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.

They might be now.  They obviously weren't last year.  Anyone who actually watched the games would agree.

We had a huge problem at Center, which caused a cascade of problems along the offensive line, especially after it was hit with a lot of injuries.  Add to that losing our best WR, and multiple injuries to our QB, which caused him to not be able to practice at all, and you can see why we only went 9-8.

Perhaps I am misreading you, but it seems you are implying it is entirely up to Trevor to get this team over the hump.  Statements like, "I am hoping that this is the year Trevor gets the Jags over the hump..." That's what I disagree with.  It's not up to Trevor to get us over the hump.  It's up to Trent Baalke.
