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

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!

Sean Taylor was on his way to being the most feared tackler in the history of the NFL. Period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So yes I agree with this thread completely.

Possible it was an old show, if not it's a travesty.

You won't get a lot of disagreement on this site. Personally, I think Sean is one of those players whose stature and legend will only grow with time. Kind of like Gale Sayers, who we all now forget only played a couple of seasons.

Sean had made his name known to Skins fans very quickly after he started playing. Other people where just starting to take notice unless you where a Giants, Dallas, Eagles fan or player who had to face him a couple of times a year. The other 28 teams players and fans did not really get a chance to see what we did every Sunday. Unless you watched the Pro Bowl.

Here was the list, looking over the entire history of the league I'd say it's a pretty tough list to crack for a guy who had a short career. And when Lott is only #4 you know it's a hard hitting list:

John Lynch #10
Steve Atwater #9
Jack Lambert #8
Ray Lewis #7
Jack Tatum #6
Hardy Brown #5
Ronnie Lott #4
Lawrence Taylor #3
"Night Train" Lane #2
Dick Butkus #1

don't know #5, and #8 had to be up there with Mike Vick, as far as being over rated. Taylor simply didnt play long enough. everyone on that list had nice, long careers

I agree with someone else that Sean's legend will grow with time, but more so among Redskins fans. I think he will ultimately have his place among NFL safeties, not sure how high on the list though.

As far as Lambert goes, I think he was one of the most intimidating, but not one of the hardest hitting. There's a difference. Lambert was a very intense player though.

I'm not sure R. Lewis should be on that list. Lewis is a big hitter, an elite LB, and a future HoFer, but he's not as big of a hitter as those others. ST was a bigger hitter than Lewis.

Dick Butkus #1ST was as big as these LBs but faster than anybody on that list and probably hits harder than anybody on that list.
