Taylor is more akin to Sammy Watkins in that he's overpaid, but the market for the position was stout in FA. Both guys were signed on projections that didn't materialize to the extent hoped. And both guys were good, important players for the team.
When Clark wasn't on the field, the team wasn't noticeably worse. If you took Taylor off this OL, as bad as things are at the moment, they'd be exponentially worse without him.
It's not a close comparison at all.

What's a good metric with which to judge Taylor's performance relative to his pay? I'd also like to see this compared to RT's exclusively, rather than a list that includes LT's who have a substantially higher average contract value.
I know his pass blocking has been average, but I'd also be curious to see his impact on stalled drives, missed points, lost yards, etc... due to penalties.
Is it EPA?
