Where would Ramonce Taylor stand in UT football history had he never gotten into any trouble?

[Goo Punch 4,275]

He burst onto the scene after we lost Ced B to graduation, Erik Hardeman to the very same type of problems that would later kill RT's career, and an early season ankle injury to Selvin Young. He appeared out of nowhere (not to those who followed him in HS obviously) he dominated immediately, and he never looked back. He's pound for pound probably one of the 5 or 6 best football players to ever play here. Certainly top 10. He's a national title game hero, and one of the freakiest athletes to ever wear burnt orange, every bit as freaky as Metcalf, or Robsion, or Goodwin, if not even more so.

So, where would he rank all time in UT player history had he never gotten trouble? What's crazy to think about is that the game has changed so much since 2005 that a guy like RT would be gone to the NFL in today's game after having the season he did in 2005. He'd probably be a damn top 15-20 pick. But as i recall he was going to return, and would have been the focal point of our offense in what was already a pretty good team. You have to imagine that he would have won some national accolades, and could have even been in the Heisman race. Of all of the "What could have been" stories from Texas- Rosie Leaks, Mossy Cade, Mike Wacker, Colt McCoy, and so on- I think that RT is right up at the top with any of them in terms of potential greatness that didn't come to fruition for one reason or another.

Off season...

Since I was not around for the majority of Texas football I can not say. Most of these are silly discussion points centered around recent memory. I would however put his skill above Kyle Porter, and his head below Brett Robin’s skill.

[Hank Chinaski 6,357]

He was only going to be a junior in '06, correct? So assuming he played in '06-'07, I'm not sure he would have had a much larger role than he did in '05. Jamaal Charles was a better RB and he was there both of those years (and was maybe the best back in college football in '07). Selvin Young was still there in '06 also. He could play WR too, but probably not much more featured than he was in '05. 

Ramonce was really good, and could have been great, but not sure he would have been a top-10 player in program history.

Adding RT to that 2006 squad (with an improving JC splitting carries) would have helped Colt that much more. Would it have made us beat Ohio St in Austin? Probably not but who knows if RT breaks a KR, short pass, or slot reverse to the house. He definitely could’ve/would’ve pushed us over KSU and A&M that year. You are looking at 11-1/12-0 regular season and a berth in a BCS game if not championship game. That level of exposure and success along with the sick stats he’d have piled up, and you’d think he’d be no worse than a 3rd round pick. He’d be beloved by UT fans to a greater extent than Jamaal Charles, Roy Williams, and others if the above scenario had played out with back-to-back BCS CG appearances and the second with a RS-FR QB. Had he put up Heisman contending stats, sky’s the limit.

He's a national title game hero

No, he was not a "hero" of our title win over USC.  He had 4 carries for a total of 12 net yards.  Yes, he had a nice 30 yard touchdown run in the second quarter to give us 6 of our 41 total points.  But he was not a hero of that game.

And yes, he could be electrifying, but he was not "dominating."  Here are his stats before he got himself kicked off the team after the 2005 season:

2004:  284 rushing yards, 64 receiving yards.

2005:  513 rushing yards, 265 receiving yards.

And if he had stayed on the team, he would have been behind Jamaal Charles for the 2006 and 2007 seasons (and probably Selvin Young in the 2006 season). 

To answer your question, I can't really speak to players before 1994, the year I got to Texas and became a Longhorn fan.  If Ramonce stayed healthy and out of trouble, I'd rank him below the likes of Vince, Colt, Ricky, Cedric, Jamaal, Roy, Quan, Shipley, Derrick Johnson, Earl Thomas, Quentin Jammer, Tony Brackens, Michael Huff, Aaron Ross, David Thomas, Casey Hampton, Brian Orakpo, and Dan Neil.  I could probably name some others.  So not sure he'd make my top 20.

Remember: Ramonce was kicked out of school for grades before the drug thing ever happened.

RT was a freak athlete, but he was not especially great as either a WR or RB. He was a great tweener. He was tough for other teams to account for regardless of where he lined up. As Mack said at the time, Ramonce was the fastest player he had ever coached, and that included guys like Michael Huff.

He was the most explosive all around play maker Texas has had in my lifetime, and a Reggie Bush/Percy Harvin/Tavon Austin type of player. He would have had a monster season and, with the way Texas played that year before Colt's injuries, would have been the star player on a potentially top 10 team.

uh, i'll go ahead and call anyone who scored a 30 yard TD in the greatest game of all time vs the greatest team of all time a title game hero without a second thought. Griffin and Huff and our secondary got torched and abused all second half and couldn't stop USC's WR's at all. Are they also not allowed to be called national title game heroes? It's only Vince, and I guess David Thomas? No way.

As for using his stats as evidence that he's somehow not one of the best football players we've ever had, that is completely disingenuous. Do you think that he would have had those same numbers if you replaced Percy Harvin at Florida or Tavon Austin at WVU with RT? Of course not. He's every bit the player both of those guys were if not better, despite the overwhelming statistical difference.

His talent is unquestioned, the only real question about his production would be how well GDGD utilized him. And as others have noted, Texas had a pretty damn good team that year that only would have been that much better with RT. He'd have been a huge contributor on a highly ranked team that could have won another BCS bowl. To use his stats against him is either disingenuous or short sighted at best.

Tavon Austin in 2012- 114 catches, 1,289 yards, 12 TD

72 carries, 643 yards (8.9/rush), 3 TD

186 scrimmage touches, 1,942 yards, 10.4 yards per touch, 15 TD

dont tell me that RT's stats tells the story. he and Tavon Austin are at least equals as college football players, even if the stats are insanely different. blame the era and the OC, don't diminish the player because of his circumstances.

big time. hence my comment about his draft status were he playing his college ball today. a player who has his 2005 season for any of the recent Bama or Clemson teams is a first round pick easy, and possibly even a top 10 pick after his combine/pro day performances.

 

[Helobious 9,818]

Lol at “national title game hero”

He was a very good player, heavy on talent but very light on football smarts. Truly great players have both those skills, so Ramonce would never have been an all-time great if he never got in trouble. He probably would’ve just repeated his sophomore year stats his junior year, maybe adding a couple hundred yards to each total. His skillset is more useful today than it was back then.

[Walden Ponderer 12,639]

RT not in trouble would rank right behind Edwin Simmons with self-discipline. That 1983 8+ ypc average had us all thinking he really was the second coming of Earl. And RT had us all thinking Eric Metcalf had come again.

Neither was true.

[Machinator 32,103]

If you had to compile a list of "heroes" from the title game, he would not crack anyone's top 5.

No, Ramonce was no more a hero in that title game than Selvin Young was, which is to say neither were a hero. And on that TD, Ramonce had a hole so wide that Mark Mangino could’ve run through it.

And I’m just answering your question, which I quote for you since you seem to have forgotten it: “So, where would he rank all time in UT player history had he never gotten trouble?”  Stats play a big part of a player’s ranking among the Longhorn greats, regardless of whether a player has the misfortune of sharing snaps with guys like Cedric Benson, Selvin Young, and Jamaal Charles.  Unfortunately for you, that’s where Ramonce was during his time at Texas and where he would remain had he not been booted from the team.

There’s nothing disingenuous about considering stats when ranking the all-time greats on the college or pro level.  Your nostalgic what-might-have-been boner for Romance is preventing you from understanding that.

Yeah I agree mostly, just saying I don't think he would have been used like Harvin/Tavon Austin in 06-07. If your point is about his physical ability, I'm with you; I just don't think he would have been used enough in the Mack/GD offense to generate the production - given the other guys on the team, the scheme (generally fairly conservative), etc. But yeah - he absolutely makes the 06-07 teams much better on offense. 

As for explosive playmakers - I'd put Jamaal Charles ahead of Taylor.

there's a nearly 5 minute video of him doing this kind of shit, i agree with the previous opinions that he wasn't a pure RB or a pure WR, but holy shit trying to account for shit like this with Jamaal Charles on the field as well would not have been easy  in 2006

I thought I was supposed to be the overly sensitive one who couldn't handle a differing opinion? sorry for touching a nerve.

first off i obviously disagree with your take on what a constitutes a championship game hero, and i'm very curious to hear who all you'd consider to be a championship game hero from 2005. My guess is that your view on this in the minority compared to most fans. 

second, your entire argument boils down to, "he doesn't have all time great stats therefore he could never be considered an all time great at Texas". you seem to be opposed to considering any context *but* stats, which is a weak argument when we're talking about capturing the hearts of the fans who root for you. Texas went 24-1 in RT's two years here and then won 10 more games the next year, which surely would have been more with RT in the squad. If RT's teams finish with a three year record of 36-2 or thereabouts, three BCS bowl wins, and a national title, then imo there's every chance that RT would have been considered a Texas football legend, with an all time great highlight reel to boot.

I’m on this one. I said it in the Rose Bowl. I thought that he had a more than legit shot at the Heisman. He had the fastest field speed I’ve ever witnessed. When he walked on a rope and made the corner against Mizzou, I thought he was all-time type special. There were dozens and dozens of times he was carrying the ball past someone that looked as if they were standing still.

The speed was absolutely lethal. Lethal as fuck.

I agree with you re: our offense not being tailored (no pun intended) to his skill set. I would just point that the exact phrase I used was "most explosive all around play maker", due to his versatility. he caught passes, he got carries, he returned kicks; remember this stat from 2005: only Reggie Bush, VY, and RT had a catch, throw, and run of 50+ yards all in that one season. RT made plays all over the field in a way that no other player in UT history did, and it only would have been that much more significant with an extra year.

I think the three best football players on the team were VY, Huff, and RT. One is the actual GOAT, and the other is one of the best college DB's of his generation. That's the group he's in on the 2005 Texas team in my book. That's pretty elite status.

I can see him helping push the 2006 squad up to 11-1 and getting us to a BCS bowl had he stuck around. That squad had an amazing receiver corps and a great true running back with Jamaal Charles. Having him on the field in his hybrid role would have made it a nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators. Also, like mentioned above, he would have taken some pressure off of Colt McCoy and maybe not have forced him to run as much (possibly preventing KSU injury). Either way, 2006 would have been a much more memorable year.  

If he had made it to 2007, Colt's sophomore slump may not be as severe and he could push us to win over OU, getting us to 10-2 and potentially a BCS bowl, as well.

As far as national/all-time relevance goes, he would always have been hamstrung by the coaching staff. We could have the same debate about Marquise Goodwin and Jerrod Heard (as QB). Judging based on his athleticism and on-field performance, I believe he could have been a Tavon Austin or De'Anthony Thomas level player when paired with a good offensive mind at HC/OC. 

I also would love to see what Tom Herman and Co. would do with a player like that.

Brian Robison was a better athlete than Jamaal. So was Huff. We probably had even more guys, but I don't feel like thinking that hard over something so obvious.

Jamaal's best traits as a pure athlete are his speed and his ability to change directions, he's at best RT's equal in speed, and they're pretty damn close agility wise. RT is also bigger, taller, stronger, can jump higher, can jump farther, can play multiple positions, has better hands, and could have played major D-1 hoops or been a major D-1 track athlete at more than just sprints.
