I have noticed in the last few weeks that there has been a lot of love being dished out for former dolphins around the league. Chambers for one getting a lot of the attention obviously cuz we r playing the Chargers. But i do see a good amount being sent Zack's way too. Now I am in total agreement for both and feel both are very deserving of the any praise they get from phin fans as both contributed 100% all the time when they were here. Chambers is one of my favorite phins and well Zach is Zach and one of the best to EVER wear a phins uniform. (Ya i know there are quite a few but Zach is up there with the best IMO and i doubt that n e one is trying to argue this point.)
Anyhow my point is that I have noticed that since Jason Taylor has left, its like he is completely forgotten about. I have to say at first i did feel sorry for JT a bit (B4 the trade), he had given his all every single time he took the field and felt he deserved a ring (like Zach). I had hoped he would sign with a contender and get a shot. He was a leader of this team for a long time and a true competitor. But since his trade it seems that he has been throw in the rear view and no one really seems to mind or care if he succeeds or not. I think a lot of this is due to his stupid shenanigans in the offseason and i think at this point most could agree that he wanted to leave just didn't have the balls like Zach (who straight up asked for a release cuz he knew that he didn't want to spend his final years on a rebuilding team) to tell the Big Tuna. He did tell BP to trade him if he could (although he made is sound like he still wanted to stay here but the truth seems far from that)
I doubt that any person in the organization (owner, coaches, players or fans) would have found it offensive or thought of him a as a traitor seeing that we all knew it was rebuilding time and his time playing is/was running out soon. At this point I'm glad we didn't just cut him cuz we got a nice 2nd rounder out of it (seems like its probably gonna be a top half pick too :up: ) and it looks like his knee is setting him up for a retirement season.
A huge part of me wants Dallas to go to the SB just for Zachs sake (Provided that the Fins aren't there that is...GO PHINS!). But there is not a single part of me that cares whether or not JT gets one or even a shot at it like I do for Zach. His selfishness in the offseason (although an almost non existent characteristic of JT throughout his time here) seems to have turned a lot of people off one could say.
But do you fans feel like his antics throughout the offseason changed your views about JT?
