Is Collinsworth underrated as a Bengals great?

I can't easily access all the stats from 1988, but just looking at his longest reception for each game he had at least 5 receptions of 60+ yards and 4 more of 30+.  There were only 2 games where he did not have at least one catch of 24+ yards.  He and Boomer just scorched defenses that year.

I recall he suffered a neck injury vs the Colts I think in pre-season. He had 3 to 5 years left in him IMO if he doesnt get hurt.
So he had to retire. 
But he simply just ran past CBs and S. 
He was like a thicker Anthony Carter and very similar to
Stephone Paige , Wesley Walker, and Roy Green
