Zac Taylor defenders??

No coach we've ever hired has been part of the Bengals family. Zach has 0 history of success in any level of coaching and wasn't qualified to be a head coach in any way. I think a lot of people were willing to give him a chance and quite a bit of slack but again, after over a year and a half, he has compiled the worst starting record in NFL history. 

I'm not of the crowd who's going to blame Taylor for Burrow getting hurt. Players get hurt all of the time and it was more of a freak injury than anything. That said, I don't think Taylor has done anything to help prevent him getting hurt. 

After having one of the worst starts ever as a coach and getting the #1 pick...Taylor literally didn't change anything. Not a single coach. Our defense was terrible, our offense was terrible, our Oline was terrible, and you can't say that's solely because all of the players sacked. Instead of doing any sort of reflecting on the choices he made he decided to go with the stubborn approach that "I know best" despite what the results actually showed...kind of sounds like Mike Brown that we all detest, huh? 

How many of us begged to at least try bringing in Jack Del Rio or other coaches with actual experience and a history of success? What happens when he's actually brought in to a team...they go from one of the worst defenses in the league (like us) to a top defense in the league in one year (not like us). 

Again, please explain to me what ZT is trying to do, what he has accomplished, and how HE will turn things around. Ive called a lot of people out for being doom and gloom turds but complaining about ZT honesty can't even be argued with. I look forward to you trying though.

The offense has progressed (yes, it was due to Burrow, but that's still progression FFS) from what it was last year and his rapport with the offensive skill players seems to be superb (aside from Ross).

The two glaring holes last year were oline and LB. We shored up one of those and the LB play has been significantly better... but now the dline is slipping. That falls on Lou.

And the stubbornness seems to not be a Marvin thing, as Turner will continue to play his guys over the clearly-better guys.

With the way the, "leaders," of this team (aside from Dunlap) have spoken about the offense as a whole and Zac, I'm inclined to believe that he's doing a pretty good job in certain aspects (not to mention his play-calling/play-design is light-years ahead of last season), but that he has two massive deadweights, holding him down and he needs to cut them off by the beginning of next year (Lou and Turner).

I'm not crucifying Zac just yet, 'cause he still has the team playing hard and not giving up, but I'd like to see the two deadweights be gotten rid of, before anything definitive.
