Taylor

Skins faithful seem to make Taylor out to be a football god, which he isn't. To be honest he is good at best and far from amazing.

He is no football god. I have seen Taylor make some big time mistakes this year, but he is pretty amazing. He has amazing game speed and he makes the wide receivers afraid to run routes over the middle.

Also, have you seen him force a fumble. He has a special type of awareness where he can make a solid tackle, plus rip out the ball at the same time. I have witnessed that at least twice this season.

Finally, I have seen him cover Randy Moss, TO, Jeremy Shockey, and various others in one-on-one situations and hold his own. In fact, I distinctly remember him completely jumping OVER Jeremy Shockey to break up a pass. He also tackled Randy Moss, who was bobbling a ball in the air, and never took his eyes off the ball. Taylor made a great tackle while watching and batting the ball away.

I guess we have different take on what constitutes amazing. If you look at all the mistakes he makes he falls short of amazing. I mean, Roy Williams of the Cowboys makes plays quite a bit and I don't hear anyone in here calling him amazing.

Barry Sanders is amazing, Taylor is not...not yet anyways
