I'll go even further; I would not trade Brian Dawkins for Sean Taylor even up if I were the Eagles GM. I guarantee that I would not trade Troy Polamalu (sp?) even up for Taylor now. No way the Cowboys trade Roy Williams for Taylor even up. And the only reason I would not trade Rodney Harrison for Taylor even up now as the GM for the Pats is that Taylor is so much younger than Harrison.

Common; all those guys have been in the league for years, you cant compare them to one another. Would you trade Rothlesberger (arguably the best player to come out of last years draft) for Brady, Manning, McNabb, Cullpepper... proaboably not. You cant compare Taylor to all those guys because they have had time to develop. Taylor may never be as good as any of the safteys you mentioned, but the reason no one would make that trade is because Taylor has only been in the leauge one year and has so much to prove.
Just like you are saying Taylor is a meathead and always will be a meathed; is just as stupid as the people who are already putting him in the HOF. The kid was a freaking rookie last year; you cant pass judgments on how a player is going to be overall after their ROOKIE season. Hell, I would go as far to say you have to wait until at least their third season to really pass judgment. Did he make good plays last year, yes. Did he make stupid plays last year, yes. You cant point to one good or bad play and tell how a player is as a whole.
