When you think of the Bengals' drafting of quarterbacks, it's really pretty good. Think in terms of these names in a forty year timespan: Cook, who was a towering talent, cut short by injury; Anderson, a Super Bowl quarterback who should be in the Hall of Fame; Esiason, a Super Bowl quarterback, and quality leader; Carson Palmer, one of the most talented passers you will ever see, and who might have led us to the Super Bowl but for the injury in 2005; Andy Dalton, still developing, piling up wins and leading us to the playoffs again for the fifth straight year.
Yeah, we've had a few whiffs in there, like Jack Thompson, Klingler, Akili Smith, but when I think of some of the other franchises, and their struggles at finding THE MAN at quarterback, I think we've made some good choices.
Hopefully we're winding up to take to another level this year.
