If Zac Taylor doesn't evolve, Joe Burrow and the Bengals' 2021 season is already over

Chase, obviously.

Mixon is good, if healthy, but rarely is anymore.

Boyd is a good slot/possession guy, but only 1 TD to 4 Int's on 35 targets this year.

Higgins has struggled outside the red zone this year and isn't even Top 100 in yards/target.  Folks had high hopes on him developing into a WR1 or 1b, but he hasn't shown it this year.  

You look at Tampa, they have Godwin, Evans, AB, Gronk, and Fornette.  Plus their depth guys are guys like Ronald Jones, OJ Howard, and Tyler Johnson.

Or Zac is a McVay disciple.  McVay had Cooks, Kupp, Woods, and the best RB in the game in Gurley when he went to the SB.  He currently has 4 WR's with 200+ receiving yards with Kupp, Woods, Van Jefferson, and DeSean Jackson.  We have 2.  

You can get by with 3 weapons if 2 of them are elite, not guys like Boyd who had a couple of seasons where he barely got 1000 yards because there was nothing around him and they force fed him targets.  

This past week is a perfect example.  We have nobody currently like Devonta Adams who can just go out there and take a game over.  Chase could very well become that guy, but it's very early to annoit him that.

Not to mention Trey Hopkins has been abysmal this year.

So...CJ Uzomah is in his final season with the Bengals.
OJ Howard happens to be in his final season with the Bucs and is playing second fiddle to Gronk (who wouldn't?).
I LOVED Howard coming out of college.
I thought he could have been a perfect Eifert replacement.
I know he's been plagued by some injuries in the past, but I'd be all for the Bengals going after him as the new starting TE over Uzomah.
I just think Howard has more potential.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Patience has paid off!

Sorry for Party Rocking!
