talent to "win" several times over the last 16 years and Marv teams went 8-28 against the Steelers, were just as bad in Prime-Time and 0-7 in the playoffs. Sub .500 vs the AFC conference. 


Those things indicate a coaching issue. Regardless of scouting department size (which should've been upgraded long ago), Tobin busted his you know what to get great talent in Cincy. We had a couple groups of players that many teams would be envious of over the last 16 years, and we did nothing with them, even when those teams were rolling on full steam through the regular season. 

THIS was the line I read every page of the thread to see.

After his trade request (and regularly since) the masses here in Bengaldom have stated that Marvin being re-signed is the reason Carson wanted out, even referencing the fact that Carson gave a "no comment" to Marvin's re-signing.

But in this interview/statement, he specifically mentioned how much he loves Marvin and has seen him many times since his trade, however has not had a chance to talk to him since Black Monday.  It sounds to me like this statement said once and for all he was comfortable continuing under ML, but it was rather the FO continuing to allow players and leaders like Willie and TJ to walk away and replacing them with lesser talent.

Remember Carson stating that he wasn't going to talk about the divorce unless the time was right?  I think he now feels the time is right.
