Just like that. Right around the Robinson trade, the light comes on and Trevor starts going off. Just like that. 

 Whether it's the benefit of cutting malcontented dead weight, a stategy and scheme change due to different personnel, the personal maturing of a young man or everything stated I can't say, but I would call the trade a catalyst.

That is definitely a theory.  Sounds bonkers to me, personally. But OK. 

How about - just like 38 other first round quarterbacks in the Super Bowl era - the kid just needed time to acclimate to the league.

And unlike most of those others who struggled prior to acclimating (because this is the normal way it's done)  - this kid had an unprecedented stumbling block thrown at him immediately with a woefully incompetent coach his rookie year.
