Message Board All-Time Bengal Team (RB)

[Johnny Cupcakes]

I went with Dillon. If you pick anyone other than him or Brooks, you need to lay off the Mt. Dew.

Side note. The picture of Corey Dillon up there is the all time best jersey that the Bengals have worn. I wish they'd go back to something like that.

While I really enjoyed watching James Brooks play, I had to vote with Corey Dillon as the better RB.

It really is a shame that Corey Dillon didn't get to play on some better Bengal teams than he did.

Not only is he one of my top 5 all-time favorite Bengals, and a guy who could absolutely do it all...but pound for pound, was one of the toughest SOB's to ever wear the stripes.

Spot on...JB was no joke!

Loved Brooks as a kid, but Dillon was a lone bright spot during a very dark decade.

Now this was a tough vote for me. I think James Brooks was the consummate professional as well as an outstanding football player and running back for this franchise. However, I had to vote Dillon as I think he was just a special player that does not come around very often. He was what you look for in an every down back. Speed enough to take it all the way yet just a physically dominating runner.

Chris Perry is the best Bengal RB of all time no question end the GD thread.

I think that was too short lived, but he played well on some very bad teams.

Corey Dillon, ran with power and could play every down regardless of down and distance. Did that on bad teams.

They knew he was the weapon.  Stacked the box and he still put up those kind of numbers !

Harold Green only has 8 more rushing TDs for the Bengals than I do.

[Joe Pong]

I'd vote for Garrison Hearst if he was on the list...

Good choice,

Garrison and I are tied for career rushing TDs as a Cincinnati Bengal.

Loved James Brooks ! But Corey Dillon got massive yards on some awful Bengal teams with little else but him. Have to go Dillon !

[Atomic Orange]

Corey is the 18th leading rusher of all time and a legitimate HOF candidate. I loved James Brook's but this is no contest. Ki-jana wins.

Wow, Corey's really pulling away. Not long ago this poll was dead even.

[wolfkaosaun]

Dillon easily. But I also think Rudi Johnson was vastly underrated and still is to this day by everyone, Bengals fans included.

Loved JB but he put the ball on the ground too much.

Dillon once held the rookie and all-time single game rushing yardage records simultaneously.

[J24]

Dillon hard to ignore 6 straight 1,000 yards season as a Bengal.
