good choices

[*Wyche'sWarrior*]

Two good choices. I hope to see some older guys next year, but Dillon absolutely deserved it. Krumrie goes without saying...

[WeezyBengal]

Good choices. Dillion was one of the best at his position to ever do it.

Yes he said some stuff about the organization when he left, but it was deserved. The organization and ownership was a steaming pile of doo doo during the 90s - mid 2000s.

LOVE these two selections! Very deserving. And I loved the appreciation from Corey and the fact that Mike Brown was the one talking to them about the selections.


I'm with Wyche's Warrior. I hope to see some of the older guard in 2025 - hopefully Parrish and Trumpy. They are so deserving and getting long in the tooth!

[Sled21]

Great for Krumrie. Dillon should have had to wait at least another year after his temper tantrum last year. It's like giving in to a petulant little child.

[The D.O.Z.]

So far we have:

Founder/Owner/HC
Franchise LT
Franchise RT
2 Franchise QB
2 Franchise WR
2 Franchise CB
1 Franchise DL
1 Franchise RB


So my question is what other Bengals greats that played Safety, LB, IOL and TE deserve the nod in 2025?

[TecmoBengals]

Awesome, love seeing both get in. Dillon absolutely deserves it without question. Dude balled on bad teams.

[jfkbengals]

Awesome for both.

On the grand scheme of things, there are other names I would have put in before Krumrie, but he would still end up in there before all was said and done.

Fulcher, Nelson (not deserving at all, just throwing it out there as a modern S)
Reggie Williams, Simmons, LeClair
Montoya (I think he'll get in in the next 2 years), Bob Johnson, Lapham
Trumpy (I think he's in next year), Holman, McGee (Tony won't ever get in IMO, even though he is arguably the best TE we've ever had, after Trumpy)

Nice post! Any combination of Trumpy, Fulcher, R. Williams, Montoya would be my vote too if I had one.
Just curious, why Brian Simmons? I feel like Takeo was better. Simmons, to me, was GOOD. Solid player but not worthy of the first round pick they spent on him, pairing him with Takeo. Takeo, on the other hand, was a wrecking ball who went on to have a lot of productivity in Philly and Buffalo if I remember correctly.

Wait how is Nelson not in ROH? Also Casanova deserves to be in as well.

Spikes was definitely the better player. Acrimonious leaving (with no attempt to fix it, unlike CD) and Simmons being here for 4/5 more years, is why I'd pick Simmons over him. I don't think he'd make it in, personally.

Casanova is a good one, I forgot him. He may be like Spikes though, who left after too short a time.

I might be in the minority, but Dillon has no business up there. Yes, he played for some awful teams. Yes, ownership made this franchise a laughingstock in the 90's. That said, he was publicly stating before he left that he would rather flip burgers than play for Cincy. That doesn't feel "honorable" to me.

[XenoMorph]

Congrats to Both....

No reasons to hold any grudges.

He never said anything bad about the Bengals during those years of being the lone threat on horrible teams. But he was not treated well that last year with Cincinnati, so I can understand why he would say something like that.

He was an amazing player that could have carried good teams to the Super Bowl.

Just take a took at the 50th anniversary team to get an idea of who should be next.  I would vote for some combination of Max Montoya, Dave Lapham (for career and media), Reggie Williams, or Bob Trumpy

He was a very good player borderline HOF but he also was a jerk more than once as a player for Bengals and after was a real #$% towards the franchise... even last year.. that is why i did not vote for him, i was thinking about it last year until his tirade ... he deserves to be in but not yet
