Why Fred Taylor isn't an All Pro

Okay, so at first I was pretty peeved when Fred Taylor was not named as an All Pro for this last decade. I kept wondering why Fred wasn't named and Jamal Lewis was. I can understand why Tomlinson, James, and Alexander were choosen, they were better, but Lewis? I love looking at and comparing stats, when I compared the two players I saw that Jamal Lewis' stat line for the last 10 years looks like this,

Rushing Yards: 10607

4.2 yard, avg 58 TDs

Receiving Yards: 1879

8.5 yard, avg 4 TDs

He did all that in 131 games with 126 starts. Now check out Fred's line.

Rushing Yards: 9585

4.6 yard avg, 46 TDs

Receiving Yards: 1874 8.0 yard avg, 5 TDs

During this span Fred played in 121 games with 115 starts. Keep in mind that 5 of those games he did not start in were with the Patriots.

Even though the stats are in favor of Jamal, I am a Jag Homer and call me crazy but Fred Taylor was a better player than Jamal was. If it was not for the injuries Fred would have been ahead. I think he should have gotten the All Pro stamp but oh well, there's always the Hall of Fame.
