I think he's taken so many hits/sacks as a result of poor oline play as well as Taylor's long developing route designs he uses at times.
Taylor's route concepts are no longer than anyone else's. The Bengals run a modified offense of the Rams, essentially. Just like the Rams, there are built-in hot reads and check-downs. Burrow was just bad about utilizing them. This goes back to his playstyle. He would keep the play alive for a chance at a bigger play down the field rather than dump it off short. Most NFL offenses run similar plays with slight modifications. Taylor isn't doing anything different than anyone else.
