Chester Taylor Taylor was a elite third down back in 08 behind Petterson but now his name is lost in the shuffle of RB. How? Well in 2002 he joined the Baltimore Ravens but started slowly getting just 122 yards in 14 games. But after 2 years with Baltimore his big day came. He had a 700 yard season but then Dropped dramatically. There is no explanation to his decline but he left for Minny after that year. In Missesota he became a core contributor 3rd down back who helped the Vikings reach the Conference finals in 10. His stats over his 4 year Viking Tenure are 17 Rushing TD`s, 2 Passing. He had a career year in 2006 when he had his first ( and only) 1200 yard season. He left minny for money and found it in Chicago sadly he also only found the End zone 3 times that season. In the 2012 off season he signed with the cards. Apparently Greet got the best of him.
Sammy Morris Morris is a journey man who has played since 2000 on a total of 3 teams. Morris has played for the bills where he became a 3rd back after a horrible rookie year. He signed a contract to play in Miami for three years in which he had a five hundred yard season and became more of a FB than a RB. He then set forth in Boston as a FB. He had a career year in 08. He played for the pats four two more years but additions of Fred Taylor, Ben Jarvis Green Ellis, Danny Woodhead , Laurence Maroeny and Patrick pass took away his carries. When pass retired he became there starting FB. He was a victim of age and Depth. He was released by the pats in 2011.
Kevin Faulk Kevin was one of the best 3rd down RB ever and now he’s a injured role player. Kevin was there Main RB in 2011 when he tore his ACL but was resigned he has seen 11 seasons as a pat. In 1999 he was taken with the 42 pick and became a household name in NE. Kevin is THE BEST THIRD DOWN BACK IN PATS HISTORY. His career high 630 yards in 2003 were a career high but also posted strong Numbers when healthy. His career 3550 yards seems low but for a third down back that’s great. He also has won three championships but after a bad 09 season he tore his ACL to start off 10 and will miss most of 11.
Jeroius Norwood started off strong by delivering back to back 600 yard seasons to start his career. He was labeled a star or a would be but then he fell down to 459 yards and people began to question his health and ability. He was worse the next year getting just 200 yards but missed the last half of the year. He now has tailed off so far he had just 8 yards last year but played 2 games.
Peyton Manning Story
Manning is having Another Surgery on his neck. I Called this 6 weeks ago!!!! Manning might miss the rest of the season. He could be the difference maker in the colts championship chance. If he doesn’t play Kerry Collins will start. Expect a healthy Manning to get 4500 yards, 30 TD`s and 375 completions while Collins is more likely to get 1500 yards, 200 Completions and 10-15 TD`s. Manning had A cervical fusion surgery and the normal recovery time is 4 months. Manning is a top ten QB when healthy but I think he will be out at least until the playoffs. Painter is there third string. It also has been confirmed by the colts that Kerry Collins will start the season opener against the Texans.
