To say that 'we all knew upfront that Taylor wasn't going to work out' is playing MMQB to the highest level. For a guy who had never been hurt to suffer 2 leg injuries in a span of 4 weeks was just flukish. He was a year removed from winning defensive player of the year and was still very productive. We gambled and lost, it happens.

I agree. I was pretty adamant that we weren't going to get our value on our investment, but to say that we knew that he wasn't going to work out here was the highest order of revisionism.
I think the expectations were completely out of whack, but again, I was expecting more than what we got from him.
