No he was not.
The line on Bengals wins before the season was 6.5. That is just 2 games under .500.
No one is disputing that the expectations were wrong. The question is "why". In Zacs case there is some proof that the improvement was due to better health and more talent.
You seriously want to argue that the addition of Chase, Hendrickson, Ogunjobi, Hilton, Awuzie, and Reif, plus full healthy seasons from Reader, Williams, Uzomah, Hubbard, Mixon, and Burrow (combined 50 games missed in '20) did not have anything with the increase in our win totals?
