I'm open to the idea that ZT is a good coach, but he's probably not going to have to be faced with a Burrow-less team until he has 4+ rings and 16 years of coaching under his belt here.  

I guess it doesn't really matter, though.  I've spent my entire life debating or hearing people debate on whether or not Terry Bradshaw, or Chuck Noll, or Bill Bellichick were "really responsible for all those championships" because that's what people do.

I'll just let it all be...this is new territory you enter when a team is really good...people start to debate what factors made it good.  I'd still take Burrow and Marvin over ZT and Palmer/Dalton, though.  Hell, I'd take Burrow and Ken Zampese over them.  We can't ever go back in time and make 2022 ZT the head coach of the 2010 Bengals and see if he could get them to the playoffs.
