Everything is great culture when you're winning. Everything is bad culture when you're losing. The whole "Zac built a good culture in the clubhouse" bit was always overplayed. That culture was getting Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase and winning. Go and lose, and you have Pratt screaming at Ossai and no talk of good culture.
Win and things are good. Always has been the case.
By the same measure, if Burrow magically gets better and they roll off 4 straight wins, the locker room will be back to being immaculate and there will be talk again about what a good locker room culture Zac has built. Just win.
This guy gets it. We sucked bad enough draft Burrow #1OA. Since the O-line had stayed bad, he gets carted off his rookie year and we draft Chase. Both superstars in college. Now we win and it is somehow some magic to make something out of nothing. The smoke has cleared, mirrors are broken.
Like a teenage girl driving a Ferrari.
