WTF? A Dolphin player getting their respect?

That article has to be wrong!

That is simply amazing, they got something right! Even the Fin fans who haven't been so pleased with him recently have to admit he belongs at the top.

Honestly surprised that it wouldn't go to Strahan or Ray Lewis.

Not calling right or wrong....but that's what I would have expected.

I wouldn't go that far guys... Remember this is amongst active players only.

Even Reed.. he was rated 12th I think. He should be rated better than that

I was surprised to see Taylor above Lewis. I think Taylor should be a first ballot Hall of Famer, but let's be realistic here: he's got an uphill battle to Canton. Lewis in an unquestioned first ballot HOFer. Taylor's got to wait for Richard Dent, Charles Haley, etc. to get in.

More surprising than Taylor over Lewis is Urlacher and Brooks over Zach.

They cant even stand at either of the Jets boards, he's the laughing stock over at ganggreen. Don't waste your time taking him seriously.

Probably because he's very objective in his opinions unlike most NFL fans who can't see beyond their rose colored glasses. Junc provides a lot of good insight here.

I dont think so. Taylor is well respected all around. This also helps to prove that.

he is by far the most objective non dolphin fan to post on here. backs up everything he says with stats. he's definitely not a laughing stock on finheaven.
