Kind of yes, kind of no.
He's had 5 seasons out of 7 with 5+ sacks. Each of those seasons, he played in 12+ games, 4 of the 5 he played 15+ games.
There were 2 seasons midway through cut short with injury and 2021 was entirely cut due to injury though, I'll give you that.
He still has not been a double-digit sack guy any season, regardless of reason.
I don't have confidence Stewart will either.
I think Stewart will more likely be in the 5-8 sack range once he hits his peak. And that's ok, especially if he really becomes a stud in run support. That will give him a long NFL career. I just don't know if that would necessarily be worthy of 17th overall, at least in my book.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
