Burrow is a generational talent at the pro level. Zac will look like a bum without him over the rest of the season. Next season could be different.
The Bengals made some choices in recent drafts to forego early RB/TE/OL picks in favor of Dline & secondary. The real debate will be Higgins. What could they have hauled in for draft picks had they traded him in 2023? That might have been a huge missed opportunity for a guy they likely can't afford to keep beyond 2024.
Comparing Belichick to Zac is nonsensical. Bill proved his worth as a master defensive mind. Multiple teams wanted him to be their HC decades ago.
Zac was not a good play caller for the one month in Miami and very bad in his one year at UC. He failed his way into a WR coaching job for one season, then QB coach for one season. We have had issues with his scheme and play calling since he arrived.
I do think Zac is an ok head coach that will become a good one. But he is no Sean McVay, Reid, or even McDaniel when it comes to controlling the offense.
