The more astute of us knew that it could go south.
Yep.
Just like the sentiment on the board when Teryl Austin came in that he's going to turn a good defense into elite because he's going to emphasize turnovers. There was no second thought that maybe he'd be worse than Guenther.
My personal thought is this...Marvin's crew was undoubtedly better than what the Bengals have now. However, the Bengals were inevitably going to be stuck in that "QB purgatory" window where you don't have a Top 5 pick but you don't get deep into the playoffs.
I'm actually excited for this coming offseason because it should mean a Top 5 pick. The last time the Bengals had a Top 5 pick, they hit a slam dunk with AJ Green.
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. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
