No. Not at all. The teams with quality coaching get better quicker.

That, to you, doesn't matter? No, wait... let me guess. I can fill in this blank for you: They are all paid employees of the Bengals, so they aren't telling the truth. That's your go to, right?
Actually I have said many times that the biggest key to the turnaround was the fact that Burrrow was leading the league in interceptions over the first 14 weeks then just threw 2 over his final 7 games. But since you can never argue with what I actually say you just make up straw men to knock down.
But from what I recall Burrow did not blame his knee injury for the interceptions. Instead it was poor decision making. He was trying to force too much. A coach can't fix an injury, but he should be able to manage his QBs decision making.

No adjustments were made at all on the Bengals that other teams didn't also do?
Exactly. The Bengals made adjustments over the course of the season just like every other NFL team.

You feel as though this 3 years as a HC and OC is all it takes to reach maximum, end potential to be equal to guys like I just mentioned?
Actually guys like Reid, Harbaugh and Tomlin were winners in their second seasons as head coaches. Tomlin won a Lombardi in his second season. Harbaugh took over a 5 win team and won playoff games his first two seasons. Andy Reid took over a 3 win season and won a playoff game in his second season.

Nothing is wrong with me.
