Doubtful. Because Taylor would have been scoring from the red zone.

100%, Trevor has the potential but he hasn't past Brunell as this franchises best QB.  He has to heal up and start playing better

Mark also had the opportunity to sit and learn for two years in Green Bay before becoming a full time starter in year three of his career. It's kind of pointless though comparing these two guys.

Mark entered the NFL in 1993. That was a completely different era of football then, which is why I find Mark's career or earlier start in Jacksonville impressive. Defenders could still play defense in the 1990's, running the football was still considered the best way to execute in the NFL and only a handful of receivers were household names. 

They all excelled and did some pretty remarkable things back then. This team is somewhat similar, in a sense that, they're not dominating teams, yet, but, they were showing signs of moving up in the right direction.

9 - 7
11 - 5
11 - 5
14 - 2

This team is 9 - 8 and 8 - 7 for the time being. Different situations, different eras, but, the up's and down's are there, the learning curve is still there, the only difference is the coaching situations respectively and the way the game is played today. I say that last part, but, funny enough, the best teams in the NFL right now are good at running it at anybody. 

We have to get that figured out for Lawrence's sake.
