I can only tell you to watch the all 22 film in Game pass to see how often he misses "better" receiving options. Because nothing i'm saying will convince you that he's doing just enough to have good stats, but not enough to win games. You don't really need it to see the ones that have already been pointed out that he's missed in crucial situations.

And...maybe you haven't said this, but what is more important, good stats or winning the game?

Correct.
Cincinnati is last place in red zone scoring percentage.
They went from scoring a TD in 71% of their red zone appearances in 2018 to just 16.7% so far in 2019.
What's different from 2018 to 2019?
QB is the same. The receiving options are basically the same (AJ Green out but Eifert is back healthy).
The difference is the offensive playcalling.
As frustrating as Lazor was between the 20's, he called a good red zone game.
