Why Is Taylor's Death So Troubling To Us?

[Paintrain]

I think because he was such a mystery to us, due to his mistrust of the press, we had a different level of fascination with him that we don't have with some other players but we knew on Sunday he was going to show up to blow up.. We identified with his passion for the game, reveled in his ability and were awed by his play.. Since he was our best defender, arguably overall player, it's a huge loss on so many fronts. We saw him as still a shadow of what we were going to see him become. It's like we had our futures robbed from us as well..

Not to be insensitive and nothing personal to this player, but if this happened to say Lorenzo Alexander or Marcus Mason, it would still be as tragic but wouldn't reverberate so much.
