It's simple, is he an upgrade over what we have now? Yes. There you have it.

there i have what? 10 more sacks? whoopty crap, that's not going to solidify anything playoffs-wise.
just what exactly is taylor bringing that we don't have for a 3rd round pick who has just as much a chance of making "the difference" on this team as taylor does? is it really just 7 more sacks than a weaver/DE combo could get? i'm not being sarcastic either, i'm asking because i don't see what he brings that is
that much better than who we have now or the general worth of a 3rd round pick.
if jacoby jones (as a 3rd round pick) steps up and catches 5 td's/50 receptions/500 yards would it make more or less of a difference than the taylor 10? i don't think this is out of his reach, especially with the guy's we have around (and currently in front) of him.
you're right though, we do need an extra player to get over the top. like maybe andre johnson plays the whole season this go-round? dunta? schauby? ahman? 17 players by season's end. don't tell me their health wouldn't have made a difference the way you think taylor would.
