Ring of Honor Ceremony

Curtis played in a offense that I can compare to 
Let's say to the Browns offense under Stefanski
In that meaning 5 to 7 guys on offense could be dialed
Up to beat you.

Those offenses in Curtis tenure had a pleathora
Of weapons. Chip Meyers..Bob Trumpy..HoF Charlie
Joiner, Lenvil Elliott, Pete Johnson, Cris Collinsworth
Dan Ross, ML Harris.....

Curtis was never going to be a 1,000 WR in the
Bengals offense. The volume of targets was never
Centered on 2-targets. 
But that doesnt make him any less among
The WRs of his day...
Lynn Swann had lesser numbers than Curtis.
He is,only a HoF er cause he has rings
You didnt see WRs getting 1,000 yds on a regular
Basis until eh...lets see...the early 80s...
Morgan,Walker, Loften...but offense were opening
Up and it added 2-games in 78.

Curtis was just as talented as Chad. He played
In a era where DBs abused and mauled WRs.
And the safeties in Curtis time would decapitate you
Thom Darden, Jack Tatum, Charlie Waters, 
Donnie Shell, Dick Anderson, Gary Fencik

Nobody had.the combination of speed
And hands that Curtis had.
And Ike also played 3-years with garbage
At QB. 

And Chad didn't play with:

At WR:

- Touraj
- Warrick
- Henry

At RB:

- Rudi
- Dillon
- Benson

At QB:

- Smith
- Kitna
- Mitchell
- Fitzpatrick

We'll just pretend he also didn't play with other weapons and (at times) dogshit QBs, right?

Come on; Chad wasn't protected by other players, was double teamed, had dogshit throwing to him for his first 2 years and all of 2008 and still LED THE CONFERENCE in yards.

Using the excuse that, "there were too many weapons," is complete BS (and you know it).

Stop with the excuses. The guy is Bengal great, but he is not at the level of AJ, Chad, Collinsworth or Pickens. The numbers prove it, the peers prove it and he's the only one to have an NFL MVP throwing it to him, outside of Collinsworth (and Pickens for 1 year with Boomer).

I have yet to see a single one of you, "Curtis 1st," people, post or provide any TANGIBLE, physical evidence or numbers, in this argument. Just excuses and, "he looked better."

Stop.
