This is a good idea one several fronts. With a rookie Qb, they still must account for Taylor, so the offense isnt 2 dimensional. Play action would be better with taylor than anyone else on the roster, remember what Edge and Manning created with the stretch play. And the franchise tag is a chunk of cash up front, its not an anchor down the road if taylor gets hurt.

Having an honest to God running threat would make it easier on a rookie Qb.
