I do not get a vote. Lot of worthy names there.
I'd start with process of elimination. While I love Lap I do not think he is quite on the level of those other guys. He'd be my first one off the Island.
Reggie Williams and Breech were both wonderful servants to the club, but I put both in the "it's an honor just to be nominated" category. Those 3 would most definitely make up my lower quartile.
I think the remaining 12 are all very worthy, but for my money, Boomer (league MVP), Big Willie, Parrish, and Chad are a cut above. With not a lot of difference amongst the other 8.
Not a lot of separation on the rest. I listed All-Pro/Pro Bowl appearances with the Bengals for each guy.
Top quartile: Boomer (MVP, 1/3), Willie (3/4), Parrish (0/6), Chad (2/6).
Middle 2 quartiles: Trumpy (1/4), Curtis (0/4), Brooks (0/4), Fulcher (1/3), Montoya (0/3), Dillon (0/3), Collingsworth (0/3), Krumrie (1/2).
Lower quartile: Lapham (0/0), Breech (0/0), Williams (0/0).
I'd have nominated Cassanova as well, but he is the only obvious omission (Holman?).
