Jason Taylor made his first media appearance in New York today and made friends quickly...
This is kinda sad, Though I doubt I'd be this generous before a Dolphins Jest game...

He can be their friend, I honestly wouldnt want him to be my friend anymore. You're not a Dolphin, you're a Jet, and that means I pretty much hate you.

Fine excuse him for leaving Miami to the team he's stated over and over he despises for money.
But to go there and then bow down to the fans that you know he cannot stand and grovel for acceptance from them?
That shows a distinct lack of Cajones. -
I said it before, he may want to keep playing now, he will regret ending his career as a Jet.

I see a lot whine in this thread. Would you like some cheese to go with it? Swiss or provologne?

Just discussing JT's press conference as we all have a right to do.
You can now go to bed dressed in nothing but your JT jersey.
Sweet dreams.DolfanJake and resnor like this. -
B). What did you expect him to do? If Bart Scott actually came over from the Jets to us tomorrow and he did the same thing, most of our fans would eat it all up. -
now everyone is pissed
It wasn't really that tough to see the jt situation from a mile away. :wink2:Thunderbolt89 likes this. -

I, as a Jets fan, welcome Jason Taylor with open arms.

Jason Taylor has arrived in NYC and this is his reception from NYC's media.
Odd thing is, even when he was on DWTS it was more chatted about than used as something for ridicule, heck Ronnie B put up a "twinkle toes" sign on his locker.
Up in NY/NJ, things are very very different. -

The last time JT left we had a good winning season.
Funny that I have once again the feeling that we'll have the same kind of winning season.DolfanJake, DOLPHAN1 and TNphinfan like this. -

but he seems wrong in his leaving timing again. If Parcells nails a couple of good defensive picks and we're set for a strong push. -
I won't be chasing jt's career :lol: -

Dolphins didn't want him, but wouldn't tell him so.
He had no other offers besides the Jets.
What was he supposed to do?
I don't fault Jason Taylor for not allowing Bill Parcells, Jeff Ireland or Joe Six Pack on a message board dictate when he's supposed to retire. Because that's essentially what many Dolphin fans are doing.
Cut the cord for good? Are you kidding me?
You don't have to like it. I don't. But like Zach Thomas, I understand it. He didn't want to go there. The Dolphins forced him there. And he's trying to make the best of it. To not make nice with the fans of his new team is to spit on the men who went all out for him, are signing his checks and the men in his locker room. It's awkward for everybody involved. But he's making the best of it.
JT should retire when JT wants to retire.cdz12250, muscle979 and DePhinistr8 like this. -
Wow trying to build a relationship with that fan base? Are you kidding me? Wtf Jason?

Imho he took the Jets offer because it fit what he wanted to do, and they were more than likely the best team to make him an offer, and they made no bones about wanting him in NY.
7 sacks and 3 FF and a TD, and healthy, and he would have gotten no other offers?
-
Let him do what he wants... we're not going to get the true story from either side. I don't hate the guy, I hate the team he's on. I want him to lose, but it's not like I want to see him fail... and fail miserably... such as someone like Tom Brady or Mark Sanchez...

We know for a fact he was offered a contract extension and he shot it down point blank.
Since he shot down what the FO thought he was worth they wanted to wait to see what the market offered. Seems fair from a mgmt perspective IMO.
All this "we weren't interested in him" is completely disproved by the fact that we offered him a contract extension during the year last year and directly after the season also apparently.
Jason Taylor chose more money to go to an organization and fan base he has no respect for at all.
Moving on for more money is acceptable but when it's to an organization you clearly cannot stand then to me it's a sell out of epic proportions and shows pretty low character.
Just my opinion.
I'm old school.
And no I'm not reacting this way because he left.
I don't think he had much left in the tank anyway.
In fact I think he opens up a weakness for us when we play them.
I hope they play him FT in the defense. We should target running right at him all game!
It's a take on the principles involved.
Taylor has a right to ignore those priciples and as a fan I have a right to comment on his dismissing those priciples.
