As play-caller. He buys himself another year by handing over play calling duties to an OC.

What I would really like to know is, what the hell have they been doing since the draft! Obviously nothing! If the timing gets there lookout! Next Year and probably with different receivers! This ain't college Burrows.
Mainly holding virtual zoom meetings because the pandemic prevented any more.
Then when they got to camp the two receivers he overthrew (and I reckon the first one was on Ross anyway) both missed significant time in camp - Ross because of his family and AJ because of injury.

There are different aspects to the HC position. I have actually been impressed with several parts of the HC job he has done (the team buys in and didn't fold last year, I think he did a decent job preparing a rookie QB in unprecedented circumstances etc) but he needs an OC to design and call the plays because that aspect of it he's distinctly below par. The trouble is he got the job on the premise that he was some sort of offensive mastermind. He's not. It will be interesting to see if his ego or pride will get in the way of him recognizing that at the end of the year and delegating that to someone who is. With Burrow the Bengals will be a highly sought after destination for an OC - a 360 degree turn around from when Zac was appointed.
