How Joe Burrow is going to cost Zac Taylor his job

Elgazzar/Cincinnati Enquirer-USA TODAY NETWORK

Former LSU football quarterback Joe Burrow is both the best and worst thing to happen to Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor.

The moment the Bengals drafted Burrow — one of the most hyped quarterbacks in recent years — the expectations and timeline for success under Taylor drastically changed.

Taylor, who was hired as the Bengals head coach in 2019 after serving as the Los Angeles Rams’ quarterbacks coach under Sean McVay, is an offensive-minded coach who specializes in quarterbacks.

In other words, the expectation is that Taylor will turn the Bengals into an offensive juggernaut with Burrow at the helm.
