The "Fire Zach" stuff is WEIRD

He thinks he’s good enough, otherwise he would have brought someone else in over the offseason, in the preseason, or during the season. He publicly said he’s the guy and he believes in him. Elite coaches can make the playoffs with a healthy playoff caliber roster paired with a backup qb.

Maybe it’s not good to design a team in a top heavy way that is easy to knock over? Look at how the patriots, ravens, 9ers, Steelers, etc build teams. They don’t draft a lot of high pick wideouts. They draft defense, oline, qb. Don’t get me wrong it’s exciting to have a lot of skill on offense, but it’s rare that it wins you championships. You need a good run game and defense. Balance is important and this offseason is great opportunity to find it.

I think they expected BA to return (like Perine and Vonn) and when he went to the 9ers, it caught them with their pants down.

Od wager that they pick up someone either in the draft or UDFA who fits the system and can learn from Burrow, to be halfway-competent.
