Few comments
--Bengals in the mid '09's were a .500 team. A healthy Ki-Jana Carter could have pushed them into the playoffs
--'05 Bengals team was not a legit Super Bowl contender. Not enough defense.
--Chris Perry was a lot better RB than many people here want to give him credit for, but he would not have helped the decline of the '05 Bengals. Here is what happened to them. We had one of the best O-lines in the entire league in '05. In '06 Steinbach leaves in free agency, Braham gets injured and retires, and Levi gets an injury that he never fully recovers from. The next year Willie gets injured and never fully recovers. In just two years we went from the best in the league to plugging in scrubs.
