I don't want to shit on Taylor. Taylor, to me, is Josh Jacobs but better. And had he returned for his senior season he'd have rewritten the NCAA record books (after setting them on fire and pissing on the ashes - he'd have
wrecked records). The only guy to do anything approaching what Taylor did in 3 seasons is Herschel Walker and Walker was
1,000 yards behind him.
Taylor's college career was remarkable.
But he just wasn't the right fit here. I don't understand why that's so difficult for a couple of people to understand. Had we gone a different route in round 1 and Taylor were still there somehow in round 2, I'd have absolutely grabbed him and found a way to incorporate his strengths into the offense (he'd probably end up a better version of what we have in Williams; we know it can be done).
But being a great player doesn't mean he'd have been the best player here.
