Bottom line is that Parcell's is the BOSS and you do what the BOSS tells you to do or you go somewhere else. Cameron was a "players coach" and what did that get us? It is getting very tiresome listening to people think star players deserve special treatment because of their "star" status. You should prove yourself every day. JT doesn't think he should have to do that, so maybe he needs to go to a team where that is tolerated. We have had no success with the alternative to Parcells. If we go 8-8 this year and make the playoff's next year you'll all love the guy. You can tell that Vox is one of the Gen Y’ers roaming the country now.

That works for some guys, doesn't work for others obviously. Some guys prefer to just be treated like men from the start, rather than having to earn that right from some "old school" guy like Parcells.

He has made a living on past success for a nice stretch here but really hasn't been succesful is many years. He is the Bobby Knight of the NFL. A total A-hole who mistreats everyone around him to make himself look better. Unfortunatley this worked for him early in his career and his approach has been validated by past early success. I hope they trade Jason Taylor...he deserves better than having a blowhard question his skills and production for many years on a bad team. Jason Taylor is a Dolphin. Parcells is a hatchet-man and veture capitalist rolled into one big ego! I used to think highly of Parcells but not anymore...Retire already, your becoming an embarrassement!

Are you INSANE? or just disallusioned by your beloved cowboys? Parcels and TO didn't work out because of TO NOT because of Parcells. I'll admit, I'm not a huge Parcells fan, but he was fine with many high profile players in the past. If it wasn't for Tony Romo, T.O. would be a distraction on that team.

You'll either win with his conservative "system" or you won't win at all. He's either incapable or unwilling to game plan to player's strengths. Yeah you'll win, but you won't win much. His biggest strength is player evaluation, but even that is limited. He couldn't draft a good offensive lineman to save his ass in Dallas and he spent 7 draft picks on them, including 3 2nd rounders.

None of us know EXACTLY what's going on behind the scenes between Parcells and Taylor. One thing I DO know is that Taylor had a pretty good idea when the DWTS show was going to wrap up in the event he were in the finals. He also probably had an idea when training camp for the Fins started. He chose to do the show knowing they could overlap. Obviously, if Cameron had stayed with his staff this wouldn't have been a big deal. Taylor could have just said he needed a break from the game after such a terrible season in which 4 players on the team gave at least half an effort. But with all these changes, the perception of him is that he is not interested. The only good that came from Taylor being on the show is that more people in my office (mostly women) know who he is and are becoming Dolphins fans. This will last about 2 weeks after the show ends and people figure out that the Dolphins are still a mediocre team. You know what???

At least, unlike Saban, he's an ass who can actually build a team and win. I just think it is funny how everyone from Parcell’s old teams hate him so much. Where were the Cowboys prior to BP?

And his best returning player chose THIS year to shake his ass for reality tv. He didn't like it and he said so from the onset. Taylor deserves better, in that, he should have been granted the right to seek a trade on his own terms. Parcells so grossly overestimated Taylor's trade value, that he's kicking himself. So when Taylor walked into the room, he didn't even want to look at him. JT shouldn't be shocked. The Tuna's used his reputation as an a-hole to land his last three jobs.

Heck he's probably in better shape from doing DWTS than he would be from OTAs. That said, as a Pats fan I will be thrilled if BP is so pissy with JT that he trades him out of the AFC East since JT is pretty much solely responsible for Brady's struggles vs the Fins. (I know better than to hope for a trade to the Pats). JT has given his all to that team for countless years no matter how bad they were, who the coach was , what the scheme was, whatever. That alone is so rare these days. Heck, my own team has a certain WR who quit on his old team when things got rough. Yes I am aware JT is well compensated, but he has never mouthed off about anything publicly and is a standup guy on and off the field as well as being an amazing player I have coveted for my team for years. I think Parcells is totally wrong for not speaking to him. He should be trying to win over valuable veterans not alienate them. He will need them to help turn the team around. For heaven's sake even SABAN who has the bedside manner of Hitler consulted with his vets before he brought Ricky Williams back.

His stopping by to talk was his way of keeping a part of the team even if he is not sweating in the weight room with them. Again, it’s not like he is staying in Hollywood not talking to anyone, pretending football does not exist. Who knows the dancing may help his footwork on the field. Football players used to take ballet lessons to help them. Who knows what the cha-cha can do.

Parcells needs to get over the caveman routine. It failed miserably with TO in Dallas. Now, he is trying to push a previous good guy into doing a TO. Way to get the team all on the same page there buddy. Dallas is very glad you are gone.

You mean a guy who makes his living as a football player and just happened to stop by for a visit with his teammates who also make their livings as football players was ignored by his new boss? No! You mean if your bartending job overshadowed your job as a Corporate Executive then the CEO would be upset? If it's true, get over it, Taylor. And for the Ya-hoos posting nonsense about "respect for players" and other horseshite, the dude is paid millions of dollars and under contract to play football and he's damn lucky that the owner allowed him to go prance around for some extra cash.

Mark Ramprakash, a former England cricketer, put in two of the greatest seasons in the history of county cricket immediately after winning the UK version of the tournament at the age of 38. It's good for fitness and footwork. Great players average around 60-70 in the county game. Ramprakash had back to back seasons, in the twilight of his career, averaging close to 100.

You have to ignore many of the facts to see this having any impact in Miami. The first being that Jason Taylor is a professional who has always conducted himself with dignity and class. I don't know how anybody could picture a player of Jason Taylors character thinking of retaliating. I've worked for guys just like Parcels, just like who you're all describing. They can be assholes to be around all the time but people are forgetting that Parcels isn't the coach, and doesn't want to coach. This whole story is just for the media. There's nothing in it to suggest that if Taylor doesn't get traded (which looks unlikely now) that he won't come back and be the professional he's always been. The only thing he could do would be retire, but he's trying to build a career of being liked and that wouldn't fly well in the market with his biggest audience.
