Jenkins struggles on the bottom as it is. DT might be a bit too much on top.

Hall also has been majored (albeit by Jenkins) this year already.

If Taylor wins 4, and again, I advise that we CALM THIS STUFF THE EFF DOWN (see: Dustin Schlatter; Brent Metcalf), it wouldn't diminish or replace Cael's accomplishment's IMO. I'd probably be slightly more impressed with Taylor (and I'm nitpicking here, because, let's face it, 4 time champ undefeated is 4 time champ undefeated), because it will have been at a slightly more competitive weight range historically. That said, setting perfection as the standard is a heavy burden to put on people. People detract from Metcalf and Schlatter's accomplishments because they weren't able to maintain perfection throughout, when really what both guys did were remarkable (and Schlatter likely would have been even more remarkable if not for unfortunate injuries. Either way, both of these guys were touted at one time as "the next Cael" or the "best folkstyler since Cael". I specifically remember a post by a Minnesota fan claiming that if Schlatter won 4 titles, it would be FAR more impressive than Cael since he won his first title as a true freshman.

Try to remember guys: perfection isn't a bar, it's a ceiling.

Eerily similar to things people were saying about Metcalf before he lost to Caldwell in 2009.
