Hell, I'd bet this is Taylor's last year in the league as it is. Sooner or later, JDR will realize that MJD is the horse he should be riding...

You gotta think long term but not TOO long. Who knows how long the league will actually last and I'd mortgage the future to win now.
LJ and Portis are both under 30 and get a full workload. Last year Portis had 1200+ yds and 11TDs. Taylor is not constantly missing time. He's been a lot more durable the last 5 years missing 8 games in that span (5 of those 9 coming in 2005). As far as him slowing down? The last 2 seasons he's had a higher YPC than any of his 8 previous years.
