He's the face of the team, and he's a captain. He's on there respresenting the Cincinnati Bengals. When he's directly asked "how is your relationship with Zac Taylor" he's really only got one way he can answer that. (Good, or great, followed by explantion as to why it's good or great)
Mike Brown, the owner of the team, just publicly put out a statement supporting Zac Taylor and he announced his return. Any player that is asked about Zac Taylor immediately following that announcement can only approach the question in a positive manner.
It would be one thing if Joe Burrow went out of his way to bring in Taylor up, even when unprompted. But when he's specifically asked about him what else would you expect to say?
His tweet on Monday was unprompted and not needed, but yet in appearance seemed like a ringing endorsement giving the timing? I just feel you guys are trying really hard to believe Burrow doesn't believe in Taylor because of how much high expectations we have for Burrow vs how terrible we think ZT is. While its all warranted, there is a lot of guesswork and speculation on both sides. Really at this point it doesn't matter. If they are going to forward with ZT, might as well have the QB believe in him or its going to be a 100% disaster instead of like a 98% disaster.
