I know this horse has been beat to death, but I was watching an old Jaguar video from 2000 and I just don’t see how..

He should have made the Pro Bowl those 2 seasons. Until I looked, I didn’t know it was this close..
FT got a raw deal, would’ve been a HOF on any other team easy.
This is a very obvious case of #becausejaguars
Did the NFL not keep stats in 1999 for fragile freddy?
Part of it may be the small market.  However, I also recall a couple of seasons where he got hurt by the fact that pro-bowl voting ends before the season does.  Taylor had some impressive games late in the year which likely would have moved him up the list, but voting was already done.

Pretty sure they did and he broke the nfl record for longest run in the playoffs.
It was Coughlin's fault. He smeared him good.
boohooo there are pro bowl snubs every year so what?

Because he played for the Jaguars.  If Taylor put up the same exact numbers as a cowboy he would be in the hall of fame right now.
For those asking if the NFL kept Taylor’s stats in 1999, he missed a lot of games that year but was healthy for the playoffs.
