The Bengals were only top-10 in passing attempts 1 time in AJ Green's career, 2019 when he didn't play a snap.

Burrow threw 399 pass attempts in 9.5 games. That's a 672 pass attempt season pace, which would be the 6th most EVER thrown in a single season.

Dalton's top 3 attempt seasons are 586, 563, and 528. (He would have had 650 in 2019 under Taylor if he played all 16 games.)

If they start setting passing attempt records, there's no question Tee will surpass AJ's numbers... it won't be the same, though, and it'll be at a good chunk of yards per catch less.

EDIT: Jeeze, I guess I never really thought about it properly. If Burrow and Dalton played full seasons, Zac Taylor has been on pace to have the 6th and 17th highest passing attempt seasons in NFL history in his only 2 seasons. Behind the last two years' OLs.... Goddamn they need a new OC/playcaller.
