But the one thing we should remember was how he absolutely carried the team. Sure he can be a jerk. But in the process of becoming our all-time rushing leader, he broke single game records held by Walter Payton and Jim Brown. This guy deserves to be in the Ring.
Second choice is tougher. Leapin' Lemar or Krumrie? I'm going with the NFL all-time leader in tackles by a DT. We would have won Super Bowl 23 if he doesn't shred his leg on that shitty turf.
He left on less than ideal terms. Even so, he took a legit physical beating here and he played at a very high level doing it. That was the kind of offensive predictability that ran Ricky Williams out of the league in Miami. People blame the ganja, but Ricky was spent.
Any running back that's the was the focal point of an offense in the AFC North of that era deserves his just due.
It's time to let bygones be bygones and honor Dillon for what he is; the greatest rb in Bengals history.
