1) Brat. Marvin re-signs and no changes are made for at least 3 weeks. Then Carson asks for a trade or threatens to retire and Brat is fired within the week.
2. Medical Staff. It was reported by the Carson insider Carson openly had a riff with the medical staff. He was tired of 1) all the misdiagnoses and 2) the coverup after those misdiagnoses, they would never tell the truth. Some 3.5 weeks after Carson threatens to retire if not traded, the medical staff has been replaced.
3. Chad. It was clear that Marvin had grown tired of Chad for what seemed to be years earlier. And also recall Marvin and Brown had been negotiating on a new contract for at least a year before he actually signed. Despite that, at some point Brown still picked up Chad's option well before he had to. That said, it was also clear that Carson also become tired of Chad. And then Brown decides to trade him despite having picked up his option and him being under contract, and this right around the time he meets Carson after the lockout ends. This could very well have been partially or fully Marvin, but the sequence of events points to it more likely having been another desperate measure to get Carson to change his mind.
4. Bubble. It was reported by the Carson insider that Carson at some point offered to return some of his signing bonus or offered some similar deal of the like for Brown to build a bubble. However, to be fair, Marvin has been asking for one for years and was one of his big sticking points to re-signing. At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if Marvin came running back with his tail between his legs with the typical Brown promise that he'll get one at some point. I could see one argue this either way, but I wouldn't dismiss for a second this has Carson's name at least partially on it.
Of course you're a homer and despise Carson, so I wouldn't expect any objectivity out of you.
1) There was no way in F Bratkowski made it out of last season alive regardless of what Carson wanted. If Carson had said, i would come back for a discount and extend my contract if you rehire Bratkowski...Brat was as good as dead. He was never making it past this season no matter what anyone said, because the fans were calling for his boring ass playing butt since midseason and it was getting scary.
2) I wouldn't know about the medical staff, but as Grad said, Palmer didn't even use the teams medical staff to do any of his work, so what the F would Palmer care?
3) There was no way in shit if Brown expected to resign Lewis that Chad was gonna sniff a team event. Chad was simply resigned just to get picks of any value for him, and we found it in NE, just like what was anticipated.
4) The bubble has been reported and reported and reported as Marvin Lewis issue and the travel associated with playing in the indoor facility further up north on crap days. If Palmer was willing to give back a portion of his signing bonus, then why teh F didn't he just have the freaking thing built and Brown slowly pay him back over time? I know that is not Palmer's responsibility, but if it was he who wanted it that bad, and he was willing to sink millions back into the organization for a damn bubble, then he should have done something about it.
You are calling me a f'n homer, yet you defend Palmer tooth and nail no matter the issue. You are a disgusting Palmer homer and you know it. So back off my jock and look in the mirror you Freaking homer.
