Perhaps it shoulda been called the Virgil Carter offense.. Carter was the first Cincinnati QB I was actually aware of as a little kid.. Funny how certain names stick in your mind especially as kids. Carter and Essex Johnson stuck in my imagination and to some other degree a bit later it was Isaac Curtis.. It's probably because those were the names I heard on TV most often..
