Fred Taylor HOF finalist

That's a good indication that he will eventually be enshrined, although it may take some time to get there. In my opinion, he is certainly deserving of this honor but has been penalized because he plays for the Jaguars, Coughlin took him out often on goal line plays (lack of touchdowns) and only made one pro bowl as a replacement for another injured player (lack of respect for Jaguars). Very hard to argue the fact that he's deserving since he is only 1 of 3 players to have averaged 4.6 ypc with a total of greater than 2500 carries. The other 2 were Barry Sanders and Adrien Peterson- not bad company! Of course, all one has to do is watch some of his tape and there would be no debate necessary.

Guys like AP coming eligible in the coming year(s) though will hurt him in the short run.

I think he is certainly deserving, and HOF worthy RB will certainly be a dwindling number as the shield continues to trend more toward the pass game each day. Fred may be one of the last old-school RB to get in.
