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.
It should, because only 3 teams (2 QBs) threw for at least 40 TDs in 2021, and none above 43.
Also, again, are you not expecting Chase to improve at all over his rookie season? Are you not expecting Higgins to improve at all over his Sophomore season? Are you not expecting Mixon to do better behind a better OL? Being the 5th most important skill player on an offense, your production increases are almost always coming at the cost of someone above you. It's still an important spot, but it's not going to be a fruitful one so long as everyone stays healthy and produces as they should, and if they don't, then that goes right back to getting your increase from someone else's decrease.
