When Lazor took over, things took an uptick, in a serious way. Not his fault that he had no OL to work with, and players steadily got injured.

Zampese was just really really bad. Not just how the start of '17 was historically bad, but even in 16 they were pretty awful, despite having Whit and Zeitler. They were also terrible in the redzone, and in scoring in general. The Bengals were the 24th scoring offense in 2016.
Judging the offense off the last 2 games feels awfully silly, considering the entire team has quit now. That's not a Zampese/Lazor thing, that's a Marvin thing.
These posts nailed my thoughts.

Not particularly, no. He did an admirable job with this shit show o-line, but I just want to start from scratch. If someone like Jay Gruden is hired, I want him to be able to pick his own offensive staff at the very least.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
