Having a great QB on a rookie deal is a cheat code in the NFL

I don't know anything about coaching in the NFL but I believe many professions require making adjustments to maintain success. I hope Zac is flexible enough to change things when needed. 

After the Browns game a reporter asked Zac about not using TEs and Zac said it is because they have three of the best WRs in the NFL. If Zac loses some of those WRs then will he adapt his offensive approach? My gut says we'll be without Boyd and Tee as early as next season. Zac is going to have to adjust his offense, right?

To be fair, they did adjust last year. They threw the ball underneath a TON. They didn't rely on explosive plays once a lot of teams started playing a ton of cover 2 against us. We were bottom in the league in total explosive plays.

People don't want to hear it, but this offense was good last year, not bad. They were top 5 in passing yards per game and 7th in points per game. They were ranked pretty high in pretty much every major offensive statistical category. One of the only things they really struggled with was running the ball. 

I've also seen stuff schemed up so far this year that takes advantage of pre snap motion (timed up with with the snap) and other "newish" concepts - they just don't do NEARLY as much of it as teams like Miami dooes because honestly, the Bengals don't have to. They rely on timing routes, the skill of the elite WRs, and the accuracy of their QB to move the ball...there isn't anything wrong with that.

Everyone wants to crown Miami as some generetional offense, but just wait. Defenses will adjust and the tried and true method of run/pass will prevail.
