BENGALS666 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Backed up both Bengals Super Bowl starters. Funny cuz I always think of Wilhelm - the other blonde lefty during Boomer's stretch. Turk was a good one though and it was nice to have a viable backup in those days.

AmishBengalFan Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I remember fondly the 1989 season. We were off our Super Bowl high and were picked to not only return but to win it all. We came up short, but damn if we didn't have the coolest-named QBs in the league: Norman "Boomer" Esiason Eric "The Kaiser" Wilhelm Turk Schonert It lasted only one season, as that was The Kaiser's first and Turk's last, but it was fun while it lasted.
