Trust me when I say that it was like watching a ballet (after hand to hand combat to get off the line).
For the record, I place Chad unquestionably as the Bengals' all-time best. But Curtis HAS to be in the discussion with A.J. for second greatest.
Re. my ranking of Pittsburgh's receivers ahead of ours --they have three really good proven NFL receivers. In addition to being Speedy Thomas, I am also Doubting Thomas. Chase might blow them all away. But I'm gonna have to see him do it.
Curtis was amazing in what was pretty much a time when DBs could do anything they wanted to do. Imagine what kind of numbers he would have had, if he had a free release off the LoS....
