DontPushMe Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 imo Corey Dillon belongs (i know, he wasnt here for 10 years). A lot of people dont like him because of the way he went out, but he was the only thing that made this team worth watching for 6 years, that has to be worth something. Outside of that, your list is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MULLY Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 If I was retiring numbers I'd have to retire 14, 7, 33, and 78. 33 is only personal. It looks really strange for me to see someone wearing the stripes with 33 on there without it saying Fulcher on the back. I really don't want to see #7 either.

Utts Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Most of you have way too many... This seems like a good start. Ken Anderson Anthony Munoz Isaac Curtis Bob Trumpy Paul Brown James Brooks Corey Dillon You can bitch all you want about Dillon, but he was the star of this team pretty much the entire time he was here. His games against Houston and Denver are legendary. He's a prick, but there's no denying what he meant to this team for most of his time in Cincinnati.

MULLY Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 And if he (Dillon) was still on the team we'd still be backing him. I gotta agree that he kept interest in this team for a long time. When he would break for a run at least you thought we had a chance. He's a doucheface but no one can deny what he did. MULLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MULLY[/quote] I wanted him gone after his burger flipping comments before he signed his last contract. Rudi has already broken several of his records, and will most likely break all of them except the single game record before he's done. People still don't consider Rudi to be half the back that Dillon was though. Dillon's time here was filled with getting tackled for a loss and 50 yard games. Yes he could break one occasionally but he was inconsistant as hell. I know I know, 8 men in the box, shitty team around him, blah blah blah. Seems that Dillon, Takeo, Warrick, and Akili are excused because of the shitty team around them. I think their me first attitudes had a lot to do with the teams being shitty.

Heck, had that been the case, Rudi probly wouldn't even exist. Or at least wouldnt be a bengal. He was nearly cut before the season that he came off the bench and got 900 yards.

He did have two great games and Takeo didn't have any, but I still say without those two games Dillon was only good, not great. Of course he did have those two great games so I'm not taking them away from him. He was inconsistant, was tackled for a loss a lot, and had tons of sub par games, usually the bigger games. He was a pissy, selfish bastard his whole time here. He's still a pissy, selfish bastard, even after being traded to the best team in the league and winning a Super Bowl. He's a miserable human being who wants everyone around him to be miserable too. He was Carl Pickens part 2. I don't get the "suspended" comment. Of course they were sick of losing. Great players make the people around them better. Did they do that? Were they team first kind of guys?
