Chester Taylor anyone?

Where will Chester Taylor play in 2010? | National Football Post (http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Where-will-Chester-Taylor-play-in-2010.html)

I like Taylor, but why add another 30 year old back?

Obviously he's not a long term answer but he's got a lot less mileage than your typical 30 year old back.

i would assume he wants to start. lets try to stay away from anyone that's 30 years old, or older

In an offseason where free agents are going to be limited, only shooting for guys younger than 30 might be pretty hard to pull off.

I think he could be good for us for a couple of years. It really depends on who we keep and who we draft but I do like him. I think he could be productive. He's a good pass blocker and a good receiver out of the backfield.

I wouldn't be against going after Taylor. Betts is probably done here coming off major knee surgery and Portis isn't a workhorse #1 anymore. At the very least Taylor would be a nice addition to compliment Portis and be the 3rd down back.

Yeah agreed. You just have to find a good mix of vets and younger guys. If a player has been a starter since day 1, then 30 years old is kind a red-flag type of benchmark. But also, some of the most productive players in the league are north of 30.

what is the difference between him and betts? no thanks!

Shanahan definitely likes to have a nice stable of capable running backs, and he's proven that they don't need to be big names to excel. Chester Taylor is still an very good player for the screen game. I wouldn't be opposed to him as part of a time share, but not a #1. Nowadays I think I prefer a committee approach to RB.
