I'm sure to some extent they're saying "Why not the same for Marquise Hill?" But, as cold as this may sound, a drowning accident in the offseason is not perceived the same as being murdered during the season. Not because it's less important or significant. But because of the timing of it. The NFL is at the forefront of sports news in the fall (compared to the spring time) and so an in-season death is just going to be perceived as more impactful, and especially when it's a sudden and senseless death like Sean Taylor's.
