I hate to say it, but guys, it is time to GET OVER Sean Taylor. I don't mean to sound insensitive or anything. I really don't. And I do feel bad for his teammates and family. And he WAS a great player.

But his death has made people think he was much more than he really was. YES, he was a good player. YES, he was a Pro Bowl guy. But come on. Don't you realize that this is a bit much? He was great, but again, everyone needs to move on.


I mean, people, come on. I liked the guy. as a Cowboys fan, he was one of the very few Redskins I respected. But this is all a bit much. We're putting him on a pedestal here and this is taking it all too far. Sure, it would be a cool honor. But what are you gonna do? Put a guy on the cover, but leave him out of the game? Or do you suggest giving him 100 in all stats and making him the greatest Madden character ever?


Again, I am NOT trying to be rude or insensitive here. But when someone dies you MUST move on with your life. Putting him on the freakin' Madden cover just prolongs the memory of his death.

Oh yeah. Way to blame it on my team allegiances. Look at my TDs. Recently, I defended Taylor against a guy who was making somewhat insensitive comments about him, so don't give me that Cowboys bullsh*t.

Now, you're treating the guy like he was Jesus or something. Again, I don't mean to sound rude, but he was NOT a "great person" as you claim. I am not calling him a thug here, but let's look at him. He had run ins with the law. He appeared to be turning his life around, yet he still wasn't a model citizen. His version of turning his life around was not getting in trouble, not going above and beyond in the community, as players like Warrick Dunn do.


Now again, I am gad he sevres as inspiration to you, but LOTS of players have the same story, or one even more inspiring. That is, unless being killed in a home invasion is the part that inspires you.

And now I'll say it again; while it WOULD be a nice gesture, it has become the time to move on. The Redskins will be going through their pre-season without him for the first time, and people will finally have distanced themselves from this tragedy. Then you release a video game with him on it? Nope. Time to move on.

"Yea he had some run ins. Thats just how they do in DC."

Lamest BS I have ever heard. What, just 'cause all the poor thugs on the street break the law it makes it acceptable for people to do it? That is just how they do? Life isn't a rap song dude... and you can't blow breaking the law off as saying it is how everyone rolls...


Also... what Dallas FS got into the Pro Bowl INSTEAD of Sean Taylor? Another MORON homer fan with a bad over his head posted this in the comments, I'll just say the same thing again:

LMAO! What the hell are you talking about??? He WAS elected to the Pro Bowl! Roy Williams was elected several weeks AFTERWARDS as a replacement! Jeez... how dumb can you be? Did you expect them to wheel out his coffin and make it play zone coverage? He has passed on! He WAS a Pro Bowl selection, but you need, you know, a LIVING PERSON to actually PLAY the game.


Got it? Taylor is dead. He was elected to the Pro Bowl team, but there is a REASON another player was added... Jesus... some people don't think before speaking.
