Not trying to make Walsh look like Taylor or vise versa. Just giving an example of how turnarounds don't always happen overnight.
Maybe Zac ends up being a complete dud like Shula, who also started 8-24. I just think it's still too early to declare that because we have to see how the season plays out, how many games they end up winning and what they look like during that process.
I just reread your post. So Walsh started out 2-21 and then ended year 2 at 8-24 as you said. He inherited a 2-14 team, ZT inherited a 6-10 team. I see that as a huge difference. Walsh took a bad team and stayed status quo. ZT took a bad team and got worse by 4 games.
I am not and will not say fire ZT yet. This is just a conversation. I am concerned as we spent more money in FA in 2020, we got a 1st round draft slot position. We got our 1st round pick in 2019 back and we got one our best receivers if not the best AJ Green back. My point is ZT has to improve on his 2019 performance, to date he has not.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
