I wish I had the ability to write an ode for Chris Carson. As I am a Chris, I will bully my way through this just like he did NFL defenses. I think one of the best things I could say about Chris is, I think we would have beaten the Cowboys in that playoff game if he were there. No doubt we did run the ball too often and started passing when it was to late. Dallas dared us to run the ball something they would not have done with big number 32 in the backfield.

I am delighted that Carson made it from pick 249, to a good second contract he earned it. It's also great news he will make an extra $2 million through injury designation.

I have never met a Seahawk fan that didn't respect Chris Carson. Those NFC numbers are astounding, great break down Joe.

A few months ago Pete let us know this would probably happen, at the same time he said Carson was one of his all time favorite Seahawks. Here is to Chris hoping you have relatively minor, to no discomfort for your well deserved retirement, from being a warrior in the truest sense of the word.

To the so slothful lazy so called football pundits, to not understand why the Hawks drafted Kenneth Walker lll where they did, you should be ashamed.

Will really miss Carson. If he had high-end speed, would have been a truly great running back. Loved the way he lowered his shoulder and kept his legs moving. Loved how he came to play every week and left it all on the field. Of course, his career is Exhibit A in the case for why running backs typically have short careers. Let's enjoy Penny and Walker while we can.

So glad he signed a post-rookie contract. Hope he knows how to manage his money so he can be set for life. Didn't earn so much that he won't have to be smart about it.

Carson won't make the Ring of Honor and certainly not the Hall of Fame, but he'll live in my heart as a very special Seahawk. I believe I'm not at all unique among fans in that regard.
