Which happens first, a Bengals Super Bowl win, or another Bengal player in the HOF?

[Karp]

Are there any Bengal players even on the Pro Football HOF radar at this point?

[Going_Green]

Hof

[bengals85]

Now that's a good question. If I had to give an answer it would be the hall of fame. The man will be Ken Anderson or Corey Dillon. I must add though that Cirey Dillon if elected would choose to go in as a Patriot.

Kenny gets snubbed every year. Isn't there some sort of limit as to how many times you can be on the ballot?

[Abspara]

Is this a trick question?

I'll go with HOF

[Jwmann2]

Will the Bengals ever go to the Super Bowl? I'll answer that question with another question... How much longer til Mike Brown croaks?

We've had one Bengals HOFer and one HOFer who just passed through...we'll take what we can get.

[Nebuchadnezzar]

It will be a Super Bowl win then a couple of the players from that team will get into the Hall of Fame.

Anderson should be in the Hall of Fame and if he would have won the Super Bowl he would be.

Slam dunk for HOF first.

Even Mikey can pick a great player once in a while. But to assemble a whole team around that player, and hire coaches who can beat good teams fairly regularly? No way Mikey pulls that off EVER.

Not that I'm saying Mikey can will have a player in the HOF... mostly because anyone that good will draw enough interest in Free Agency that Mikey will let him go--because Mikey's TOO CHEAP to keep'em. (Note that Munoz served in an era when he couldn't leave.)

First thing Mikey did as owner is let the Superbowl 23 coach go. And the second thing was let the SB team fall completely apart. Boomer could have been a contender for HOF if Mikey had (1) kept the coach, (2) kept the O-Line together, and (3) kept Boomer.

Mikey's gotta be the WORST personnel selector in ownership history. He let go Wyche, then passed on Cowher, and then passed on Coughlin. Yikes.

[Nately120]

As long as Mike Brown runs this team I'm going to say Dalton has a respectable, but not HOF career, and AJ Green goes into the HOF as a Colt or Texan or something.

[Stink Noodle]

AJ will the next HOF'er, and he will make it as a Bengal. MB likes his WRs.

Hopefully, he will win a SB before that, so I'll go with SB win before HOF.

[jdmac4]

I am going to go with a Superbowl. We have a good young roster and our drought can only go so long, statistically speaking. Law of averages says we are going to win one sooner or later, plus I do not see many Hall of Famers on the horizon (even though Anderson should have been in a while ago).

Passed on Bill Walsh also and we saw how that worked out for us

I could honestly see AJ go to the Falcons and play with Julio if he ever wanted to get out of here for good.

that makes me think. How long can we go without a Super Bowl better players(AJ Green,Gresham,etc) decide to go somewhere else. Even if we keep going to the playoffs year after year will they eventually get tired of waiting? I fear for the most part its not "If " but "How long?"

[D's Nuts and Bolts]

Option C: Aliens invade.

I'll take C.

JK.

How about another question.

A Bengal wins league MVP or The Bengals win 2 playoff games.

AJ's not going anywhere. He has nothing to do with all the years of losing. He said it the other night. I just don't think his years here will be filled with anything but the playoffs. Add just a few more pieces to this group while keeping its core players in place (which I believe will happen), and these boys have a very good shot at winning the big one. And he WILL get paid. Therefore, he'd have no reason to leave. And there's no question he has HoF talent.

I believe the SB win comes first and Geno and AJ in the Hall comes later.

It absolutely was. The speculation was that he knew how good Bill was and there was only enough room for one legend 'round these parts.

Football players don't go in "on a team".
