Jonathan Taylor’s homecoming game in Wisconsin (where he played college ball) was a dominant showing. His day on the ground proved that he can be, and still is, the talented back that he was prior to injury and contract disputes. Still, unfortunately, the only discourse surrounding him following the Colts’ loss was of his usage, or lack thereof, during the latter half of the game.
It’s a fair argument from both sides. Jonathan Taylor’s biggest crux since he entered the league has been threefold: ball security, pass protection, and receiving prowess. It’s been long established that Taylor’s game is a weakness in these areas, and his inability to develop as a pass catcher, something modern-day backs are focusing more and more on as the game evolves, has shown to be more negatively impacting than it has on a positive note.
