He thinks he’s good enough, otherwise he would have brought someone else in over the offseason, in the preseason, or during the season. He publicly said he’s the guy and he believes in him. Elite coaches can make the playoffs with a healthy playoff caliber roster paired with a backup qb.
Maybe it’s not good to design a team in a top heavy way that is easy to knock over? Look at how the patriots, ravens, 9ers, Steelers, etc build teams. They don’t draft a lot of high pick wideouts. They draft defense, oline, qb. Don’t get me wrong it’s exciting to have a lot of skill on offense, but it’s rare that it wins you championships. You need a good run game and defense. Balance is important and this offseason is great opportunity to find it.
I’ve said numerous times on this thread and others previously the backup QB is indeed on Zac & Brian. I think it was short sighted. But they dug a hole with Joey B playing when he shouldn’t have and if they’d had a better backup maybe it’s different. But expecting Browning to go win us a bunch of games isn’t realistic.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.
