8. I think next October we'll all be writing, "Wow. I never thought the biggest impact player in free agency would be Chester Taylor with the Vikings." Prediction: Chester Taylor outgains Edgerrin James in 2006

this guy usually knows what hes talking about.not to mention hes one of the hall of fame voters

His logic with the hutchenson situation is interesting

lol, people are already making those predictions. I don't put that much credibility into what Peter King says. I would love to see Taylor outgain Edge but my guess is that Edge will be the feature back and Chester will do a lot of sharing and not get the 25+ touches per game that Edge will get. We'll see. I like the prediction though, pretty bold since very few could even come within 70% of the 53-man roster predictions for next year.

Thats good for us!

Let the speculation begin!

I think that if taylor is the featured back, I would agree with King

Who cares about who rushes for what yardage? Let's just win some damn football games.

that'd be nice but i won't be sold on Chester until I can see him play a few games...

**V4L** · 03-13-2006, 10:39 PM

Yah who knows..

If Chester gets more then 10 carries a game he could have a shot at that...

Not to mention we will be passing alot.. That's more yards there

I like Peter King for his articles, but he's wasn't great at picking the games this year. I hope he's right. I know that when Taylor did play this year, I was impressed, and I'm sooo glad we didn't get Jamal Lewis.

I like Peter King for his articles, but he's wasn't great at picking the games this year compared to some of the other writers. I hope he's right. I know that when Taylor did play this year, I was impressed, and I'm sooo glad we didn't get Jamal Lewis.
