Lucky Jack Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Just heard an interview on Sirius NFL Radio (awesome by the way) with the editor of Viking Update...talked to Chester's Agent and he is in with the Triangle of Bumbling...I mean authority now...and things are looking like a deal...could be all hype or misdirection...but the Vikes tend to get their man (Winfield , Smoot , etc...). Is Chester over-rated??? Can't decide...but with an improved O-line in Minnesota...could be a Lamont Jordan type deal (not too shabby for a first year as a starter...)

Will they cut him? Lamont Jordan? Remember last year when fans said you will be better off without Moss? Hope springs eternal in Vikingland, but Chester isn't Jordan. His last year in NY Jordan averaged 5.2 and Taylor last year 4.2. Jordan is a different back. Edited March 11, 2006 by Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows... 1364126[/snapback] I dont think they would be going after him if they didnt plan on starting him or just using him as a 3rd down RB, they have enough 3rd down RB's already on the roster.

pistolpete2432 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I dont get why they keep using these average backs when they have the money to go after a superstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I dont get why they keep using these average backs when they have the money to go after a superstar 1364156[/snapback] because Brad Childress is the coach and he wants to be like Andy Reid and let all the top players that can fill gaps slip through his fingers...

Mewelde Moore is the biggest 3rd down back in the NFL. All he can do is catch out of the backfield. They should just stick with the Whizz. He's the most talented guy, and still would be with Taylor in Minny. But I do think Taylor can be an every down back, and succeed if given the chance. So if they did sign him, not bad...

Taylor and Moore could be a good combo and they may lose Michael Bennett to free agency any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in the fact with a new coach, if they sign Chester he will obviously be Childresses "GUY". I see Moore as nothing but a backup RB at this point with this new coaching regime. The only way I think Moore stands a chance is if Minny doesnt sign any FA RB's and doesnt draft a RB in rd1 or 2. Do you see either happening?

He looked pretty good behind a bad O Line and no qb in Balt. Ofcourse I remember people saying the same thing last year about L Jordan.

Savage Beatings Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 With the greatest salary cap situation possible, a lot of talented Free Agent RB's available, and a need for a clear cut starting RB on this offense, I do NOT like the vVkigns going after Chester Taylor. Way to set your sights low! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to set your sights low! 1364294[/snapback] Like who? Sure, I was hoping something crazy would happen and we'd go after Edge, but after Edge and Alexander....who would you suggest they set their sights on? Granted, I'm not jumping up and down with joy here, but I'll take Taylor over Jamal Lewis or Morris. He's shown he can catch the ball and break the long run in part time play. He definetly fits the offense. Spend some money on offensive line he could have a good year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
