Back to the topic, I mean at some point the stats talk for themselves right?
- First back to back division titles.
- First road playoff win. Which was followed up within a week by another.
- First road AFC Championship.
- First 3 win postseason.
- First back to back seasons with a playoff win.
Obviously you can attribute different levels of credit to different parts, but ZT is the head coach and deemed responsible for it all. He obviously doesn't achieve this with Brandon Allen, but at the end of the day it also takes more than Joe Burrow to do all this, and ZT has helped build most of the roster.
If he wins a SB it's a non-argument.
The flaw in the Qb argument has been...the defense was the star of most those wins. We can all love Burrow and recognize great defense and kicking really has been our calling card in the playoffs to this point of Taylor's tenure.
