If you could add any former Bengal whose career was ruined by injury...

2. Ki'Jana Carter - I believe if Carter was never injured, the Bengals would have been a much different team in the 90's and Mike Brown would have gone in a different direction bringing multiple Super Bowls again.

3. Carson Palmer - I believe if Palmer was never injured in that playoff game, they Bengals would have won the Super Bowl that year and things would have been different once again with multiple Super Bowl wins.

What am I saying? 

I'm saying that if the Bengals weren't jinxed, us fans would be enjoying multiple Super Bowl wins by now, at least six with who knows how many Super Bowl appearances, how many AFC Championships, how many playoff wins, Division Titles, Hall of Famers, Pro Bowls. It just really sucks know that the Bengals are jinxed...snakebit. 

Yup, and that is only part of why I picked Ki'Jana Carter. 

If Carter reaches even half his potential, the Bengals aren't terrified to trade up in the first round.


If he reaches his full potential, the 90's wouldn't have been the 90's. At that time the league was still focused on a good running game setting up the pass and defense. Carter had that Bo Jackson like rare combination of what he could have been. The guy was just in a class all of his own and it would have been so amazing to see what he could have done had he been healthy.
