The story that won't go away...because Jason Taylor will not let it

and JT is one of my favorite Fins of all-time, but it is time to go. He has about wore out his welcome with me this offseason. Lets finish the rebuilding and get what we can get for him.

I must say, with the dancing with the stars and the comments JT jas made recently I’ve lost a great deal of respect for him. I thought he was more football-minded and classy than this.

isn’t what his decision is, its that he needs to make it already. If he wants to continue his legacy making movies in hollywood and call it quits from football, fine. Go for it. I wish him all the success in the world. But let the fans, and more importantly the organization know so we can prepare for the season without you.

If he plans on continuing his legacy by busting his ass in Miami and contributing to the turnaround of this great franchise, great. That’s the best thing I can hear, but he needs to come out and say it if thats how he feels. Don’t hem and haw in a blog, call a press conference, address the world, and say “I will be a Dolphin and I will continue to play at a high level to help turn this team around.” That way, we can put all this crap behind us and get excited about watching 99 terrorize defenses for another year.

If he wants to continue playing football, but for another team, fine. Don’t have some internet journalist make veiled demands and drop hints at your desires. Don’t put off the issue until something happens. Come out and say “I have given everything for this organization, but I don’t want to go through another rebuild and would like to play for a contender this season.” Nobody who has watched you play throughout your career here will hate you, because deep down every player is in the league for one reason: a ring. Fans understand that, and most of us are already looking beyond the next couple years to when this team will be ready to compete.

All this BS is pissing everybody off. It’s disrespectful to the fans, because we’ve been through the highs and lows just like you. Don’t think for a second that 1-15 wasn’t hell on Dol-Fans, so dragging this whole issue of whether or not you will play for Miami is just extending the negative. Make your decision and allow everybody to move on one way or another in a positive direction.

It isn’t about whether JT has lost his focus and gone Hollywood on us. Lots of players have been able to play football and live a high-profile life. After playing football for so many years, I have no doubt that JT will be ready and focused when he’s on the field again.

I think this is more about Taylor being sick of losing, sick of a new coach every year and looking at a team that is at least three years from being a legitimate contender. He doesn’t have that long.

Selfishly, I’d like him to stay in Miami. But if he went someplace like Philadelphia, it would help put them over the top and I’d love to see him in the playoffs and maybe the Super Bowl. If we get Lito out of the deal, everyone should be happy.

Has this up this week.

MIAMI WASN’T TRADING JASON TAYLOR FOR A TWO. From Scott, of Springfield, Pa.: “I was hoping you could shed some light on a part of the draft that just doesn’t make sense. Why are teams unwilling to trade their first-round or even second-round picks for proven talent? Case in point: Jacksonville probably could have gotten Jason Taylor for a second-round pick and surely for a first-round pick. Instead of taking this approach for winning now, they trade up and select Derrick Harvey then get Quentin Groves in the second round. Instead of those two players they could have had Taylor and their choice of any of the receivers at their spot in the first round, or traded down and still gotten one of those wide receivers.”

Whoa, Scott. Bill Parcells was not trading Taylor for a low second-round pick; I doubt he was trading Taylor for the 26th pick in the draft, which Jacksonville held before trading it for Harvey. Plus, Jacksonville did not want solely a short-timer like Taylor. Harvey fills their need for a young pass-rusher Jack Del Rio has never had with the Jags. Your larger point is a good one. I’d like to see teams trade for veteran solutions using high draft choices, the way the Saints tried to with the Giants for Jeremy Shockey.

Sounds like Parcells wants Taylor to stay. End of story.

I say lets go ahead and wish JT luck and not worry about whether the best player on the team can dance and play football. He can. He will. if he retires then so be it. Let’s hope Quentin Moses fills into his upside.

For the King thing.

For me JT can go a dance with the Wolf or Lions or sharks, i really don’t care anymore. He can dump his legacy in a toilet and i don’t care. If can to Miami and play great if he isn’t , that is great too. F* him, his anthics and his game of words/comments. BP is been pay big money to answer any question. Now the BIG question is on. Can we move foward without JT on the line-up THIS year?, Billy!! you are in the hot seat of the shepo beer LOL

I meant. If JT came to Miami and play, that is great, if he isn’t, that is great too.
Sorry for the spelling, but this news are more than upseting me, i’m almost mad at myself, for been such a follower of the Dolphins and them icons of our franchise star acting like as** le
