You don't remember Fred Taylor from the Pats and Jags? LOL....Yes, I had THAT Taylor on my mind and confused with Jackson, LOL.
I still think LeSean's best days are behind him but we'll see.
Oh, okay. Yeah, i now realize why Fred Jackson could have been mistaken for Fred Taylor. I made a similar mistake also. But Jackson was the oldest running back in the league last season and my guess is that he's got at most one more good season in him and i figure he'll likely retire once the next season is over and done with. He's become somewhat injury prone over the past couple of seasons and i suppose that's to be expected for a man his age in the type of sport he plays.
I'm also under the impression that McCoy's best seasons are behind him. But it doesn't mean he cannot still be very productive. He's had great seasons in the past & i'd be surprised if he could repeat them considering he'll be 27 come next season. But Kiko Alonzo may never again play to the level he once did in his only season of pro football. He did undergo major knee surgery which caused him to miss the entire season and the future is unknown. I suppose that it may have been worth the gamble as much as any under those circumstances.
Buffalo needed a reliable quality running back due to the upcoming changes to its offence and trading for one of the top running backs in the game was too good to resist.
