Is J. Taylor really needed?

Jason Taylor, when healthy, is clearly our best option to bookend Andre Carter. But we got screwed in the trade for him, I think.

Even at age 34 it surprising that he did not totaly tear up his knee. There's a bunch of much younger players that would have been gone for allot longer if not the season. Dancing With The Stars got him limbered up.
