As soon as we picked Sample people were like "Holy crap....great pick....great TE and ZT forced Mike Brown to pick him!" Ok, that may be exaggerating a bit, but I'm viewing the idea of Joe Burrow kicking the door to Mike Brown's office in and being the only QB we've had in the past 30 years who gives a crap about winning and holding Mike Brown at gunpoint and making him run this team like he gives a crap with the same skeptical eye.
I just enjoy the people-watching aspect of fandom. Last season we were going to take the NFL by storm because while the other teams were running their mouths we were calm and quiet and confident and under the radar. One year later Joe Burrow and his "I'm already a champion" swagger is going to be the key to taking the league by storm. Fair enough.
I remember the Sample pick. I'm no draft guru by any means, but I think I do a good enough job looking into prospects at positions of need to at least recognize most of the common names through the draft. And if I have to go, "WHO?!" when someone is drafted, that's not typically a good sign.
I said, "WHO?!" when Sample was picked.
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.
