I'm completely ok with moving on from Burton.
Dude has had one of the worst rookie seasons as I can remember, especially off the field.
But IF the Bengals want to keep him around because they don't want to toss away a 3rd round pick after just one year, I would ONLY be ok giving him this upcoming year to shape up.
Dude needs to prove he has actually learned from his mistakes, and these are the kinds of mistakes that mentally you just need to think about to do, not something you have to learn over multiple years.
Luckily, there's really no harm in keeping him into TC/preseason before deciding to cut him.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
