He was a beast and I'm not one to use that term a lot.

He was definitely a monster early on. Just never available. I just went and looked and man, he missed a ton of games. I didn't remember it being that bad. He averaged 10 games per season.

Of all the threads to use as my first post haha (been lurking since the bengals.com boards) and shifted over. Ill just say thank you to Bengalholic since I feel thats a must! Also an enormous thank you to all of you that take the time to post!
I will represent the slightly younger crowd but I became a fan during the awesome 2005 season while in grade 8 learning about fantasy football in Canada and these random Bengals I drafted where killing it.
By order (by memory) of falling in love with:
1. Carson Palmer (even though that changed and soured, still the main reason I became a Bengals fan)
2. Chad Johnson Ochocinco
3. TJ Housh
4. Reggie Nelson
5. Geno
6. AJ (my bengals jersey I still rock!)
7. Vontaze Burfict
8. Carlos Dunlap
9. Joe Burr
10. Chase
I should of had Big Whit, but to be honest I only appreciate lineman more as I age and took his quality for granted over the years.
RE: your top 10 favorite bengals ever - wcu - 06-17-2022
David Fulcher
Anthony Munoz
Boomer
Corey Dillon
Rudi Johnson
Chad Johnson
Geno Atkins
Reggie Nelson
AJ Green
Ja'marr Chase
Burrow and Hendrickson will probably replace Green and Nelson in a year or two.

I tried making a list but I kept having "oh ya, that guy" moments. I think my top 10 has 40 people in it.
RE: your top 10 favorite bengals ever - Tony - 06-18-2022
Joe Burrow x5 Ja'maar Chase x5

No doubt it's hard. 10 I loved but haven't seen listed:
Bobbie Williams
Jeremi Johnson
Issac Curtis
Eddie Edwards
Eric Thomas
Brian Simmons
Levi Jones (fought Jerry Porter and his whole "posse"" to a draw)
Germaine Gresham
(TouchDown) Eddie Brown
Leon Hall

I liked watching him break Leveon Bells leg and mangle ABs brains...

Chad
Burfict
Whitworth
Geno
Reggie nelson
Leon hall
TJ Houshmandzadeh
Dunlap
Willie Anderson
Dhani Jones
Only went for players I've actually seen play.wasnt born when the Ken's, munoz, Curtis, boomer played for us
RE: your top 10 favorite bengals ever - CJD - 06-18-2022
I'll list only the players that I actually watched:
1. Chad Johnson
2. Joe Burrow
3. AJ Green
4. Geno Atkins
5. TJ Houshmandzadeh
6. Willie Anderson
7. Andrew Whitworth
8. Domata Peko
9. Leon Hall
10. Reggie Nelson
I did my best to keep it to players that are not currently on the team since it's hard to rank a player who's been with us for 1 or 2 years (like Chase and Higgins, although they are 2 of my favorite current Bengals) among the players you watched over 5 to 10 years.
I did make an exception for Burrow though, since he gave us the first playoff win and super bowl appearance of my (conscious) lifetime.
RE: your top 10 favorite bengals ever - Truck_1_0_1_ - 06-18-2022
10. Leon Hall
9. Wilkinson
8. Jeremi Johnson
7. James Francis
6. Willie Anderson
5. Tony McGee
4. Burrow
3. John Copeland
2. Dunlap
1. Whitworth (favourite player ever)
RE: your top 10 favorite bengals ever - Nicomo Cosca - 06-18-2022
No specific order other than Chad being my all time favorite:
Chad
Willie
Housh
AJ
Geno
Whit
Tez
Nelson
Burrow
Chase
Yes - I’m already putting Burrow and Chase in there. They gave me the best season of my lifetime.
Honorable mention to Munoz the GOAT, but I don’t really remember watching him play, so I can’t say he’s a personal favorite.

Iirc he lost something like $5 million in total from over 20 games due to suspensions. To think of the career he could have had if he could have controlled himself a little better…

This is quite a leap from not even wanting him as our starting QB in the middle of this past season…

There’s something seriously wrong with you.
RE: your top 10 favorite bengals ever - Nicomo Cosca - 06-18-2022
Love all the Reggie Nelson mentions btw. :thumbsup:
RE: your top 10 favorite bengals ever - basballguy - 06-18-2022
I will say I was really high on Jordan Shipley. I thought he was going to be special.

Yep... He was a spitfire. He was on a mission to prove the league wrong in 2012, and he balled out in 2013. The shine wore off really fast though. He missed most of 2014 with concussions and knee surgery. He won and lost the wildcard game in 2015 then followed that up by being a bloated characture of himself for the remainder of his time... Then JuJu flattened him.

I had a hard time keeping Reggie and Leon Hall off my list. This would be cool if we'd do a ten favorite by decades too.
