In 2023 Taylor is completely clueless for running a "one dimensional offense" with the Bengals passing on 66.5% of their plays (2nd highest in the league).
But in 2022 Taylor was a brilliant coach taking us to the conference championship game with an offense that was passing on 62.3% of its plays (5th highest in the league).
Fans criticize play-calling based on results, not the actual calls. A coach can call the exact same play in the exact same situation and see it praised when it works but criticized if it fails. If a coach plays the percentages and it fails he is "too conservative", but if he tries something outside the box and it fails he is stupid for not "doing what every other coach in the league would have done" or "Getting too fancy".
