Lacy has proven to continue to be productive and consistent.
But then you have the offensive line, defensive line, and so on.

Green = Thomas. Thomas is a beast. And Sanders had a really good year, and glad. Talib and Ware I can get behind. But don't forget, Atkins is arguably the best DT in the league. We also had Burfict. The defensive line was once viewed as the best and deepest in the NFL. Our secondary was full of first round picks besides Iloka.

Fact of the matter is, the Bengals have an extremely talented roster that can go up against anybody. I was showing how 'elite' so players were on those teams by looking at All-Pros. Bengals have had All-Pro players. Also Pro-Bowl players. There is zero reason to believe that the Colts, Texans, and Colts had more 'elite' players than the Bengals do. You can discuss "really good" and so on, but when it comes to elite and All-Pro, no team really has all that many.

Idk about Green > Nelson. It's really really close.
I would say Cobb > Jones or Sanu pretty easily. Cobb would be able to be a #1 WR easy at almost any other team.
Green Bay has a really good offensive line. Not too far from ours I would say.

You say we have people like Atkins, but 2012 was the only year he played like himself (13 was injured, and 14 he didn't play all that great). The defensive line was viewed as one of the best in 2012, and part of 2013 when Atkins was healthy, but it it went down drastically when Atkins got hurt (and hasn't came back 100% since). Most of our first round picks in our secondary has been hurt in the playoffs (Hall 2011, 2013 was out and, Newman 2013, 2014 was out). Burfict was playing injured in 2013, and he was out in 2014.

In 2011, and 2012 we didn't have the talent needed to win in the playoffs, and in 2013, and 2014 we had too many injuries to win in the playoffs.
