Shouldn't Sean Taylor.............

This list is the most feared tackler not hitter, right?

I don't want to start another Lavar theme, but for a couple of years he was a pretty fierce hitter as well. Not tackler, hitter, and there is a difference. ST wasn't the best tackler in the world, he was a hitter.

Possible it was an old show, if not it's a travesty.I'm not saying it's a travesty, but I just hope people can enjoy such a rare talent for years to come.

Look at Bo Jackson. Had he kept playing, he would have set the rushing record so high that Emmitt Smith would have had to play 25 years to break it. These two guys, along with players like Barry Sanders, Jim Brown, Deion Sanders, a well coached Mike Vick and etc., all are cut from a different talent cloth.

ST wasn't the best tackler in the world, he was a hitter.Well, let me just say this. Do you remember a couple of years ago in Dallas when late in the fourth quarter, when the Cowboys needed a first down to keep an

important drive going and it was either Bledsoe or Testeverde that threw that pass to #84 Patrick Crayton. It look like he caught it, then all of a sudden, you see this burgundy blurr come flying into the screen and WHAM!

the ball goes flying back the opposite way. That was the hardest hit that I could remember seeing in years, if not ever. Craytons body bent like a crashdummy. I feared for his life, but he was alright.

Plus he is the only player that I have ever seen make T.O. rearrange the way he runs routes...........YA FEEL ME!!

I may be wrong, but he is the only player that I've seen knock the hell out of Marion Barber....BY HISELF! I've seen MB truck LBs.

I can only hope his spirit will be with us this season... and we'll feel it many times during many games... :(

A lot of WRs probably wanted to while running across the middle and taking one of those hits!

This dude could have been one of those people on X-MEN! LOL!

If Sean would've got a chance to play ten more seasons, he easily would've went down as one of the best, if not the best, safety the NFL has ever seen. Even in Sean's short
3 1/2 season career he had more ferocious tackles and hits than half the people on that list, and if he went on to have a 13+ season career at the end of it I don't think anybody would even have to hesitate to tell you that Sean Taylor was the most feared player in the history of the NFL.

without a doubt he should be on the list. hes at the top of mine. the man threw his body around sideline to sideline. he was wreckless and just had that swagger that intimidated ppl in itself, as if his head busting hits werent enough. LaRon has learned a few things from sean, you can tell, that swagger and attitude is one. I like to look at LaRon as Sean's protege so to speak.

All it takes is a year of film. Any questions? Just ask any Offensive players/coaches around the league.

Shouldn't Sean Taylor be considered one of the most feared tacklers in NFL history?

I was watching the top ten most feared tacklers on the NFL Network and they had some pretty hard hitters on that list. Now the way I see it, Taylor should be on that list. A short career may keep you out of the HOF, but it damn sure doesn't keep you from being feared.

I just don't think that the NFL celebrates his extraordinary talent, if only in NFL films. When I say celebrate, they don't have to talk about him every game, but I think NFL films should at least show some of the unhuman like plays he did make in his short time here.

What better way to show kids in the future the diamond in the rough that the NFL once had. I don't think that people really know how big, strong and fast that this guy was. AND HE WAS STILL LEARNING!

The only way to see a safety like that was to create him on Madden. If talent was a gemstone, Taylor's would surely be on display at a heavily guarded museum for all to see.

We may be old, the next time we see a player like that come along again.

He should be on that list!


No ,the list is long and can be held to different opinions.

Harry Carson,Mike Singeltary ,Mike Curtis ar just a couple that I think are better than John Lynch and a few others.That in no way diminishs how good ST was ,but he was young and just did not play long enough,he has not earned the accolades some fans want to give him.
