The further we get onto the Taylor "era", the more I believe that he's nothing more than a useful idiot for the do-nothing absentee landlords that own this team.
We were told that they stood pat last season because the new staff combined with the protracted search made it hard to determine what kinds of players they needed to pursue. If that's the case, then this should be the offseason to be more active in building the roster. Realistically, it was probably just an excuse. While the ownership here might not be good at many things, they are never at a loss for creative excuses when it comes to their inaction. They can spin anything to make it sound like all they do is business as usual.
There are only 32 HC jobs in the world. Taylor had a suspect resume at best. His staff is even worse. I don't have any trouble whatsoever believing that Mikey and Co told him what was up before they hired him regarding how they operate. They likely told him to take it or leave it. Embrace the moronic Bengal Way or seek employment elsewhere, all while watching other job openings around the NFL get filled.
