Best All Time Bengals By Position

[gregcook68]

Here's one for kicks and giggles.  This, according to AI! 

(Active players not considered until they have retired)

QB - Ken Anderson

RB - Corey Dillon

TE - Rodney Holman

OT - Anthony Munoz

OG - Max Montoya

C - Bob Johnson

 

DT - Geno Atkins

DE - Eddie Edwards

LB - Reggie Williams

CB - Ken Riley

S - David Fulcher

Works for me, though I'd swap Riley with Parrish.

[ArmyBengal]

Agree with Stripes

I guess AI has never heard of “wide receiver.”

[Stripes]

I can't blame the robot for skipping that one. It's probably the most difficult choice.

Peak performance relative to peers? Curtis, Johnson, and Chase all have an argument.

Longevity? Curtis and Johnson so far

Best performance relative to the quality of his own team? Pickens

Best performance against division opponents? Green and Chase

Best for getting into the endzone? Curtis, Pickens, Chase, and Higgins

Best for catching the damn ball? Collinsworth, Houshmandzadeh, and Boyd

I think the best player is probably just Chase, but we can still make him earn it. The two best otherwise for my money are already in the Ring of Honor.

[HoosierCat]

Still Curtis for me.

I just missed it when I put the post together.  AI listed Chad Johnson.

As usual AI is hallucinating

AJ Green was the best at catching the ball.  Dude just caught anything and everything thrown his way.

Unfortunately this team has wasted a plethora of amazing WR talent.
