Never been to the Pro-Bowl? Im very suprised to read that. I know he is prone to injury but did rush for 1500 + yards a few years back.

  • One of the more underated rb's in the game over the years

    Injuries have hurt Taylor more than anything in his career

    Lives up to the nickname "fragile fred".

    He is a Jag, so no one knows about him. I was reading an article on ESPN about the ROY, Maurice Drew only got mentioned
    once by a group of experts..thats freaking amazing! Vince looked like a deer in the headlights last week and Drew ran wild, but
    Young is still the front running...sick

    Drew has been more impressive than Bush this season. He'd be my pick, though a close one, over Young at this point.

    If Fraud Taylor is out for the rest of the year, M. Jones-Drew may pull away with ROY. He could end up with 2000 total yards and 15-20 TDs. He has been the best rookie RB this year and he wasn't even a first round pick. I can see Reggie Bush eventually lining up as a WR more often next year just to get Deuce on the field. I'm not sure if the hobby is going to give much love to a guy that has 800 yds rushing, 800 yards receiving, and 800 yds in returns every year. Scoring a bunch of TD's like Gale Sayers may help.

    Drew will help Taylor lengthen his career as he is a little Tank, 40 inch thighs on that kid!! I know Taylor is fragile but when healthy he can be just as much a threat as any back to score from anywhere on the field. I was very suprised he never got a nod for Hawaii though.
