What if Burrow had stayed healthy and the Bengals won 2 more games out of WAS, NYG, MIA, and DAL, putting them at 4-8-1 at this point in the season?
Would that be enough to consider keeping Taylor on board for another year?

Bengals could have won even more games with Burrow, he is that good.  Burrow covered a lot of coaching sins so to speak.  But given your hypothetical, if Burrow remained healthy I think my feelings toward Taylor would be less harsh but feelings aside, I still think his game planning decisions are questionable, his hiring of Turner and Lou are of serious concerns, and I have not seen significant improvements from year 1 to year 2 to justify in keeping him around.  

Taylor does not have it; at least within the dysfunctionality of the Bengal Franchise that basically needs superhuman personnel to perform under Mike Brown's influences.  

The front office wanted a "hot" young coach, an upcomer  but Taylor was the wrong fit for the Bengals.  FO took a chance and made the wrong choice.  They need someone that knows football running the team.  Looks like Tobin is a hit or miss and I do not trust him after signing Hart for 3 years.  

Mike Brown is not current on how to run an NFL professional football team.  He is simply not current and I don't think he ever was open to the changing paradigm of winning in the NFL.  I am sure he understands football, but not like his father, and his refusal to acknowledge that the team needs to hire a competent GM to turn things around after 30 years is proof that winning is not a priority.
