If Burrow is out Zac will be exposed

I also think it's impossible to say if 2018 is an outlier because Taylor and company is an unknown variable. It's like saying we know exactly what AJ Green was because we have all of his stats. Well you also had probably one of the worst deep throw QBs in the league as his QB for the best part of his career. 

Lol, so Joe Mixon is secretly amazing but has been held back for the last 5 years and his rookie year too... but Dalton was one of the worst deep throw QBs in the league?

That's an interesting alternate reality.

Was Dalton always amazing at the deep ball? No. But one of the worst in the league is just nonsense to say, that he somehow kept us from knowing what AJ Green could have been. He was a 7x Pro Bowler, 2x 2nd Team All-Pro. A great-but-not-elite WR who could make spectacular catches but would drop a fair number of really easy ones, and struggled against physical press coverage.

Meanwhile Mixon has been subpar or bad in 6 of his 7 years and his yards after contact keeps dwindling even though his yards before contact have increased every year he's played for Taylor.

In 2018 Mixon averaged 2.7 yards before contact and 2.3 yards after contact.
In 2023 Mixon is averaging 2.5 yards before contact and 1.4 yards after contact.

Mixon's problems are the same they have been. He lacks good vision, lacks good balance, doesn't have that final breakaway gear to hit a homerun or get the outside edge, and way too much of the time he runs with the physicality of someone 30 pounds lighter
