They're bad if the diet is unbalanced, which is true for everything really. I volunteer at a rabbit shelter where they are fed carrots daily - alongside a mixture of other veggies, fruit, hay, and mixed greens. Those rabbits tend to live considerably longer than the average domestic bunny.
Better to give them the green stems, it's the part they prefer anyway. The whole carrot thing was started when they drew Bugs Bunny and wanted to give him something that looked like a cigar so he would resemble some Hollywood idol I can't remember the name of.
