The biggest tragedy about the Ki-Jana fiasco is that it came at a time when the Bengals were not relly that bad. From '96 through '98 the Bengals won at least 7 games each year and they had a handful of very talented players. The Offense had Jeff Blake, Carl Pickens, Darnay Scott, Tony McGee, Willie Anderson, and Rich Braham. the Defennse had John Copeland, Dan Wilkinson, James Francis, and Ashley Ambrose.
Well I wasn't using Bo as a physical comparison. I was more saying that Ki-Jana could've been mentioned in the same breath as legends like Bo. He was supposed to be that type of player. That's why Mike was so desperate to trade up for him. He was an amazing talent that also happened to be a big need. Perhaps our biggest need.
I agree. With a healthy Ki-Jana, I think the 90's are remembered differently. We probably have a couple playoff runs mixed in there.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
