Lack Of Broncos In Canton Disrespectful?

If Floyd Little, who rushed for 6,323 yards and earned three Pro Bowl berths, thinks the lack of Denver Broncos players enshrined in the NFL Hall of Fame is disrespectful, he should try viewing the Cincinnati Bengals exhibit in Canton. It's putrid.

Despite earning two Super Bowl spots, and playing in two intriguing matchups with the San Francisco Forty-Niners (believed by many to be among the greatest Super Bowls ever played), the Bengals have only a single representative present in the Hall of Fame: Anthony Munoz.

What about Ken Anderson? He was one of the first QBs to head the "West Coast" offense. He played in four Pro Bowls. He threw for 32,838 yards, 197 touchdowns and boasts another 2,200 yards rushing. He also led the NFL in Quarterback Rating four times (74, 75, 81 and 82).

Chris Collingsworth played well, too. His career totals? Some 417 receptions, 6,698 yards and 36 touchdowns. He surpassed 1,000 yards in four different seasons. He was elected to three Pro Bowls. Those are good numbers, too.

Certainly, if Little can make an argument, so too could Bengals fans for Anderson (and maybe Collinsworth), no?
