I’ve spent plenty of time defending him and it worked out best for both parties, but his recent campaign of trying to poison our next first round pick 10 years after he left is frustrating and sad on his part.
First off, as fans of this team we have it bad enough. We don’t need our former players actively trying to keep/send us back to the 90’s by preventing the few good players we may be able to get from wanting to come here. Anybody with a brain already knows the bengals are bad and run poorly, they don’t need you running a bigger campaign blitz than any of the presidential candidates this year to remind them.
2nd off, he got what he wanted. He got out and moved on and it’s been 10 years man. Move on buddy. Let’s be honest, he had a team capable of winning a super bowl in 2005. He got hurt and it’s not his fault or Mike’s. He was never the same after that. He had some interception filled years there and they weren’t all the fault of the team or FO. He went on to AZ and managed to win one more playoff game then the Mike Brown managed bengals ever have. Take that moral victory and live your life. You can say all you want how great the Cardinals are but even with the “amazing” team and effort their FO made you managed to win a massive one playoff games.
No need to be worried that Burrow may be the one QB capable of doing what you couldn’t.
Not to sound like a certain devils advocate poster here, but what exactly did Carson say that implied he wanted to “poison” our next first round pick? I’m honestly curious, because I saw the recent quotes where he said he didn’t feel that ownership was serious about winning a super bowl (they weren’t/aren’t). As far as I can tell, he’s only answered questions honestly.

He signed that extension on or around his 26th birthday (late December 2005). That was arguably the best time to be a fan of the franchise this millennium. They had just clinched the division, booked their ticket to the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, and seemed to be on pace to building a potential dynasty. Why the hell wouldn’t he have signed an extension? Mike and the Brown family seemed to have finally turned the corner towards becoming a competent front office. Carson couldn’t have seen the return to their incompetent ways any better than we could have back then
