I never criticized his lack of production. Like I said, if he was loyal to Miami he should've stayed there. If not, he should've sucked it up, (get paid 8 mil, poor guy), and make it to training camp (which he was being paid for!)
If he was such a warrior, he should've handled Parcells ignoring him. And if was such a "character" guy, maybe he should've done what people always criticize players for not doing, which is to fulfill his contract.
People here complaint SO much about the FO, yet in my eyes, here's a player that the front office paid a lot of for, had the misfortune of having a plagued-riden year, and he didn't work out because he wasn't happy. Please, complain about getting a bust like Archuleta or a nut-case like Brandon Lloyd. I wanted Jason Taylor here this year, because I thought he had it in him to have a rebound this year when healthy. Well turns out he wasn't happy and he was cut. So screw him.
Oh yeah, and the next person that mentions the overused line "the Redskins got schooled by Parcells", don't forget to add that Parcells also schooled Jason Taylor.

I figure you were not refering to me in the first part since I was actually defending the FO for actually attempting to fill a spot with talent that was left vacant by injuries. I presume the high lighted part did and probably not soley to me, but you can't deny it and I could use a different term if that one is irritating to you. See the Tuna did not see the need to pay someone 8.5 mill when he didn't produce the yr before and refused to partake in camp. So he trades them away. Then when JT saw the grass was not greener in DC he decides he wants out for warmer climate. Which baffles me that he would be looking into N.E. Why would JT make a comment that he wanted to go back to FL to warmer climate (which I thought maybe he means he will try to get on with Tampa or Jacksonville) then entertain offers from N.E.?
In the end the Tuna got rid of the high cost, got 1 or 2 picks out of the deal, and in the end got the same player for less money and he fits their scheme. To me that's being schooled. A lesson the front office could learn from.
