If Hurst has better production than Uzomah in 2022, it will likely cost someone else production. It will mean Chase or Higgins don't improve off 2021, Boyd gets phased out of the offense, or the RBs get removed entirely from the passing game. (Or there are big injuries.) It's not like Burrow threw for paltry numbers in 2021, there's only so much of an increase Burrow can make.

The Bucs threw for the most yards and most TDs in the NFL. They had the same number of 1,000 yard receivers and the same number of guys with more than 5 receiving TDs as the Bengals. Eventually there's a point where adding more talent doesn't mean more numbers, simply because you hit a limit of opportunity.

We were the 10th worst red zone offense in the league. There’s absolutely room for major improvement in that area (ie more TD’s from the TE position especially). We literally lived off the big plays last year. With a better OL we could absolutely see better red zone efficiency. I don’t think it would surprise anyone if Burrow throws for 40+ TD’s.
