For me success this season is not necessarily about total wins. If the team shows these 3 things, I will feel the season was a success and in a good position to build on for the future.
1. Joe Burrow – Aside from the bumps and ups and downs of most rookie QBs, Joe shows that the NFL game is not too big for him and shows improvement through the year to demonstrate that he is a franchise QB.
2. Coaching – erratic play calling and overall team performance last season, left me with questions around the coaching staff. More cohesion and flow in the play calling and improvement in the overall defense and offence performance to at least middle of the pack, would be a successful step forward.
3. Division – Competing within the division. Success would be going at least 3 – 3 in the division and splitting with the Steelers, Browns and Ravens. This would show that the Bengals can compete within their own division and have a path to the playoffs in the future.
From an overall wins perspective success would be going at least 7 – 9
