Will The Front Office Bank Burrows Rookie Contract On Taylor?

[Fan_in_Kettering]

Here's the issue:  Zac Taylor will get two years as head coach but no more.  The Front Office will have to face a sobering decision to keep Zac Taylor or not based on Joe Burrow's progress with respect to wins and losses.  Mike Brown, right or wrong, thinks he has found his 21st century version of Otto Graham in Joe Burrow and I believe Mike, right or wrong, will show far more loyalty to his franchise quarterback then he will his head coach.

Joe Burrow is putting up respectable rookie statistics on a horrible team.  The good news is the Bengals have a good quarterback.  The bad news is these statistics are not creating team wins.  Once COVID restrictions are lifted Mike needs some butts in the Paul Brown Stadium seats and if he thinks people will come to see Joe Burrow and accept team losses, he's completely wrong.  If his goal is to sell lots of #9 jerseys he'll quadruple his sales if the team starts winning.
