Normally I don't like comparisons but I can't help thinking about Marvin Lewis in 2003 because there was such a huge immediate difference in how the Bengals played. It was visible and measurable.
It's like making a swing change in golf; if the trajectory of the golf ball doesn't immediately improve then abandon the swing change. Marvin immediately improved the Bengals and Zac has not. I'm personally fearful for Joe Burrow's health. Yes, he's a tough kid but accumulating multiple hits per game will take its toll -- and what I really fear is a cheap shot. Do you think Bud Dupree will hold back if given a free path into the Cincinnati backfield? Ask Matt Moore about Bud Dupree.
Zac Taylor is a smart dude and I find him very personable. In my opinion he belongs in the broadcast booth as a commentator and needs to stay out of the locker room and away from the sidelines.
I've tried hard to give ZT the benefit of the doubt. But I must confess my patience is wearing very thin.
