Re: Fred Taylor Signed
Great pickup. Certainly adds a different element to the RB corps.
And I would agree his addition does not carry the potential Dillon's did. Dillon did it all in 2004 and had just turned 30 at the start of the season. Taylor may be more capable of playing at 33 than Dillon, but he will be a part of the RB picture, not the whole picture, with a role determined based on how the rest pan out.
I do not read this as having any effect on Morris. I would not be surprised if this does have an effect on a decision to keep Maroney if he does not show up healthy and ready to go full tilt. Great potential, but Patriots do not keep the walking wounded forever based on potential.
