The 1988 squad was greater than the sum of its parts appear. So many guys on that team had seasons not properly represented by their careers. We see those players now with tainted glasses as we know what they were in total. These Bengals we see based upon as much what they could be as what they are.
That 1988 group can make an argument for the greatest rushing offense in NFL history. YPC combined with a uber elite ability to nab the short yardage. Losing their best blocking back the night before the Super Bowl, along with their best defender in the early moments, likely robbed them of a Super Bowl ring (biased).
Gio Bernard may end up being better than Brooks. That James Brooks avg'd over 5 YPC the whole season and had 14 TDs. The bar is awfully high.
