[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 904736, member: 7261"] Good points and I agree for the most part. There is no doubt that the Badgers have produced a lot of great offensive lineman and during that time, have had a lot of successful college running backs. Some of these RB's faltered in the NFL and never lived up to expectations. However, some of them have had very good NFL careers. There are some people who use those failed backs as some kind of proof that Wisconsin only produces good NFL Offensive lineman and they are the ones who made the backs look good. While there is some truth to that, I think enough of the backs that had a great career at Wisconsin and then went on to the Pro's and did the same, should make some of that talk look foolish. Taylor is yet another back that many were already declaring an NFL bust before he was even drafted. So I view those rookie numbers as pretty impressive. The other aspect of some of those failed UW backs to consider, Ron Dayne and Montee Ball come to mind. I don't think it was necessarily their skills or lack there of, at playing football that actually derailed their NFL careers, as much as it was more their life choices that seemed to not work out well. A pitfall of any NFL player, from any college. [/QUOTE]
