I pulled season and game stats off of NFL.com:
I remembered JT getting more results at the end of the season, but I did not recall how completely he disappeared early on. I was also suprised at how few multi-sack games he had. I don't have all these games to watch, but the theory has been that a good portion of Wale's success has been the other team's willingness to key on Taylor. The stats below seem to suggest that towards the end of the season opponents started taking Wale more seriously and that allowed JT to catch up.
For those that may have forgotten, JT's TD vs Dallas was on a Wale FF.
I still think JT is the more 'complete' player (and he's got the track record to prove it, IMO) but it would be great to see them line up together again!
