BREAKING: #Jets will release Kris Jenkins, Vernon Gholston, Damien Woody and Jason Taylor, per sources. #nfl #nyj
Will he come back? Retire a Dolphin? or forever be hated for signing with our hated rival?

I wonder how he feels about that Gatorade bath now...
-
We don't need him
-
But he didn't get his championship. :-(

Ah yes...poor Jason. He sold his soul for that one shot. So close, and yet so far. Pitty. :shifty:

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Thank You

What happened to the people who thought they were ruining this team by letting Jason Taylor go and letting two inexperienced linebackers like Cameron Wake and Koa Misi carry the load?
I'm kinda surprised about Damion Woody too. He's 33, but he's still a good quality RT. Or Right Guard. Or Left Guard. Or Center(If you don't let him shotgun snap).Ohio Fanatic likes this. -

No big surprise there. Anybody who hates Bill Parcells is OK in my book. He knew that guy was a clown and he was right. He'll retire a Dolphin this season or next and there will be at least 100 threads with people huffing and puffing and whining about it. I rarely open JT threads anymore because when I see Dolphins fans still upset about how he didn't fall in line with the rotten Tuna it just boggles my mind. Years of playmaking and sacrifice on losing teams with incompetent management [how many years did he go never even thinking about hitting free agency?] and it's all erased because some has been false savior waltzed into town and decided he wanted to throw some weight around. I used to wade through all of the posts about this evil JT character who only cared about money and not the Dolphins or south Florida. But these days when I want to read some good fiction I just log on to amazon.

Nor is he exactly the selfless paragon of Phindom you portray him to be.Ohio Fanatic, Colorado Dolfan, Starry31 and 1 other person like this. -

they weren't ruining a team by letting JT walk, they were alienating a fanbase
see how fast the fanbase (myself included) turned on Sparano when there was a chance for Harbaugh? How we were tired of Ireland sleaziness?
Some of that has roots in the casual disregard for two greatest fan favorites post-Marino, JT and Zach.dolphindebby, MarinePhinFan, jetssuck and 2 others like this. -
Here's the PFF stats, for comparison:
Koa Misi- 7th overall, 15.1 overall rating, 4.8 rush, 0.2 coverage, 9.8 run(5 sack, 4 Hit, 20 pressures), 624 snaps
Jason Taylor- 55th overall, -0.9 overall rating, -5.1 pass rush, -1.0 coverage, 7.1 run(5 sacks, 3 hit, 15 pressures), 602 snaps
If we're complaining about Quentin Moses getting snaps over Taylor...
Quentin Moses- 18th overall, 4.4 overall, 3.4 rush, -2.2 coverage, 3.2 run,(1 sack, 2 penalties, 6 pressures), 185 snaps.
Taylor's performance wouldn't have warranted him getting snaps over Moses at this point. -

Ross will resign him for a retirment cermony. That guy loves an excuse to throw a party. What will be interesting to see is how many fans boo him at his ceremony.

Ehh If hes Not retiring (Please retire your like 39) i wouldnt be angry if we brought him in to back up wake and misi, possibly teach or corners how to catch or something

I was fine with us letting JT go. Just wasn't fine with the bush league way Bill "The big FUPA" Parcells dicked around a Dolphins legend. We all know the Jets aren't the classiest of organizations but at least they are letting him go early so he knows where he stands.

Yeah, that's professional. As was the leaking of bogus information by the team about supposed meetings and such in the offseason (which didn't happen) after the team asked for silence -- per their standard operating procedure -- and JT obliged. Bang up job by the front office. JT said at the time, he didn't want to worry about that stuff during the season. It was November and they were trying to stay in the hunt.
And you know what? JT said if he knew that would be the last time they'd talk to him, he'd have signed on the practice field. He didn't want to leave.
Basically JT had two options: NYJ or retire. And you know what? Both sides made the right decision. JT is near the end. And NYJ was a damn sight better than us this year. You play for championships, right? JT got further this year than he had his entire career in Miami. One game from the Super Bowl.
To me, and this is just me, fans who spit on JT for going to NY didn't deserve him in the first place. I just don't understand that angle.dolphindebby, Frumundah Finnatic, xphinfanx and 2 others like this. -

They overestimated what he had left in the tank. -
JT is one of the all time great Dolphins .Its not his fault that this failing regime could not recognize what he brings to the table.Yes he is in decline but we missed him when Wake was double teamed or when needed veteran presence.
In a few years time he will be up for the ROH voting and make no mistake about it.His name will be up the among the other Dolphin greats .
His role now would be strictly as a pash rush specialist but personally I think JT will retire especially now as we still have this inept regime in place as a lame duck regime . -
IMO, there’s a lot of sentimentality about Jason Taylor that’s interfering with people’s assessment of what happened at the end of 2009.

He can still be a Dolphin at heart in retirement. Like Zach Thomas, except not as devoted.SICK, Colorado Dolfan and like this. -
I do not blame the man for going to the Jest, I will quibble with the notion that he was done as if one looks his sacks came early in the season when he was still somewhat fresh, but I do think the only real reason why JT was not in Miami for his final season was JT himself.
He can say whatever he wishes, there was an offer, he turned it down.
He'll go up on the ROH and imho is a HoF player, if Richard Dent can make it in, so can Jason Taylor.
