Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2229572, member: 1853"] Taylor has quite simply not yet lived up to his 'potential' or hype. Yep this past few weeks he has played awesome, but like Rock said, it has taken 20 weeks of this season for him to show form. I have said it before and will say it again - first grade props are NOT 20/21 - they are mid 20s to mid-3os. They should not be rushed into first grade and need to be given the time to develop. This has been the crux of the problem between Taylor and the Broncos - he thought he should be playing first grade every week, the coaching staff wanted him to take the time in the lower grades to develop properly. His attitude and his on field performance the past couple of years and early this year was that he did not agree with the Broncos' plans for him to take the time to develop properly into a truly great prop, Souths offered him a ton of money and the promise of regular First Grade, so he took it and good luck to him, most people would do the same thing in his position. I expect that like all young forwards that are rushed into first grade (eg Sonny Bill), over the next couple of years he will start to develop quite a few injuries, as his body is not yet ready for the demands of a full time first grade forward. I hope I'm wrong and I hope he does become the great prop that he still has the potential to be (and yes it is still just potential at this stage IMO). But I think the Broncos were right to let him sign with Souths - there is no way he is yet worth the reported $300,000 a season Souths will be paying him. [/QUOTE]
