For the people who are mad at Taylor. What did he ever do to us besides play through two potential season ending injuries? Are you the same people who criticized his lack of production even though he was hurt and not a true 4-3 end? Moving him to Strongside backer wouldn't have worked either. It was obvious that he was not going to live up to his contract here.

For the people who wonder why he would go back and play for a lower salary you have underestimated his pride. We aren't talking about Dana Stubblefield. This guy is a warrior and doesn't want the last memory of him being hurt and misused.

It was best for all parties that he moved on. I wish him luck. Personally, I think he took a lot of unfair criticism.

Seemed like he just didn't care, didn't wanna be here, and hell maybe he didn't, but he wanted a trade too. I commend him on playing where he wants for lesser money though, he's gotten what he needs money-wise from the game. His interviews and stuff just made it seem like he didn't care and had a sour attitude towards playing here.

My problem with Taylor is that since the beginning (as it appears now) he didn't want to come here. If he was so "loyal" to the Dolphins, he should've sucked it up and stay with the Dolphins. The Redskins didn't want to re-structure his salary and were willing to pay him 8 mil, even after the terrible season he had due to injuries, yet he still cried b/c the team wanted him to show up for camp.

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 read every post on Jason Taylor to the Dolphins. Look we signed him because we needed a pass rusher and we had the training camp injuries to our DE's. The thing is JT is not big enough to line up in a 4-3 DE position. I'm sure his preseason injury did not help his cause since he did little off season training due to his apperance on Dancing with the Stars. Will watching Taylor during the season he was getting blocked by a TE at times and he still could not get pressure. He played hurt and tried his best but it just wasn't a productive season for him. He did us a favor by refusing to show up at off season work-outs cause he even said he wasn't worth 8million dollars.

Let hope we learn not to panic when a player is lost for the season lets have confidence that his backup can get the job done. Thats why they have backups right?

Well it was obvious that he didn't want to be here and they weren't using him correctly. So he should have stayed for another year? He did us a favor for leaving. You can't criticize him for coming here and then leaving when the situation was obviously a bad one. I think that both sides realized this. Washington added this crap about a workout bonus to make themselves look better. If anyone truly believes that was the reason he left then I have a great deal on some "partial view" seats for you...

The FO tried to put a round peg in a square hole. They also paid 8 million to do it. Shame on them for not researching further and for giving up so much for a guy who probably was going to be dropped.

I cannot blame anyone for trying any work environment for 1 year for 8 million. It isn't Taylor's fault the FO pissed away two more draft picks to sign him.

Fine fine, f the FO, shame on them for pissing away 2 draft picks on a player who in the end wasn't "happy" and gave up 8 mil to go back to Miami. Very noble, blah blah blah.

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.

Actually, a lot of people have been saying that we got schooled by Parcells, and well I feel that Jason Taylor got schooled by Parcells as well. He complained about the treatment he got from Parcells, got shipped to Washington where he had an injury-ridden season and was not happy. And now he returns with his tail between his legs for less money. So in the end, Parcells showed him up.

So how do you know I don't like JC so much you had to respond? It sounded personal. Usually people don't say things like you did unless they don't like the messenger. Not the message.

Well this pretty much says it...

Look in regards to the QB issue, this has been discussed to death, and a great majority of those discussions typically include some person who makes a mindless anti-Campbell rant with no type of explanation. Personally I think it is annoying and people should really drop it until the season begins.

As far as Matty, well this is his website, so I'm sure he has seen these tired arguments a 1000 times more than I have.

Look. He said I was anti JC all the way. How does my comment deserve that response? He knows me apparently and was trying to dig on me for just stating my opinion.. Read the entire quote before trying to defend the administrator for brownie points. Plus I wasn't arguing anything about JC. Go argue with someone else.
