ClintonINFORSIX26 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 You cant be mad at this trade. It became an extremely pressing need as of today. I mean this guy has been as consistent as anyone could be. Least we didnt part ways with our 1st rounder next year. I, for one couldnt be happier!

rincewind Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Can't believe people are complaining about this deal - I absolutely love it. The 6th round pick is no big deal and the 2nd rounder isn't necessarily a winner - we know we're going to get 2 or 3 great years out of Taylor. He is quite possibly still the best DE in the league. I love this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKM311 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Not happy about this deal. I'd rather have a 2nd rounder.If we were on the verge of a championship, then okay. But we're not. We have a ton of questions, most notably at QB. Would any of you trade Devin Thomas and Brooks Durant for Jason Taylor? ..... No, but I would trade Taylor Jacobs and Dallas Sartz. See how it goes? You don't know what will happen in the draft. So for, I BELIEVE, 2 years of a DE who was the Def MVP only 2 years ago and has kept his body in immaculate condition, I would say YES!

Thinking Skins Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Would you please elaborate? Because, we kept all our draft picks this year, didn't splurge in free agency prior to the draft, traded down for more picks in the second, freed up 9million of cap space and used that to address a need for this years team?Yeah, they ain't learned **** have they It amazes me that the large majority of you hate everything done regarding this team. It will never end will it? They panicked when they didn't have to. Then they overpaid for a guy they didn't need. Thats a stupid FO to me. I thought they were getting smarter by not splurging in FA and by actually using the draft this year, and by hiring a coach with something to prove, but now I've got to wonder if the spectators are right and Danny boy just can't keep his checkbook in his pocket.

We have a ton of questions, most notably at QB. Would any of you trade Devin Thomas and Brooks Durant for Jason Taylor? ..... Considering that we have Thomas and Brooks on the roster, I'd say yes. DE has been the single greatest weakness on this team for years. Now that we have Campbell learning the offense, Portis healthy and all of the WR's and TE's we need, there really are only a few positions we need to draft next year; DE, CB, OL and LB. This also depends on if Taylor honors his contract through the 2010 season, which I'm inclined to believe he will now that he no longer is in a spitting match with Parcells.

AKM311 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 How about trading Taylor Jacobs and Jim Molinaro instead lol :cool:... LOL! Sorry I responded to that before I read your post. Exact same thinking I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimster Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 But hey, I guess building a team the old fashioned way is unheard of nowadays. we can't use that draft pick until next year. We just had 2 DE's lost for the season on the first day of camp. We need help now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thinking Skins Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 You should totally be running out team cuz they don't know what the **** they're doing Hey, I'll go apply for the job first thing tomorrow morning.

Guest sith lord Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Can't believe people are complaining about this deal - I absolutely love it.

I love this deal. We could trade for Brett Farve for a 6th rounder and some would still complain. This was a deal we had to make since Daniels is done for the year. We just upgraded big time if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will never end will it? Couple of years ago we gave up a 3 and 4 for a one year rental of a back who we did not even PLAN to use as a starter to protect us against an injury that had not yet occurred. This year, we give up a 2 and 6 to get a guy who almost certainly will be a starter this year to mitigate the damage of an injury that has occurred. Yes, I would have rather kept the picks but injury changes the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvkeeper19 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 He's 33 years old... two picks for a guy who gives us maybe 2-3 years of decent play? I dunno about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt3d Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Terrible panic move ... Skin fans should be embarrased ... I am. And you also have tagged Colt Brennan as the QB of the future, and have fallen short of calling him a Hall of Famer. Regardless, it is a panic move, but its better than the panic moves we've done in the past. This actually makes our team better, it fills a need.

SonnyandSam Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 How about trading Taylor Jacobs and Jim Molinaro instead lol :cool:... Excellent comeback....you beat me to it. 2nd round picks are 50-50 and a 6th round pick is a needle in the haystack. Taylor is a know quantity and All Pro caliber DE. This is a good deal if he plays 2-4 more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like that we only have a 1st and 3rd next year in the first four rounds, though...hopefully the Skins will do well this season, and won't be in need of keeping their 1st rounder and trade it back like they did this year. If we can trade that 1st rounder for multiple picks, I won't be too upset lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsMaster88 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 He's 33 years old... two picks for a guy who gives us maybe 2-3 years of decent play? I dunno about this. Turns 34 before the start of the season. Also, same measureables as Andre Carter. While Jason Taylor is HOF material, he won't remain productive for much longer. I view this as an overreact move and just hope it turns out better than the other former great players we got in Bruce Smith and Deion Sanders.

clskinsfan Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I guess this proves that our FO hasn't learned too much after all. :doh: Like they ahd a choice? We lost our stater and one of his backups on the first day of training camp. This improves our team tremendously. Who are offenses gonna double team Taylor or Carter. This arguably gives us one of the best DE tandems in the NFL. People forget this guy was A defensive MVP 2 Frikin years ago. he is simply a beast.
