I loved Sean and am still grieving his loss, but...

Slow down.

Given time in this league, I have no doubt Taylor would be in the Hall of Fame. The same could be said for Bo Jackson, who was Adrian Peterson/Reggie Bush/LaDanian Tomlinson all stacked up into one badass. Who broke his hip. And stopped playing. And didn't impact the game for long enough to live up to his potential.

Clemente is an argument for shortening the wait, but Clemente was definitely in, he had 3000 hits. Taylor was in his fourth year, and wouldn't have made the Pro Bowl in any of his first three years except for injuries (that's not to say he didn't deserve it, it just didn't happen).
