Would You Give A 3rd Rounder For Jason Taylor?

nah, i'm not belichick, i'll talk.

i don't buy the "kubiak will have plenty of 3rd rounds in his tenure" or the "well we didn't have a 2nd and it was fine" bits. neither is a reason to give up a 3rd for a 33 year old, 11 year vet who has one foot out the door to his hollywood interests but may come back to play for a SUPER BOWL CONTENDER being that he is the "superstar vet looking for one last chance on a team that is one player away" type. besides, not having a 2nd round the last two years has been brutality on wheels -and i'm just a fan- imagine these guys straining over it for months and months.

probably not the hell it used to be, but he would bring some hellraising defense.

the locker-room leadership thing has always been a mystery to me. some people think it's important while others not so much. i think it's important, but i also believe it has more to do with who is setting the tone for the locker room. maybe it is the players, but i look at how this team is turning around and i say it's kubiak. but nobody really knows so...whatev.

i see the good in taylor man, i really do. great guy, consumate professional, all-pro player, hellraiser, emotional leader but i look at what is being given up and i just think it's too much to get him. not that any of this matters, because i don't think parcells will let him go anywhere.

Sounds like we basically have a difference of opinion on how well and how long JT's going to play. I think he's got at least a couple of years of high-level playing (with a change of scenery anyway). I think there's still a small chance of him being back with the Dolphins, but I think he'll be a man on a mission if he's traded or cut.

And trust me, in two/three years if we can look at Kubiak's list of 3rd round picks and find as few "busts" as you clearly believe we will, I'll be happier than you could know.
