Taylor - What is up with this moron?

THE GUY IS A ROOKIE!!!

That's all we need to know. He's going to adjust sooner or later, but it takes time. Guys we need to be a little more patient with this kid. He's made some mistakes, but at least he hasn't held out during camp like Winslow. He's got the best coaching staff to guide and support him....not to mention the players ( Portis, Arrington two pro bowlers ) on his side. He is a freaking kid. Let him learn from his mistakes.

Re: Joe Crisp

As usual, you have taken all the comments and made sense of them. You base your comments on fact. Thank you for your voice of reason, once again.

I'm not really worried about his agents so much as the fact that Len P. (while I consider him an asshole and find him hard to believe) reported that Sean Taylor has looked altogether bad. That worries me. I don't care that he fires agents and I thought he might be upset about his deal when other teams went outside of their damn minds for Fitzgerald and Manning. Anyway, he plays safety and he got a great deal for a safety. I just hope he ends up starting for the Skins because I don't think he was selected fifth overall to back up Andre Lott for his first season.

This is pretty hard to understand. First you say Len P. is an a-hole and not believable, then you say you are WORRIED because Len P. says Taylor has looked bad. Well, everything else I've seen in print says he has looked damn good. Think about what you are saying here. Why would a statement by an unbelievable guy, that is in conflict with all other observers, make you worry??

All of the other criticism about Taylor seems to be about his Off-The-Field issues, and has been ridiculously overblown.

Just wondering...

Maybe that day that Sean Taylor missed at the NFL Rookie Seminar was the day they explained how guys should choose their agents...? ;)

:lol:

man, check out this article ripping Taylor a new one, I'm starting to see why this kid has such a dislike for the media. With crap like this, do they expect him to ever talk?

Coming from a high profile college you'd think he'd be used to the media and pressure...but I guess the NFL is different

what media did he have to get used to in miami. ALl the media said was that teh opposing team would be stupid to even consider passing the ball. Thats literally how good he was last year. Whenever I saw a ball thrown, I just knew that he would alteast bat it down or make the tackle. He was always around the ball. Now hes not getting everything to go his way for the first time and he doesnt like it. I just hope he performs. I dont care if he wants money because he is so good. Portis was due to make what, a million this year. But he definitly played well enough to get the big pay check. lets hope Taylor does the same.

With the kind (and AMOUNT) of pure crap they are writing about him, I don't think ANYONE gets "used" to it. Some people hide it better than others, but even mild cuts in the media are very painful to virtually everyone. This stuff is mostly uncalled for. It is outrageous that they are slamming this kid so hard. They are supposed to be writing about SPORTS, not a gossip column!!! Makes me want to support him more than ever. Those elite media pr*cks like Boswell are just spewing hatred because they can't stand it that he won't talk to them. I hope he never does talk to THAT a-hole.

The reason I bought into what Len P was saying is because I hadn't heard much else from Redskins camp. Lenny was saying that Taylor couldn't make a play, I was wondering if that was the case. I may have jumped to some conclusions before that post and since reading afterward can admit that it wasn't really what I had intended to say. I was more looking for an update on how Sean Taylor was doing, if he was really playing poorly and if he was I would have been a little concerned then.
