The turnovers need to stop, and I won't even get on him for all the picks. I have said I am hoping that this is the year Trevor gets the Jags over the hump to becoming a true contender for World Championships. One thing that will help is him protecting the football.

I agree that Trevor has a lot he can improve on.  But I think there's too much emphasis on Trevor being the key to success or failure.  Success or failure is not entirely up to him.  Like I said before, too many people look at Trevor's wins and losses, his completion percentage, his touchdowns and turnovers, and make a judgment based on that, and don't look at the actual games.  Offensive success depends on 11 players doing their jobs, and one player not executing can make any QB look bad.  

Trevor can play the same this year as last year, but he will look a lot better because we have improved the team around him.  

So to say what you said, "I am hoping that this is the year Trevor gets the Jags over the hump..." what I am saying is, it depends on a lot more than just Trevor.  In fact, I would put it as "I hope this is the year Trent Baalke can get the Jags over the hump."  Because from what I have seen, in the case of Trevor, his success or failure this year will depend almost entirely on the players around him.

The constant attempt to try and make my comments into me slamming Trevor is laughable. Any rational person would conclude I am on Trevor's side, I want him and the team to succeed.

I never said everything is on Trevor, but I say again with feeling, that franchise QBs are what take good teams to being true contenders for winning it all every year.

We can agree to disagree on whether the roster and coaching staff is good enough around Trevor to win it all with him. I feel they are.
