I said this in another thread. I think a lot of the voters will look at some things you can't quantify when considering ST. First of all, NFC D. Player of the Week will help...and to date, he is the team's leading tackler.

But here's the real point I'm trying to make here, I'm willing to bet, and I don't have a stat on this...but I'm willing to bet Sean Taylor has more forced fumbles this year than any safety in either conferance. Also, consider both the Dallas game and Carolina, he single handedly changed the game in the waning minutes, albeit with some help.

His on field presence can't always be captured with stats, and as far as him having a horrible year, well you never know, the voters may chalk that up to the defensive struggles as a whole and not indicative of Taylor's play as an individual. They have certainly done it with Vick year after year and some others.

Let's just wait over the next 5 games and watch this unfold.
