For the Shula Haters

The Bengals have fired Ken Zampese.

He's a guy who interviewed here previously, and comes from a solid background (his dad is Norv Turner's mentor).

At the very least, I'd love to see him brought aboard in a consultant role. He's had plenty of success as a QB coach.

Mind you, nothing's gonna happen, but if you want something to pin false hopes on, here ya go :(

In the pros, Marc Bulger, Carson Palmer and Andy Dalton.

The Bengals offense has had a ton of talent, and a good OL before this year and they've never been much to write home about. Do you like this guy as an OC or just connecting dots?

I am hoping that the reason our plays were so vanila bc we did not have the right personel to run his offense....hopefully that has changed with the new pieces we have added...Don't know who decides who should be in on the plays but im glad we dont have to see the bersin bubble screen anymore

Our plays are not vanilla in the first place. We use all kinds of different formations and different blocking schemes.

    • I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).
    • Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.
    • We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
