I see people say Zac is a bad OC/playcaller but good HC...

[Whatever]

So we’re really about to act like the players didn’t play out their ass for those playoff wins? What’s the playoff game where you can say “Jesus Zac really won them that one”?


Against Raiders Burrow and Pratt saved us.

Against Tennessee Ryan Tannehill being trash along with Burrow and McPherson saved us.

Against Chiefs Burrow and Jamarr Chase went absolutely insane. Zac’s poor coaching got us in a 21-3 hole early. McPherson saved him again.


If you are gonna say “well Zac called the plays that worked so well so give him satellite credit” then i don’t even know about that. Burrows headset went out against Ten so he called that whole last drive by himself. We don’t know how many calls are Zac’s calls and how many have been changed by Burrow.



As Zac’s biggest hater I’ll admit….he’s a great leader. His speeches make ME want to run through a wall for him.

He seems to have changed the culture by himself which is impressive.


He’s just not that guy as a OC. This is fine i just wish he’d pass it off. But there is absolutely not enough evidence pointing to Zac being good for 90% of the replies in this thread to be sarcastically making fun of the OP for questioning Zac.



Shit like this makes me wonder about a theory i had years ago, that some of you guys are paid by the team to post here and kinda keep things “calm”.


Y’all defending Zac like he’s been making playoffs for 10 years or something

There's a huge issue with the argument that talent is carrying Taylor.  Last year, everyone predicted that we would be battling for the #1 overall pick, not the Lombardi.  That's based on what our talent level was evaluated at.  

Furthermore, look at the guys we lost from last year.  There are literally 3:opening day starters, two of whom started in the SB, that are out on the street right now(Hopkins, Spain, XSF).  There are two more starters(Reiff, Uzomah) that are backups.  

I don't like to be "that guy", but this board as a whole has vastly overrated our players for years.  Jessie Bates has been pimped as the second coming of Ed Reed.  Auden Tate was a "high end #2" and compared to Mike Williams and now he's clinging onto some team's practice squad.  Joe Mixon is an elite RB.  Tyler Boyd is the best slot receiver in the game.  Tee Higgins is a #1 WR on most teams in the league.  It's always coaching and 1-3 whipping boys on each unit that's keeping us from SB glory.
