True. And that's kind of the crux of the argument. He says that change was needed and some guys were needed. I don't know about the change, but they got some guys. 

They basically ended up doing what he wanted them to do. I'm a little fuzzy on it now--the timing of the Chad trade--but the wonder will always be there as to what if he stayed and Chad stayed and they did everything they did, minus draft Dalton. 

Whether a person is on Carson's side or not, the Bengals fielded a competitive, 5-time playoff team from '11-'15. I'm not defending one side or the other, just more wondering what Carson thought about those years right after he left and if he wonders what he could have done here. I honestly doubt that he does because of the way he talked about the FO. Maybe he would have always wanted more?
