No need to dwell on the past as a mistake for not having done this earlier, it's cool they are finally honoring the team legends. It was a cool video.
Edit: I'm old enough to have been alive for both Super Bowls (only old enough to remember the second one); therefore, I appreciate the historical greats for this team, but I'm voting Chad. He made being a Bengals fan fun.

We knew it was coming but it's still pretty cool. The vid was very well done.
Ken and Ken have to go in first with PB and Munoz. IMO, the tiers. Please educate me when i forget to include someone, which i undoubtedly will. Tier 1: Anderson Riley Both of these guys should already be in the HoF. Tier 2: W. Anderson Dillon Both of these guys should (and hopefully will) be in the HoF. Tier 3: C Johnson Curtis L Parrish Esiason These guys at least could argue for induction. Then you have a bunch of other guys that did well and put up numbers for some time. I'm not going to list them here right now until i see them posted later. "The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."

You can add a couple each year for, say the next 5 years to get the easy ones in. From that point, it just becomes a debate.

Wonderful addition and great list of upcoming inductees. I’m really excited about this. I’m not going to be upset if this doesn’t happen, but I think down the road after the big name guys have been inducted, Andy Dalton needs to be put in there. He is the franchise leader in several categories, was the QB for a long period of time and produced over a quarter of the Bengals playoff appearances. It would be strange to not include someone who has all of these franchise records and statistics, even if he was never really a top flight player.

Elizabeth Blackburn kinda rock's! That's what I make of all of this! Seems like a real amazing person.
I'd help make video's for the inducted players for them, absolutely free. Not that they'll probably see this. I think another great fan engagement would be, since we have 17 games now, whenever we have our last home game of the season allow fans to vote on the uniform they want. Could you imagine picking the original 70's uniform or classic 80s and seeing Burrow and other's in them. Show you care for fans and they'll show they care for you and the team.

I still think each and every one of those guys should go in it right now though... Along with Isaac Curtis. You legit cannot tell the story of the Cincinnati Bengals without them.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Tier 3 guys should still have to be able to argue for their HoF induction. All the other guys you named were good/really good players, but they're more 'let's debate' type of guys. I loved Krumrie and Fulcher, the latter kind of changing the position when he played but the RoH needs to be guys that were above good/really good era players. How many people here are going to name guys like Mike Reid, Coy Bacon, Bob Trumpy, Bill Johnson, etc? There has to be some exculsivity to it. They can always put photos up of whomever they want on stadium concourse walls. "The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."

I don't know how old the OP is, or really how old most season ticket holders are nowadays (since they are the ones going to get to vote), but the whole "nobody else till Geno and AJ" deal is a slap in the face to dominant players like Tim Krumrie, who most people on here probably didn't get to watch play. If Krumie didn't break his leg in the 1st half of that Super Bowl, we would have won it. He was a legit sideline to sideline nose tackle.

I definitely remember Krumrie, but I was young. I was in 8th grade when he got injured in the Super Bowl. I know he was good, but I really don't know who his peers were. How did he stack up league wide? Things like that. I still like the idea of it being exclusive though. We've had a lot of really good players over the years, but only so many greats.

It will be interesting to see how exclusive the Bengals want this club to be. Four inductees makes sense in the first year or two because there's a lot of time to make up for. But unless you want to fill the whole ring pretty quickly it seems like you have to scale back to one or two a year.
The Bengals have a FAQ that says a little about this. https://www.bengals.com/team/ring-of-honor/faq Quote:How was it determined to have four members in the inaugural class? So besides Brown and Munoz, the initial inductees should have a reasonable claim for being worthy of the Pro Football HOF. That's: Ken Anderson Ken Riley Willie Anderson Chad Johnson If you include players who padded out their HOF credentials with other teams then add Corey Dillon. Then I think you start adding in people who had great careers with the Bengals who would probably be getting more of a HOF look if the Bengals could have just scored a Super Bowl win. Sam Wyche Boomer Esiason Isaac Curtis Lemar Parrish Then you can add some people who are special to the team and its fans. Forrest Greg Bob Trumpy Chris Collinsworth Tim Krumrie Reggie Williams David Fulcher Max Montoya Dave Lapham

I think this means Geno gets the honor after he retires because he is going to be a HOFer. I also think Whitworth should be added to the last tier.
