For examples they been pretty active in free agency since He's been here(unlike them) and they vastly improved the facilities here(again unlike them).
It could be 100% true, and if Burrow wins 1 ring for the Bengals in his hopefully 10 years here, then it is worth it. LeBron needed a coach that he respected though before he won. When Burrow says Zac has a "great culture" I think he means Zac does what I say.
I would be eager to see a Burrow-less team for the rest of the year 1) for Burrow to completely heal and 2) what can Zac do without Burrow.
It's not super fair right now since Burrow is injured and really ***** everything up trying to play and not saying no.
If the NFL is about stories, sitting Burrow and bengals trying their best but still losing out is the beginning of a story for 2024.
I think the comparison with Lebron is correct. The coaching staff is not as smart as Lebron or Burrow and they know it. It's new ground to try and operate injured and at % of capacity, can't make the throws you normally can and can't move the way that would make sense.
