Raider.Nation Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Moore is 1 dimensional? How is taylor more versatile? you do know that Moore is a fine reciever right ? 1364580[/snapback] yeah, I think that is his strength. I'm not impressed with his rushing. c&p all his college stats all night, still won't be convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 "The last [free agent] to come out of Baltimore as a backup [running back] was Priest Holmes," Foley said. "I'm not saying he's Priest Holmes, but I'm sure he had some of [proving himself] in the back of his mind. That was a selling point for us." The Vikings are funny if nothing else.

Outshined Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 After Taylor climbs aboard, Smith will still be the best RB in Minnesota. 1364665[/snapback] I just have this feeling that O-Smith will not be back. I don't think they want to deal with another Ricky Williams. If he is suspended for one year, is he suspended from the team from the date his suspension started for the whole calendar year? That would mean no contact for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last story I read on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onterrio. Ontario is a province in Canaduh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they now spend big $ on the OL, I don't think it makes sense. 1365179[/snapback] With all of the money that the Vikes have to spend, I guess I just had my heart set on Edge. Frankly I do not know much about Chester Taylor. I'm hoping tha this move pans out, but this is one signing that I will remain neutral on until I see what he can do in our new Superhuman Childressified offense.

Rovers Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 If he stays healthy, he could be pretty good in PPR leagues. The Ravens thought highly enough of him last year to match the Cleveland offer for him. I had to overpay to keep him in my dynasty league last year, but if he works out this year, he was cheap. Tice is gone.... I don't think you will see them play a whole lot of RBBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexgaddis Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Just what Minnesota needs. Another average running back. 1365213[/snapback] Witha good O-line he is far better than an "average" running back...with Bennett gone and Whizzinator most likely gone, this just leaves Mewelde as the third down back...

I think people forget that Chester is a GREAT 3rd down RB himself, why would they take him out when he is very good at pass catching/pass protection?? I dont get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get it 1365452[/snapback] I still think Moore will be the man when its said and done. He just got to play hurt. That his biggest knock to me. If they looking at the Westbrook clone. Taylor could be the power back they want though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get it 1365452[/snapback] I am not saying they will not use him on third downs, I am simply saying he will be the starter no question next year...Moore is the only other back to contend with is all... Look for Taylor to put up Wetsbrook type numbers with lots of catches... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdawg Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I think Taylor is closer to a Westbrook clone...because he can at least pass block... 1365460[/snapback] Yes, Taylor is a back of the Westbrook mold. Taylor is a pretty nice pickup. He played tough here in Baltimore, is a very good receiver and can block. I think he's more of a RBBC type of player, but could be very productive for the Vikes.
