The sentiment is exactly the same. The 2020 off season was objectively better than the 2019 off season and shows improvement in both player evaluation and ability to loosen the purse strings a bit with the aim towards winning more games.
Taylor does not get any credit for loosening the purse strings. But I think the fact that they did puts even more pressure on him.
The Bengals defense over the last two seasons has been worse than any two game stretch in team history. It obviously needed a lot more than just "tweeking". After all the money spent on Bell, Reader, Waynes, and McKenzie if they don't show HUGE improvement in 2020 Taylor will be in big trouble. He can't blame a rookie QB for a bad defense.
