Being very average to below average professionally isn't going to command ultimate respect from many. They might all respect him that way on a personal level as I have no clue how they feel but I do know human nature and professional arena's and his resume would garner more chuckles than glowing respect.
What happens on the football field is very point-in-time. Financially successful franchise are long-term investements.

Carl is EXTREMELY popular with NFL execs and professionals because he embodies what the sport is all about - MONEY.
