I hate to say it, but it does seem so at times. I mean, they couldn't fire Taylor after the success of the past 2 seasons, but I know that many fans (openly or not) have kind of wondered what the offense would look like with one of the elite offensive minds (Shannahan/Mcdaniel/McVey/Reid/Dabol/Waldron/Johnson and I could name more, but you get it...Kelly called an amazing game against us too haha) paired with the weapons we have. After the success over the past two seasons, I get that they had W's and stats to keep their jobs of course, but I have at times at least considered the point that the quote above is trying to make. Having a Wr core like that with a young qb of Burrow's pedigree and talent has been such a golden opportunity. Maybe I'm just pissed off and venting, because I usually keep thoughts like these to myself. I actually think Taylor has some good qualities as a coach, although offensive ingenuity hasn't been one I would credit him with. I was a little jealous when Baltimore landed Monken this off-season.
