Porter or Taylor? - New England Patriots Forums

It looks as if both Jason Taylor and Joey Porter could hit the market this offseason. So, in honor of the "should we sign him?" threads, let's have a poll.

Neither hopefully

Taylor would be more of a veteran not every down backup and Porter would probably be an every down starter opposite Mayo.

Taylor would blend in well with this young defense while Porter who is younger could be a locker room guy.

Both guys have positive reasons to sign them but since I hate BOTH teams Porter has been on (Dolphins,Steelers) and don't care for him as a person,I would prefer Taylor on a one year only contract.

Is this even a question, Taylor without a doubt.

I still got hate from when I was in Pittsburgh. 'Cause I got cheated, both of them AFC Championship games. They been videotaping for years, man.

You can not sit up there and honestly tell me, if it wasn't worth it, why were you doing it so much?

Two times we could of blown them people out, easily. They say he's so smart, oh "he's the best brainstorming coach" yeah, because you're cheating! You got caught, if it wasn't so bad why'd you destroy the tapes so fast? That's my dynasty. I could be sitting up here with three rings. I played in three AFC Championships, won one, lost two. Just like they want to use asterisks on everything else, they have to asterisks on them.

Who they got on their team besides Tom Brady? It's not like they got a gang of dogs over there. Just a bunch of all right guys, no just real dogs like that.

I don't know last year, if they found a new way to do it or not, the boy cold. He showed us man, he's cold.

If Porter hadn't specifically mouthed off against the Patriots I would honestly want him on this team. He seems a lot like the Rodney Harrison type, which is something I think the Patriots are lacking. They really don't have much of an emotional leader outside of Brady.

I don't think either are required.

Suppose Taylor could be a stop gap for a year at OLB aswell as providing some veteran presence but neither get you looking forward to their contribution.

Joey Porter would never ever be allowed to play for the Patriots.
