Sometimes I hate to keep beating this drum but I feel a big part of the 2019 FUBAR of a season was our GM/Owner. I think he had his hands deep in the roster decisions as well as other stuff.

None of this is in defense of Taylor, I think he's very culpable as well. There's a big part of me that thinks we should just cut the cord and move on from ZT and Co. But the little part thinks he deserves another chance all things considered.

I just wish he would stand up to MB and say I'm running this show moving forward and Mike would get his spoon out of the soup.

This is pretty much how I feel.  Even if we got lots of good evaluation done in 2019, we still have a GM who thought we were in win-now mode when we went 2-14 and a HC who looks to be in way over his head.  Right now the main thing I'm getting from this (minus the Mike Brown stuff which is never going to change) is that there is a decent chance we go into 2021 saying that we couldn't get a real read on the skills of Burrow because he was saddled with ZT for all/some of the season and 2020 just didn't really count based on that.
