Jason Taylor as a Redskin?
I wrote that as a question because some things in life just seem funny. Emmitt as a Cardinal seemed funny. When Montana wore the Chiefs jersey that was funny. Favre leaving Green Bay would be funny. Jason Taylor as a Redskin doesn’t quite seem to fit.
As a die hard Cub fan I have to bear watching Jim Edmonds play for us this year. It isn’t easy because the guy just isn’t a Cub. He’s a Cardinal disguised as a Cub. I keep waiting for him to have a chance to make a routine catch to end a game and have him drop it on purpose and then have some evil laugh afterward while pointing at all his teammates and cackling while they walk off the field dejected. I can’t help it because the guy just isn’t a Cub. Jason Taylor isn’t a Redskin.
I think this is a great trade for the Redskins even if they have the guy for only a year or two. Taylor is a hall of fame player who has been one of the best pass rushers in football over the past decade and all they gave up were two picks. Picks in football are gold and I get that but the chances of the Dolphins blowing the draft picks are very high and I don’t care if Parcells is picking or not. Some teams just seem to screw things up and the Dolphins have been on a roll lately.
Taylor has to be happy about the deal because Miami is going to stink again but is WAshington any better? I still see them as a 4th place team in their division. Dallas, Philly, Giants are all better on paper and have better quarterbacks and proven coaches. Jim Zorn is coaching his first team and Jason Campbell still isn’t a proven NFL player. Taylor helps an already good defense but I still see them finishing in 4th place.
Right now I’m just trying to get my head around what the Jason Taylor McFarlane toy will look like. Maybe they’ll make a ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Taylor instead.
