Well, the year they got rid of Moss (and lost Culpepper to injury) they went from 8-8 to 9-7 so I don't see how losing them was such a bad thing.

Welcome to the light, my ACC brethren!UPDATE:
CT RB21 or worse: HK, MLBrandow, Just Win Baby
CT RB20 or better: TeamDingo, Real Man of Genius, Banger, The Scientist, Broncofan13000, The Ref
OK, this thing will be closed out at Midnight tonight. Sigs need to be determined, as well as length of time to display the sig.
I wouldn't be keeping him this year if I didn't believe that.

This would be a VERY good bet FunkyPlutos.

Final List:
CT RB21 or worse: HK, MLBrandow, Just Win Baby
CT RB20 or better: TeamDingo, Real Man of Genius, Banger, The Scientist, Broncofan13000, The Ref, glock, Gravity
Proposed sigs for RB21 or worse:
HK, MLBrandow & Just Win Baby were right about Chester Taylor, he was a bum and I should have heeded their wisdom.
Proposed sigs for RB20 or better:
TeamDingo, Real Man of Genius, Banger, The Scientist, Broncofan13000, The Ref, glock, & Gravity were right about Chester Taylor, he is a stud and I should have heeded their wisdom.
I am cool with different ideas for sigs, but would prefer something short and sweet...its a public courtesy b/c long sigs just clutter the boards.
Sig must appear through the NFL playoffs and can vanish after the Super Bowl.
Good luck guys, this thread should be good for a few bumps along the way!

wow, you RB20 or better crowd are suckers
Yeah, damn this was fool's bet. That injury clause should have killed it. I wonder how many RB20 or better supporters missed that pink elephant.
BigRed
Footballguy
Yeah sucks how they signed one of the best in the league. (?)
Agree but they have possibilities and at least some real size/speed to keep Ds honest.
Johnson sucks FF-wise but is good NFL-wise. Basically he won't burn any team much but that includes his own.
This seems to be the big hang-up for most. I'm playing wait n see on that.
ie BETTER coach.Not a big Taylor fan - guess I'm just saying IMO this is even more up in the air than you might expect or hope, even for this early in the year.

INJURY BUMP!
Vikings RB Taylor injury is to left leg
Kevin Seifert
8/5/2006
Running back Chester Taylor did not participate in this morning’s 70-minute indoor practice, apparently because of an injury he suffered to his left leg during Friday night’s practice against Kansas City.
Signed to be the team’s No. 1 running back, Taylor left Friday night’s practice with a wrap around the quadriceps muscle of his left leg. Mewelde Moore and Ciatrick Fason took most of the carries during team drills. Coach Brad Childress did not mention Taylor’s injury Friday night, and defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin — serving as the team spokesman today — said he did not know the extent of Taylor’s injury.
Taylor declined comment as he left the locker room this morning.

PROPOSED WORKLOAD BUMP

West Coast offense a perfect fit for Taylor
Judd Zulgad, Star Tribune
Last update: August 07, 2006 – 11:22 PM
Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said the ideal mix for Taylor in a game would be to get him more than 20 carries and four or five passes.

Fluff piece. RBs with 400+ touches in the past 5 years:LT - 2002, 2003TeamDingo said:
Ricky Williams - 2002, 2003
Lewis - 2003
Martin - 2004
James - 2005
Tiki - 2005
Green - 2003
McAllister - 2003
10 times, an average of 2 times per year. Not that this means a lot--Taylor can be a great fantasy player without 400 touches. But this type of thing is said about 20 different RBs every preseason, and only 2 actually typically get that many touches. If I had to bet on which 2 it will be this year, Taylor certainly wouldn't be one of them.

Footballguy
Keep in mind it says ideal mix. For the Vikings, ideally, they're killing a 20 point lead in the 4th quarter every game. Reality is much different. Projecting that many touches over 16 games isn't realistic, as you mentioned, but it might be a good base to project realistic touches.
David Yudkin
Footballguy
This is right along the lines of what they said when they signed him. At that time, they said something like they saw Taylor as a 20-30 touch per game back.We all know that 25-30 touches a game is crazy talk, but averaging 20-22 does not seem excessive (320-350 on the season).TeamDingo said:
Naysayers will say he won't stay healthy or productive enough to get that many. We'll find out . . .
TeamDingo
Footballguy
LOL. The intent and style was meant to be a playful jab at HK's hysteric INJURY BUMP thread.I would say it is more ( maybe only slightly) significant than a fluff piece. I do not expect him to get 400+ touches. Nor as you say does he need to to be a significant fantasy contributor( certainly >RB20).
But to the people that say:
"RBBC with Moore et al "
"splitting carries or on the bench "
"Taylor plays for a coach who has shown that he likes to use multiple backs in a game."
"The comparasion of Taylor to Jordan can only become reality if Taylor get the touches Jordan did. I just don't see that happening."
"RBBC to start, then bench, then unemployment"
"I think Taylor will have minimal receptions"
You might want to at least consider that his coaches have every intention of getting him at least 20 touches a game.

Vikings | Taylor has confidence of teammates
Published Tue Aug 8 12:12:00 p.m. ET 2006
(KFFL) Don Seeholzer, of the Pioneer Press, reports Minnesota Vikings RB Chester Taylor, who is entering his first year of being a featured back, is earning the confidence of FB Tony Richardson and other teammates. Richardson, who has blocked for Kansas City Chiefs RB Priest Holmes, believes Taylor can put up numbers similar to Holmes if he is used effectively. "There's definitely a lot of Priest Holmes in Chester," WR Travis Taylor agreed. "He's a guy who can catch balls out of the backfield, make guys miss, run guys over, make big plays."

LOL, as long as Taylor gets 20 carries and a couple catches/game that's all that matters. You can hang your hat on Fason if you wish.

Read it all.Keep grasping at them straws.
Embrace coach speak.
Childress is big on "competition" at every position. There is a reason for the language and quote marks in the quote you selected.
H.K.
Footballguy
Look at the Facts: Taylor is hurt and the other RB's are impressing in his absence. The Depth Chart is undetermined at this point, but a player who can't (or won't) come out of the trainers' room is not going to win a starting role. Again, CT will not start week one, its already over for him.

"it's over Johny" (airplane)....couldn't resist....Have they ever played a preseason game yet? You seem to be fairly knowledgable but all along you have been looking for something that's not there and when one theory fails you move onto the next. First it was he's out of shape, then Chris Brown was coming to town, then he was injured, now it's Fason is looming. What will it be next week? If a Mike Bell scenario plays out and Fason/MM move up the depth charts believe me I'm not gonna put my head in the sand and pretend that all is well. At this point and time there is nothing to indicate that anything at all has changed except that Taylor had a hammy that put him on the sidelines for a day or two. He was back yesterday practicing with the 1st team.FBG we need a grasping at straws smilie....

Can be people just relax on Mewelde Moore? We already know he is as fragile as a glass vase and is not a serious contenter for the full-time starting job.

Get back to me in week 4
BlueOnion
Footballguy
Being a Minnesota fan, it pains me this guy is on the team. When healthy, he gets the job done. His downside is, whenever he gets a paper cut the first thing he does is update his will.If Mewelde does start a game by week 4, than his season-ending contusion should happen early in week 5.

Vikings :: RB
RB C. Taylor Star Of The Day
Don Seeholzer, St. Paul Pioneer Press - [Full Article]
RB Chester Taylor was the offensive star of the morning, full-pads practice. Taylor participated in his first full practice since suffering a mild groin strain Friday night. He ripped off three nice runs, including one against the first-team defense and another cutback job on which he stiff-armed CB Ronyell Whitaker. "He had a tremendous day," QB Brad Johnson said. "That's what we're going to have to have with Chester. That's what we expect, and that's what you saw today."

Injury update
RB Ciatrick Fason left the field and returned to the locker room. He was leveled on a run by a backup defensive lineman and lay on the ground for a few moments. WR Koren Robinson also has been limited in practice, as well as WR Marcus Robinson.
McKinnie heads to trainer area
LT Bryant McKinnie headed into the injury trailer just off the field under his own power. He was escorted off by head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman.
