Quitters never win...
I don’t remember most of these guys (and I suspect that is the reason most are voting for Taylor), but, when I read that “he quit during training camp”, that is enough for me.
He quit during training camp....
on a team that won the Superbowl that season, and would go on to go BACK to the Superbowl the following season.
Think about it this way…. he doesn’t quit for two more years, he’s got a Superbowl ring for life, and two NFC Championship banners, and of course, he’d have the everlasting glory that those early-mid 80s Skins get, with all the endoresement stuff and doors opening for them.
Maybe not the WORST DE in team history, but definitely the DUMBEST.
No Danny, Nooooooo - Tom Landry, 1982., and Washington Redskins fans, 1999-
Maybe if he didn't quit...
We wouldn’t have won that Superbowl, or gotten to the next one.
Ya just never know.

I have no idea who any of these guys are outside of Taylor.

The worst at any position (except QB) is likely to be somebody we never heard of
But I think it is unfair to call Jason Taylor a bad player. He was and probably still is a great player. When he came here Blache did not want him and did not like him, changed his position (left to right) so Andre Carter didn’t have to move to the other side, in a system for which he wasn’t suited, and then he got a nagging injury. The whole experience here was a disaster for him (and the Skins), but not because he is a bad player.
Taylor, sine he's the only one I've heard of
But didn’t he play OLB more when he was here.
I use “play” loosely.
This is a setup it seems...
Taylor was not a bad player, but he did not do for us what we had hoped…
damn it…I voted for Taylor.
The true loser is the person who'll be #2.
Too many young folks not thinking things through…. Taylor had a FREAK INJURY that nearly cost him his life the one season he was here. How can THAT mean that he’s the worst DE ever?
No Danny, Nooooooo - Tom Landry, 1982., and Washington Redskins fans, 1999-
Why?
Vinny traded a second-round pick in 2009 and a sixth-round pick in 2010 for this guy. Snyder has this poster in his man cave.

My eyes! That was totally unnecessary.

Does anyoody know if Jason Taylor would fit Haslett's system?
He was a 4-3 defensive end, known for drifting, moving around a lot, very good pass rusher, very strong and quick. He played well for the Jets last year, and wants to play another year. Should the Skins give him a chance?
Guys who sucked are seldom remembered...
Unless there is a reason that their suckitude creates a particularly bitter memory.
Jason taylor was another in the long line of players that the Redskins trades valuable draft picks to acquire, and gave a fat contract to, only to have him suck while he was here. Since that seems to happen all too frequently here, every time it happens is like rubbing salt into a continuously open wound that NEVER gets a chance to heal.
I vaguely remember the suckitude of Shane Collins. The others not at all. Taylor is another poke in the sore spot created by the likes of Dion Sanders, Bruce Smith, Jeff George, Jerimiah Trotter, Dana Stubblefield, Adam Archuletta, Brandon Lloyd, and now poked again by Fat Albert.

Very true
i think Taylor gave it his all when healthy at least, but still very true.
Virtually every team has similar stories
The Skins have been about middle of the pack the last ten years or so, not good, not bad. A lot of good football, some disappointments. The most exciting sport around.
I picked Jason Taylor
I don’t care about how much we pay a player; I don’t care how good they are; What I do care about is how many draft picks we gave for them and how high the picks were. Costing 2 draft picks, sucking, and then walking away is a mortal sin in my book.
