Ronnie who? Lawrence who? It's all about Sean Taylor. Since his rookie year I've been on his jock saying he's the best defender in the league.

Seems like Michael Smith, Mr. Patriot, agrees. Front page of espn.com

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp...&id=2546843

Number 1 defensive coordinator in the league Gregg Williams "has been in the NFL for going on two decades and says Taylor is "the best football player I've ever coached -- by far.""

hmmmm, I'll say Urlacher. He is reigning def. mvp, on the best defense.

QFT

and...

more proof.

I love Urlacher. But...no. Not even close.

Taylor's a stud. He's been a stud since he came into the league. The man's a freak of nature.

If he can keep it to one arrest a year, there is no doubt that he will be one of the best ever on the defensive side of the ball.

Your avatar is gay.

hahahaa this thread is worthless... sean taylor aint even the best defensive back in his Division

Exactly. **** the Redskins. On a related note, I hope Portis is down for at least two months.

gilbertology made the OP?


[/thread]

This is a ****ing true statement.


Terence Newman > Sean Taylor

Sam Madison will be the best corner in the NFC East.

Watch...

bestcorner Terrance Newman best allaround db Roy Williams

Funny you won't name who you *think* is the best...



Almost as funny as your political views....




Stop living in the mid-90's.

CASE CLOSED!!!

Exactly


I would put Polamalu, Ed Reed, AND Roy Williams ahead of him right now and those are just the safeties...

...says the 19 year old.


I'll remember to ask you before I form any political opinions in the future.


Further, I would like to point out that I was talking about Gilberts avatar, not yours in my OP.... as your avatar is obviously gay, and wouldn't need mentioning. It was just bad luck that you were right above me.

And further still.... Sean Taylor is an awesome safety and he can hit almost as hard as Roy Williams. But as a cover corner Newman will go down in history as the better player at that position.

ok... but taylor is a safety.

QFMT

Sean Taylor surpassed Roy Williams before last season. Terrence Newman isn't a safety. Ed Reed of course is great, but Taylor's potential surpasses his Miami brethren's, and he's five years younger. Sean Taylor will go down in history with Ronnie Lott as one of the top two safeties ever. I would say this even if I wasn't a Skins fan.
And Troy Palamalooo, he's not in the top 10, js.
Just watch Taylor this year. I'll bet anyone he starts in the Pro Bowl for the NFC(at safety of course) against anyone else's pick. If they both start, we tie.

Absolutely not. Lott is and always will be the best safety of all time.

Ray Lewis (sw)


I'll take Junior Seau (old school) or Urlacher..

yeah... but did ronnie lott or junior seau have a myspace page?

[/thread]


That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, ever... in the history of the universe

QFT

I'm a bengals fan so naturally i want the steelers to die firey deaths, and I still think that he's the best safety in the AFC, maybe even in the NFL right now.

I call BS.

definately. this is like trying to talk to KK about the chiefs.

"Well our o-Line is the best o-line in the history of football"

Grrrrrrr

i dont care who ur fav team is if you think Sean Taylor right now is the best safety in the NFL you have no clue

Joke? Polamalu is a ****ing beast. I think Sean Taylor will be a great safety, but Polamalu already is.

Exactly. Thats the case with every other defensive player/safety mentioned in this thread when comparing them to Taylor.

NO DOUBT

And Jack Tatum is #2. Then maybe Steve Atwater.



Taylor's attitude holds him back. If he approached the game like Jerry Rice, then Taylor has the talent to be the best Defensive player in the league. But he'll never approach the game that way.

and you know no nothing about football. terence newman? lol.

Sean Taylor COULD be the best defensive player in football. could be. for now it is either Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu.

Taylor's ceiling is higher than all of them.

Great game by Sean Taylor today. Yea basically cost his team the game with penalties. Best safety in the NFL no doubt

I was thinking the same thing... but I must say... that unnecessary roughness hit on the sidelines was TOTAL BS... Remember, I hate the Redskins.

Sean Taylor isn't smart enough to be the best defensive player. He's got talent, but he needs to pull back on his thuggery. I'd give it to Polamalu, although Merriman is making an early case. Honestly, until he matures, Taylor's not in my top five.

Sean Taylor would be ok if he quit costing his team games with his moronic penalties.

Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu are by far the 2 best safties in the nfl.

I'm still sticking by my convictions, best safety in the game. The second unnecesarry roughness call against the Vikings was, as people have pointed out, total bs and based solely on his reputation. In the Cowboy game he had a nasty hit on TO when the ball sailed over his head and he still popped him. He single handedly made TO scared and drop 3-4 passes. He probly even broke his finger . The Skins pass defense would be tons better if they had kept Ryan Clark instead of signing that slow, white Jason Sehorn wanna be known as Adam Archulleta.

So....best defensive player or safety?

busted! pretty soon it will be best safety on the redskins.

Troy P is the man.

Im confused is the arguement best safety, best free safety or best overall defensive player?

Best free safety I would say he is right there, Williams too.

Best safety: He again is on the list, but the list grows.

Best overall defensive player, not yet. He has yet to prove that he can be a team leader, someone who makes the players around him and not just on defense better. A leader off the field, in the locker room, etc, I am not saying he won't or can't, but he has yet to do so. So until he does, there is no comparison to the likes of Urlacher, Lewis, etc.

just my opinion

LOL




OWNED!





LOL... QFT






Roy Williams OR Terrence Newman >> Sean "I singlehandedly lose games for my team" Taylor
