Does anyone else get the since that Sean Taylor is better described as being Warren Sapp in a safety's body? Now either he got a great education at UM and knows what he is doing (highly doubtful) or he spent 90% of his days sitting on a park bench half baked (highly probable).
I don't know fellas, but he is quickly becoming the problem child of the NFL. Switching agents, firing people, total disregard for the NFL as a whole.
He is starting to worry me! Anyone else feel this way? :(

No, I don't feel that way at all. How is switching agents criteria for being a problem child? Now, if he was doing the kind of stuff that Darrell Russell has done, I would have a different view of him, but until then, I see him as a quiet guy who showed up for camp on time (gotta give him a ton of credit for that), both pluses in my book. I think that people are trying to make too much out of nothing.

The only ones he is creating a problem for are his agents (and maybe himself). He came in on time, got back on the field ASAP after twisting his knee, signs autographs, has not done anything negative toward the team. What is your problem with him??? He does need to mature a bit, but that has not hurt the team as far as I can tell. Maybe you should stop reading all the negative articles about him. Remember, guys like that jerk Boswell in the WP are pissed because he won't talk to them after their much earlier negative articles. Screw them. Be a fan. If he screw the team over somehow, THEN get on his case.

Of course I would feel different about it, but he didn't hire the Postons. That would change the whole situation completely and has no bearing on his current status.
It's like me saying I don't like you because you could have chosen to be a Cowboys fan.
Total disregard for the NFL? Problem child?
How?
Last time I checked he's in camp and practicing. His off the field issues have been very minor in comparison to others. QC snorting coke, Randy McMichael beating down his pregnant wife, etc. Taylor is a blip on the radar compared to these other guys.

lol, Matt & I agree for once!
I would go so far as to say that his off the field problems aren't even that. They're personal matters at best. He showed up to camp on time, gives his all on the field, and seems to be a team player. What more could you ask for? Yeah, he missed the rookie symposium - big deal, I don't see where he's a worse person or player for it. So what if he didn't have an agent for 3 months - he did get to camp on time. So what if he fired his old agent - he's in camp under contract and the new agent (rumored to be Rosenhaus) is one that gets along with Dan Snyder. I really can't seem to fabricate any downsides to this guy like other people can.
Yeah I really think we're all jumping the gun on Taylor.
I think we've all been a bit guilty of it at some point this offseason. But when you take a step back and look at the big picture, things really aren't as bad as they could be.
Taylor has had an "odd" beginning to his career here, but to say he's a problem child is really a stretch.

At least he *is* signed... unlike another Miami player I could mention....

Thank goodness. I so glad we are not dealing with that pinhead.
