Wherever Chest Taylor goes, pro-bowl success follows. However, it is usually for the player that is starting ahead of him, as opposed to Taylor himself. Taylor has been a running back staple for eight years. And in those eight years, he backed up Jamal Lewis, who rushed for 2000 yards one year, and Adrian Peterson, who is arguably the league’s best running back. In Chicago, Matt Forte is hoping for a big season after rushing for just 929 yards in the 2009 campaign.
After his 1000-yard plus season in his rookie year, Bears fans were hoping that Forte would become one of the NFL’s elite running backs. But after a shaky sophomore season, the hope seems to be diminishing. But after acquiring Chester Taylor, there is some more hope. Although it may just be a coincidence, Taylor does seem to help the success of others. And the Bears would like nothing more than for that trend to continue.
