We gambled and lost, it happens.

I think the expectations were completely out of whack, but again, I was expecting more than what we got from him.

Nobody's busting on the front office for not being able to predict the future with Taylor's injuries. Year after year of neglecting the defensive line through the draft came to fruit because they had no capable replacement on stand by, then they panicked and overpayed with a second round pick for a guy who was clearly at the end of his career.
It's yet another hallmark of a front office that hasn't a clue, and their losing record proves it.
