That's like saying the top guy at the drag strip runs nitrous injection and uses Mickey Thompson slicks, because he knows what runs well on that particular track, so the new guy with no wins should not use the same strategy. If you want to win, do what the winners do.
All I'm saying is the Bengals haven't proven to actually be able to do that strategy because their coaching/schemes/player acquisition or whatever doesn't seem to lend itself to that strategy.
If you want to go that strategy, they need to be better able to identify the proper talent and grow that talent to properly replace departing veterans.
How are the Bengals doing at replacing the likes of Bates, Reader, etc?
That's my point, and it makes a lot of sense.
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.
