It boggles me the low level of expectations being expected of ZT in year number 1

How well or not well the team plays in 2019 could determine what exact Strategy gets taken by Zac & the Organization starting in 2020.
As pointed out by other Posters, Zac has inherited players that "aren't his guys" and a number of the Key players are "aging". Should 2019 not go very well, then Zac & the Organization may look to the mini-rebuild path possibly to the point of bringing in a 1st round rookie quarterback. Even consider trades of a key aging player or two.
There is a bit of a win soon window with this group of veteran players coupled with a need for Zac to bring in more of his own system fitting players to build towards the future.
Bengal fans may end up having to be even more patient should Zac & the Organization decide to reboot in 2020 with say a young QB.
A good 2019 could keep this window open while a bad 2019 could lead to greater changes going forward & fans may be expected to be patient as even more "New Dey" changes occur.
