1.  Developing a rookie Qb in Burrow:  you can tell they have a strong relationship and he has been open to Burrow and his vision and has guided him well over these two years.
2.  Draft:  Overall the draft of the past 3 years has been a solid draft, you are not going to hit on every pick but he has impact players from every year.
3.  FA  it is easy to spend money on FA but harder to get a return for your investment... Under Taylor we have gotten early returns and if you throw in getting Hill for Price, what a great trade.

Hope Bengals finish strong but regardless ZT as earned his stripes this year

One other thing that he has been very effective with is penalties.  No longer do we expect that super dumb penalty that costs us a game.   I'm not counting that Von Bell penalty in the 49er game because I have seen several things like that in other games that were worse and not called.   But overall we are a much more disciplined team.
