Jason Taylor Visiting with the Jets

[Philly Fin Fan]

And who else is tired of Bill Parcells not talking to the press or fans?

What difference does it matter? He isn't the GM. He's the GM's boss. He said he wasn't going to be the voice of the organization.

If you believe that then i have a bridge in the keys to sell you. Bill Parcells fingerprints are on every move the dolphins make. If this regime fails ALL the blame will go on Parcells. He picked the GM and the coach.

I can also tell you this if Dez Bryant is one the board at 12 and the dolphins pass the fans will tell your it's because parcells dosen't like diva WR's or one's with character issues. The fans are starting to become more and more impatient with this regime, especially with the jets trying to improve at any cost.

I know that Parcell's fingerprints are all over the organization, but its not the image he wants to give. My point was that he said from the beginning he wouldn't be the voice. He's running it all behind the scenes, but in the public eye, he doesn't want to talk to the media, etc (in order to give the illusion that he's not making the decisions).

Thanks for clarifying Philly's point that Parcells is not the GM, he is the GM's boss.

Whether he's GM or not, my point is if this regime fails the blame will fall on parcells.

1st of all....JT WAS contacted by miami....saying miami would make a decision about taylor, depending on how the draft goes


second of all....regardless of how great a player is, and how long they've been with the team...it's still a business....miami is NOT "one player away" from a super bowl....JT wants a  shot at a ring....so they'll probably part ways.....sucks dude, don't bash the decision making about this one

Yes, JT was contacted by the front office... A COUPLE MONTHS late. I'm not saying they should re-sign him at any cost (or even at all) -- that's simply not the point -- but they should have reached out to him IMMEDIATELY and let him know what the deal was. Taylor hasn't earned a life-long big-money contract with the Dolphins, and I don't think anyone is saying he has, but he HAS earned the right to be treated fairly by the team and not left dangling for months without word.

[Brian Fein]

Why is the team getting shit on here?  If JT was so thrilled about wanting to come back to the Dolphins and retire with the team, he'd sit patiently and wait until after the draft.  Visiting other team, especially the Jets, is a slap in the face to the team, and likely an attempt to force the team's hand.  There are 30 other teams in the league he could have visited - you think the Jets are the only ones that wanted to talk to him?

It goes both ways.  JT is more interested in winning than being a Dolphin.  I say, if that's what's more important to you, then you, sir, can suck it.

[CF DolFan]

He has to weigh his options. They didn't speak to him or return calls until after a column was written about it. Now that they told him they will talk to him after the draft he has chosen to go out and find a team. It's obvious he wants to be here but if he can't he wants to be on a contender.

The team has treated him poorly at best. Business or not, it shouldn't have taken an embarrasing article for you to tell one of your greatest players in the history of your club that he may or may not be in your future plans. They don't have to overvalue him but they certainly owe it to him to not treqat him like he was Joey Porter or something.

[bsfins]

^^He's an unrestricted free agent,why do they owe him anything? I don't get that at all....

[CF DolFan]

He's meant a lot to this franchise and should be treated better than the average player. I would also like to think Don Shula would be treated better than Wanny if he were to be a part of the team or Dan Marino vs. Pennington.   

[bsfins]

^^^ That doesn't make any sense to me..It's 2010 in the NFL, not 1980..He's a player that they really aren't that interested in bringing back,(Either is about 30 other teams right now)Their job is to evaluate the 60 players that are under contract,and make the team better.. ..So the Dolphins are supposed to string him along? Tell him what? We want to get faster and younger,and you're past your prime. I feel the Dolphins don't owe Jason Taylor, anything as a player....It's not like they are saying,Sorry Jason, We're not gonna let you retire a Dolphin,He's free to sign with any other club in the NFL....

the jets are trying to sell all those psl's in the new stadium that folks weren't buying.

what a joke this jason taylor is man. multi-million dollar athlete crying that "no one loves me". maybe that's why this team never won shit when he was their leader in his prime. funny how this team played together better the minute he left his crying ass to the redskins.

u know what man, here is another former fan of yours who says you can freaking suck it too.

I haven't heard JT complain. Have you?

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

I am really hoping Taylor signs with the Jets.  The animosity towards this signing from Dolphin fans doesn't come close to the absolute disgust Jets fans have with the idea of having a player they consider an absolute douche on their team. 

Now if there was just some way this could rile up the folks in Buffalo...life would be totally grand.
