Yea this is mostly it.
The team has typically failed developing raw talent.
Not only that, this isn't a team knowingly in the rebuild phase where it's perfectly acceptable for their talent to take time to develop since they aren't expected to compete as a contender. Bengals have their core in their prime and it's time to win now.
Each season not getting at least back to the AFCCG is seen as a disappointment and getting closer and closer for that window to close. At least that's my view.
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.
