I can't exactly pin point in terms of all the intracies and schematics of the offense I will leave that to the smarter posters but my eyes tell me this not a good marriage
What got me thinking was Hue Jackson vs the Steelers last week.
DeShon Kizer 1st NFL start. Very average WR/TE core.
Yet they score 18 points vs a defense that the Bengals struggle with.
Yet I look at the Bengals output Sunday
0 pts
Red zone issues last year red zone issues game 1.
Hmmm common thread....Ken Zampese.
When Hue was OC here Dalton was automatic in the red zone
Awesome TD to Int ratio.
Sunday Dalton throws a pass he would not throw 2 years ago.
I could go on and on .but I will let the smarter posters help full in my thoughts

Certain people are good at only coaching one particular thing and struggle when changing/expanding their roles. I believe Zampese is a great example of this. He's been a fine QB coach (at least it seems), but it doesn't seem like he's very good at being an OC. That may be jumping the gun a bit because both Hue and Gruden made improvements in their second year at OC, but from what I've observed so far, he's worse than both of them.
