Given Dunlap didn't get the franchise record in sacks, he's probably not going to be selected, at least for a while. He also has to retire, which is a requirement of the RoH.

Willie Anderson
Andrew Whitworth
Carlos Dunlap - I know it didn't end well, but he's deserving (all-time leader in sacks) and we should eventually forgive the dude
Tim Krumrie
Lemar Parrish
Isaac Curtis

And I'm probably leaving out a guy or two. I'm not saying we should lump all these guys in right away, but they should all be on a Bengals ROH.


Katie's daughter is pushing all these changes?

McGee and Ross are 3rd and 4th in receiving yards by TEs for Bengals.
First is Trumpy with 4600 yards, followed by Holman at 4329 yards.
Trumpy and Holman are also first and second in TDs by TEs.

The Bengals have a FAQ that says a little about this.  

https://www.bengals.com/team/ring-of-honor/faq



So besides Brown and Munoz, the initial inductees should have a reasonable claim for being worthy of the Pro Football HOF.  That's:

Ken Anderson
Ken Riley
Willie Anderson
Chad Johnson

If you include players who padded out their HOF credentials with other teams then add Corey Dillon.  

Then I think you start adding in people who had great careers with the Bengals who would probably be getting more of a HOF look if the Bengals could have just scored a Super Bowl win.

Sam Wyche
Boomer Esiason
Isaac Curtis
Lemar Parrish

Then you can add some people who are special to the team and its fans.

Forrest Greg
Bob Trumpy
Chris Collinsworth
Tim Krumrie
Reggie Williams
David Fulcher
Max Montoya
Dave Lapham

The 2 QBs not only lost their big chances, but I always viewed Boomer as a whiney crybaby and Ken Anderson went to the enemy and helped coach the Rapist. Not saying they shouldn't get in... eventually. Just saying that those two can wait it out and sweat a little.

Everyone respects him for his innovation of the no-huddle offense, but his record is not really that impressive.  He only had 3 winning seasons in 8 years as our head coach and just made the playoffs twice.  He only made the playoffs twice and has a losing record overall (61-66) but he did win an AFC Championship.

But I think most fans would vote him in mainly because of his big personality.

Regular season wins are certinally accomplishments
But getting to the SB is the rarest of team accomplishments
In the NFL.
To this day the Browns Jags Lions have still not done it.

Sam was a darn good coach. Innovative, the players loved
To play for him. Went to the playoffs in back to back years
I think...I could be wrong.
Sam is criminally under rated.
