That's 9 TDs in essentially 17 games (technically 18, but I think we can agree the last game where AJ did nothing and got hurt instantly for the year isn't really a proper game) out of a possible 32.
That would be 17 TDs if they both played full seasons. Of course asking a full season out of Eifert is pretty much impossible. Heck, Eifert only started 2 games last year. I don't like Kenny Z as OC, and I think the Bengals need another proper receiving weapon, but you pulled out one single stat and then ignored everything else around it.

Zampese was very similar to both Jackson and Gruden in their first year as Bengals OC.
It's also worth noting that both Gruden and Jackson improved in nearly every category the following year, which can give hope that Zampese will do the same.
Not sure about the other stats, but without even looking it up, I can tell you those sack numbers are all jacked up. Dalton was sacked around 20 times as a rookie, 46 times in 2012, around 25 times in 2014 and 41 times last year. Are they counting some throw aways as sacks?
