Dude doesn't even have a winning record yet and you're talking HoF. A LITTLE preemptive. Lol

Eh, I don't think Zac singlehandedly did those things. I think that is Katie and the Blackburns.

This! It used to be a standard rule of thumb that a drafted OL would take 1-2 seasons to develop.  Now it’s a total crapshoot as to whether a draftee will develop into a serviceable starter.

That’s why I hope the front office looks to FA for OL.

Your buddy Belichick started slow too but Zac’s tracking.

"My buddy" Belichick was a 2x Super Bowl Champion DC that led 4 top-5 scoring defenses in 6 years before becoming a HC. 

Then when he didn't have a winning record after 5 years of being a HC he was fired and had to earn his way back by taking a 29th scoring defense and getting 3 straight top-10 scoring defenses (including a top-2) as a DC before getting another HC job.

Yes unlike Zac, Bill had 4 of 5 losing seasons to start and the last year 5-11 was fired. Zac meanwhile has a true trajectory. He’s won an AFC title, played in another one, and played in a Super Bowl.

It is getting disturbing.

Imagine being a fan of a football team and your existence is constantly defending or inserting the coach of the team at every turn. Not one person on here I can think of beats the drum for any actual player on the team as much. Even Reuben's hate for Mixon shows up only on a running play. Not inserting someone's name into anything that ever pop's up one the board seems to be impossible.

Ha ha you guys I’ve been trolling lol. Not 100% but mostly today

Okay, which one of you all are posting on NFL Reddit? Poor guy catching strays in a thread for a game he's not even coaching in. From the Chiefs Dolphins game thread...

tua checking down like every pass into a screen that loses yards is zac taylor's offense and i hope tua knows he can be sued for this

McDaniel called a terrible game, but Tua also looked like playoff Andy Dalton out there. He ain’t it.

I also think Miami just isn't built for weather. They had lost their last 10 straight cold games (11 now), by an average of 3 scores. No grit, quite soft.

Watching these games is a reminder how tricky navigating through the postseason is.

Unlike Burrow, most QBs are not able to win "in spite" of their HC. 

OR.......

I like Zac


That’s my input….

Well give Bengals credit, at least they have shown up in every playoff game under ZT, unlike some other teams and coaches like this year

Look at Detroit previously and Dallas 0-8 since the late 90’s

He has a career winning percent under .500 and has never won a Super Bowl. He's not yet a future HoF'er.

Never said he was yet. Just pointed out he’s got a nice trajectory and Belichick started worse. But I was playing with some posters on all this.
