Being a Bengal = strike 1

No Ring = strike 2

Zero playoff success = you're out

If we assume (and hopefully) both have 3 or 4 more very productive seasons they'll be in the hunt statistically. But realistically they have to have a couple deep playoff runs for any consideration. And to have a real chance they need a ring, because they're Bengals.

There's plenty of HOF'ers that don't have rings or much playoff success. That said, being Bengals, they probably need those things and then some.

There's only 3 DTs in history that are even close to that number. Plus Sapp extended his career some by moving to DE. 

I've always thought HOF consideration should come down to how dominant the player was in their prime, and Geno has been without question a top 2 DT over his career. Probably the best IMO.
