[mwchandler21]

Look at those tarps... LOL

[lyricalhomicide00]

fuck yeah fred.. can't wait to see that shit again this year

[Resound999]

i bet you to say that now tard

[yungprince21]

jaguars r the best

[harrypatel06]

i went 2 this game!!!

[86pimp3]

Tiki was not better than Fred Taylor. He was more durable than Fred Taylor but not better.

[liljjp]

Fragile?

fragile players don't get 10k rushing yards...

[xgetmoneyx]

ignorant people think before they speak.

go look him up and look at the injuries.

he's fragile but still a weapon.

[liljjp]

If you look at the injuries they were muscle not bone injuries;pulled his groin completely off his leg. He should be a pro bowler but it is a popularity contest now. If you ask any starter in the NFL they would tell you that Fred is one of the best backs in the league right now even if he is over 30. Even O.J Simpson told him that a couple years ago. He hasnt missed a game in ages You dont get in the top 20 in all time rushing yards by being fragile.

[liljjp]

Only reason people call him Fragile Freddie is because of Tom Coughlin putting him probable on the injury report even though he knew Fred was hurt the rest of the season. Now he deserves the nickname Steady Freddy, and he is class act, more then you will ever be apparently.

dumb 500 character limits

[del1ght]

He's not fragile. Why don't YOU look it up? He's missed a grand total of 8 games in the last 6 years. He had what could have been a career-ending injury early on in his career, but he came back and he's fine now. It has nothing to do with fragile. When you get the flesh torn off your groin, you tell me how quickly you rebound.

8 games in the last 6 years, and when he plays all 16 games next year, it will become 8 games in the last 7 years.

[KGDABE]

Even though you think he "should"

He wont.....

He has never won a super bowl, he has allways had trouble with injuries and has never really played a full season,

he has never gone to the pro bowl,

never lead the leauge in any kind of statistic that really matters.

fred taylor has been average, and even though it may seem like im being an asshole, its true, hes a good runninback, but not a great one, and only great players get into the HOF.

Sorry

[stantonlax22]

Fred Taylor completed two full seasons in 2002 and 2003. He also played in 15 games in both 1998 and 2006, 14 in 2004 and 13 in 2000.

[stantonlax22]

and he would have gone to a pro bowl if he was in a larger market

[KGDABE]

I dont see how this furthers the idea that he should make it to the HOF...

the guy has never been anything special, just average.

he is a good runningback, but not a great one.

[stantonlax22]

"has never really played a full season"

Was a response to that statement

[KGDABE]

oh, well my bad

more power to you bro, hes still not going to the HOF

[RoyalMessup]

10k yard mark? Check

Passed Eddie George and Tiki Barber for all time rushing yards? Check

Still got a few years left in him? Check

Hall of Fame lock? Check

He's going to Canton whether you like it or not.

[KGDABE]

People Aren't even sure If Tiki will make it to the HOF....

And Tiki was better then Taylor.

sorry, but he isn't, wether you like it or not.

[sirtomala]

his career average ypc is 5 yards a carry, hes got over 10000 rushing yards, hes been injured a lot, and still has over 1000 yards in almost every one of his seasons, hes a good blocker and jukes, spins, and trucks the shit out of everyone, like it or not hes going to the pro bowl, and the hall of fame

[KGDABE]

Fred Taylor has averaged 4.7 yards a carry over his entire career. hes rushed for a little over 10,000 yards over 10 seasons. hes averaged 84.2 yards a game, and he only has one season where he actually averaged over 100 yards a game.

the reason he has busted the 10,000 yard mark, is because hes lasted longer than the average NFL running back does. its not like he broke it because he had an outstanding performance.

[KGDABE]

also...... most of the players who broke the 10,000 yard mark, broke it alot earlier in their careers.

take for example edgerrin james, he broke the 10,000 yard mark before taylor, and hasn't even been playing as long as taylor.

[jaggatorpm]

What a crap comparison...he was hurt early in his career...nothing he can do about that. And put Fred in offense like what LT has been in, give him the same number of carries and not miss any games :rolls eyes: Fact is its an amazing accomplishment and stands on its own merit. The fact is he has beat the odds and had an outstanding career. If you want to knock him, you can say he has never been a great receiver out of the backfield.

[KGDABE]

Edgerrin James tore his ACL in his third year, and has never been the same runningback since.

James has never been the same and still broke the mark before taylor.

props to taylor however for his first pro bowl appearence, he deffinetly earned it this year.

[del1ght]

he reached that mark earlier on more carries. makes sense to me.

[del1ght]

Oh really? He's one of the best big-play backs of all-time.

[del1ght]

50-PLUS RUSHES Barry Sanders (20) Jim Brown (15) LaDainian Tomlinson (14) Fred Taylor (13) Warrick Dunn (12) Robert Smith (12) Tiki Barber (12) 10-PLUS RUSHES Emmitt Smith (437) Barry Sanders (363) Curtis Martin (343) Marshall Faulk (332) Fred Taylor (311)

[kingsauly05]

ya shut up! old or new or young he's a threat wen he puts on his equiptment!

shut da H*ELL up ya are soo desperate to put sum1 down!

ya state the OBVIOUS!

ignorantly though

[cobaltcrusha]

2nd best back? What? Fred Taylor used to be an elite NFL back, but now, he's getting old and Jones-Drew will soon replace his role. He was never a top 5 back in his career, so i don't agree with him being in the hall of fame.

[Element9T8]

Yeah, Freddy... I was at that game. I was actually to the right of your seats, kind of in the middle. At about the 17th row.

[BIGVILLA2006]

only if he was youner he would of went all the way!!!

[KronikalAXE]

I was at that game, we kicked the colts asses

[Zanarific23]

Man, i went to this game but i lost the tickets and didnt find them until about 20 mins before game time and i live like 35 mins away so i missed this run...i pulled up right when the fireworks went off when Jones-Drew scored once again..

[Category5Andrew]

Drop the fragile shit and give the man some love damnit. He's a beast and he should eventually go to the Hall of Fame.

[j23wallace]

your completely right. what people dont know is that hes only missed 8 games out of the last 80. which is 5 seasons. hes the 2nd best back in the league behind lt

[thekidjfh]

Wait, like, the NFL Hall of Fame? Calm down, homer. First, he's gotta be a top 10 back, and he's not putting up anywhere near top-10 numbers right now. Don't cheapen the HoF just to defend this guy.

[Category5Andrew]

Before you type anything else, do you watch the Jaguar games and do you realize that he was part of the third best rushing team in the league last year? If you can honestly answer yes to both of those, continue with your arguement. He's horribly underrated and people need to watch this man before they judge his performance.

[Erickson00]

You need to drop the 'Fragile" tag - he's been solid the last two seasons! He just needed someone to help carry the load. can't wait to see him and Jones-Drew both eclipse 1,000 yards this season.

[wezlee17]

I was at that game...what a great play! GO JAGS!!!

[kingkong56]

wooo i was at that game

[TallTim904]

I was so disappointed he got caught from behind oh well he shouldn't hav been looking.

[MyFootYourFace]

Beast.

[j72088]

yeah that was a sweet run, i was hopping up and down in fron of my tv when i was watching it, too bad he got tackled though.
