I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, so since my team faced GB several times in big games during the 1960s, I feel qualified to make a few comments about this Packers player. My earliest recollection while watching Dallas vs Green Bay games is hearing my Dad and my uncle yell at the television "tackle him!", and "stop that SOB!" when #31 was carrying the ball. LOL! There obviously was no stopping Jim Taylor. He would stiff-arm, hit with his helmet, bite, fight, or whatever it took to make a first down. He was simply awesome......and a joy to watch. Players such as Taylor are what pro football is all about. R. I. P. #31 Jim Taylor 🏈
Very underated. Fullback. Loved it when Announcer Ray Scott would say Taylor is finally tackled by Huff , and a host of others. Top 5 back all time in big playoff game. Tough, gritty, in ur face athlete in excellent condition !
Ray Scott, in my opinion, was one of the greatest announcers ever. He could say, "watch paint dry" and I was mesmerized. Interesting, thoughtful and professional. He was always well-prepared.
I'm seventy-eight years old and have followed the Packers since I was a teenager. Jim Taylor is and always will be my favorite Packer. What did Paul Hornung say about him? "Taylor? Oh, he's always good for 1,000 yeads." The best Taylor quote was the one he said to Coach Lombardi who tried to get Taylor to avoid being tackled. "But, Coach," he said wryly, "Ya gotta sting 'em a bit."
I had the pleasure of meeting him when I was a child. Him and his wife were very lovely and kind, I met them on a flight and he told me all about his past. He even let me wear his Super Bowl ring. I hope they rest in peace
I remember seeing him competing in the Superstars TV show years after his retirement, he was in such good shape he looked like could still play football! The one event that really stands out in my memory was a rowboat competition, hit thighs were enormous, like Earl Campbell,of course he won it!
Taylor was before my time, but he reminds me of a Rocky Marciano on the football field. Superb conditioned & Lunatic like focus. They don't really make guys like that anymore.
I had the opportunity to meet and have an extended talk with Jim Taylor after be retired. For a period of time he represented a line of clothing. I went to a Department store to purchase a sports coat. Low and behold the gentleman who fitted me was non other than the recently retired Jim Taylor. He had attended Junior college in our area, so he was familiar with the local. He was pleasant and personable, and he performed the complete transaction. I was completely surprised by this, and showed me one of his super bowl rings that he had on. In person I was surprised by how short that he was compared to television.
+Andrew C. The Safety was Dick LeBeau ... and he started to engage Taylor at the Detroit 40 Yard Line ., Dick was one to sit back and try to intercept Tipped passes , and not Tackle anything that came his way,, How could he be in the Hall of Fame and Not Alex Karras, or Jerry Kramer, who were far superior Football Players.
Brown was the best, but he didn't always finish ahead of Taylor. In 1962 Taylor led the league ahead of Brown. And Brown never matched Taylor's 19 rushing TDs in a season, which was the NFL record for many years.
Jim Taylor was a brutal, tough man who sought out punishment. Jim Brown on the other hand was the greatest player in NFL history. Not fair to compare the two.
A friend of mine who was the middle linebacker for the Minnesota Vikings, Lonnie (Sam) Warwick, has said that the toughest running back he ever played against was Jim Taylor.
That was a great run at 3:47, he knocked over a couple of guys but he waited for his OT to catch up with him to take the last guy out, and he just falls into the end zone.
Seems like I remember a story about Taylor where he was always asking Lombardi if he could be the punter. One day, Lombardi got tired of listening to him, so he said ok lets see what you can do. Taylor took the snap and sent the ball 100 yds straight up in the air. End of Taylor's punting career.
I was at this Game November 6th 1964 at Lambeau Field, and it was Jimmy's Longest Career runs .. Look Frame 3:56 at SO Called Hall of Famer Lion DB # 44 Dick LeBeau ,, at his own 40 yard line, , backing up forever, cant even stick his nose, afraid, to make a tackle on Jimmy Taylor... allowing Jimmy to score on a 84 yard run … what does that say about Dick LeBeau. ? Why is he even on the Field ?
I remember Bart Starr pulling Taylor out of a " dustup" before it escalated to a fight or penalty. Starr grabbed him and pulled him to the bench and all Packer teammates were saying "good job Bart" . Character of a team.
I am not a Packer fan in particular. But a football fan. Question that really bothers me. Why is Jerry Kramer not in the HOF? Can you even coach the position of pulling guard and not mention his name? What a shame.
I don't understand how the guy who threw the most important block on the most important play in the most important game in NFL history could NOT be in the Hall of Fame. Namath is in, with the most crap stats ever...
When I think of who may be the G.O.A.T. offensive guard, I think of Gene Upshaw of the Oakland Raiders. The next one I think of is Jerry Kramer. (And I saw them both play.) Yes, he should have been in the HOF a long time ago . . .
too bad this guy didn't retire as a packer but don't blame him he wanted to retire on a team were he was from. btw it's amazing how articulate they were back then even though they were stereotyped as "dumb jocks."
Jim Taylor was a great team man. He took as much pride blocking for Paul Hornung on the great Packer sweep as he did in his own running. I would rather have had him on my team in his prime than Jim Brown. Why? Though Brown was the best runner of his time, a little known fact is that Jim Brown didn't block for the other backs on his team. For his first five years he didn't block out of disobedience, after that his new coach Blanton Collier just gave up and announced publicly Jim Brown would not be required to block. Who says so? His Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown. Jim Brown did everything he could to sabotage great running back Bobby Mitchell during the four years he was in the Browns backfield. If Jim Taylor had been in that Browns backfield the Browns would have rivalled the Packers and Giants of that era and it would have been the greatest backfield duo ever. NFL films chose the Bobby Mitchell/Jim Brown duo second best ever with Taylor and Hornung at number one. Think of how many more yards Taylor would have had if he didn't have to block. If Jim Brown hadn't refused to block for him, Bobby Mitchell would be known as one of the greatest running backs ever, instead of just being known as one of the greatest Hall of Fame receivers. I would take a great teammate like Taylor over Brown any day. He was a big reason the Packers had all those titles to one for prima donna Jim Brown. So when you compare runners of that era to Jim Brown think of how many more yards they would have had if they hadn't had to block. Leroy Kelly replaced Brown when he retired and was great and gained great yardage but helped his team with his blocking. Ditto Jim Taylor.
Jim Taylor my favorite player growing up in 60s. The man was like granite ,never ran out of bounds .Looked for defenders to run over and he did.I have a custom made jersey of #31. I put it on when I heard of his passing
LOL at Taylor being more punishing than Brown. Do you guys watch NFL films? Brown could literally run through entire defenses. Taylor never did anything like that.
Paul Brown wrote in his book that at one point he considered trading Jim Brown, but the only player of equal value was John Unitas, and PB knew the Colts would never trade Unitas.
Late to the party... I started watching Professional Football in '58 on a little black and white set. The bigger games were always shown but not to the degree of content shown today (one or two cameras only). But you would see the game in its entirety. Fights? You got to see 'em all! Injuries? Camera stayed on the field. I loved Taylor and hated him (I was a Giants fan) as the Packers won (it seemed to my young mind) more often. If it would have been productive he would've run over a tackler and turn around and run over him again. He seldom granted on field commentary and as he said, 'his game was his talk'. Simply put, they don't make 'em like that any more. Nor is the NFL the same as back in that day. Thanks for the memory!
The ‘62 championship between the Giants and the Packers was one of the more brutal in NFL history. The Giants were motivated, having been embarrassed by the Packers 37-0 a year before. Taylor carried the ball 31 times for only 85 yards, but scored the game’s only offensive TD and was named MVP. The Giants hit Taylor with everything they could, often late. After the game, one of the Giant defenders said Taylor couldn’t be human, because no human could have withstood the punishment they inflicted that day.
Jimmy Taylor, was perfect for Green Bay's Ball control offense.. You do not need 80 yard TD runs & passes every Play! You want & need first downs to move the chains . That is why Green Bay has the Most 5 Championships, in the1960's, and the NFL overall 13 times World Champions.
He would destroy some of these wimpish secondary guys playing today. Deon wouldn't be caught dead trying to hit that guy.From the era when men were truly men.
Good point; you know your football (you might find my comment above interesting). Jim Brown was a prima donna who hurt his team not blocking while he padded his rushing totals. Great runner but poor team mate. Taylor took pride in blocking for Hornung and helping his team.
I am a huge Packer fan, and have been so since about 1960. However, you are wrong about Jim Brown as a blocker. He was a very good blocker, you are not being fair.
@@garymorris1856 Yeah, attacking Jim Brown to praise Jim Taylor is unfortunate and misplaced. Two great players and two great men. The only people who didn't like Jim Brown were members of the press he talked down to when they asked stupid questions. For the record he did say he regretted not blocking better. But it's not like he had Paul Hornung as a backfield mate.
I totally agree but the question was based on the runs that were shown and MARSHAWN'S RUN encompassed all of the attributes that constitutes the makeup of a all around RUNNINGBACK on a breakaway long distance run play for a touchdown as he ran over, through,out ran and gave "stay away orders" i.e. stiffarms on his way to the zone for 6. Barry on the other hand did not do all of that is his run that was used to make a decision based upon. We all (or any one with a brain in their head) should without question know that Barry Sanders is arguably the greatest ever (had he not retired early it would not even be up for discussion). So please do not misinterpret what I commented in any way. I am in no ways a fool but, You yourself cannot even argue about which of the two runs that were put up to pick from was the most prolific and the most all around display of the skills,speed and power that is looked for in a runningback. MARSHAWN is and was extremely more physical on his way to the zone throughout his entire career and it was his style of play that Barry went out of his way to avoid and in turn is one of the key contributing factors in his choice to retire early.
All our offenses now are based off of the offenses with O.J. Simpson as halfback. lining up 10 yards being scrimmage with a big blocking back ahead of him. I love watching the variations off the split T offense where carrying the ball was a two man job with inside traps and sweeps. now it's pretty basic, every one has the same playbook. I think we need to do some back to a different time...
@@dhart8451 maybe they should have some type of reverse affirmative action. Like we do with colleges and universities wear under qualified and less qualified blacks are admitted into universities even though they're not as qualified as Asians or other white students.
Look at Frame 4.00 and you See the Slacky Detroit Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau Number #44 Scared and unable to Tackle Jimmy Taylor from the Detroit Lion 40 yard Line. Then Jimmy continues to run for 84 yards for a Touch Down in the First Quarter. I was at this Game November 8th 1964 in Green Bay City Stadium . How Can the NFL Hall of Fame put in Dick LeBeau, who only had 3 Pro Ball Seasons , Originally cut from the Cleveland Browns and Not Jerry Kramer or Alex Karras Ill never Know..
+calforman Its a crime that, because sportswriters who vote hold grudges or resentment against certain players or teams, Karras and Kramer aren't in the hall. Karras was the dominant interior lineman of his era and Kramer is a member of the NFL 50th Anniversary team. Kramer has to be the prototypical pulling guard in NFL history. Great job pointing out LeBeau in the clips!
Thank you Jeff.. I was at that Game, and watched that play all along the sidelines. across the field. I was on the Detroit Lions side. . I still can't believe and Shocked, that Alex Karras is not in the Hall of Fame.. I saw him interview one time, and he said he was shocked that Jerry Kramer was not in the Hall of Fame.. so both players knew who were tough n the League at the Time, when there was only 14 teams in the NFL.. One Time Dan Grimm who replaced Kramer for Injury for , , mad a mockery of Alex Karras in the Press, and said he had no Moves.. while Alex was playing hurt, The Next time the Packers Played Detroit. Guard Dan Grim was almost Killed by Karras .. who attacked him viciously the whole game, and "told him now take these Moves Ass Face" Here's a quote by Cliff Chrystal " Where LeBeau, because he was in the League more, with Coaching, and in the Press' Eyes. The same was true when Dick LeBeau was inducted into the Hall rather than Alex Karras from those great Detroit defenses of the 1960s. Read “Run to Daylight” to get an inkling of what Lombardi thought of LeBeau compared to Karras."

The last block is by the now partly forgotten Bob Skoronski - a man who should be in the HOF as well - in fact who among the Packers of 1960/65 does not deserve the honour?
I really miss what football used to be.
RIP JimTaylor
I do too, I especially have grown tired of all the showmanship, taunting, etc.
Now THIS was football, RIP Jim Taylor!!!!!!!
For sure. I grew up watching the 60s Packers.
Rip Jim. Thanks for everything.

As great as people think Jim Taylor was... he's still underrated.

Back in my pop warner days my coach let me run the ball in our last game.he called me little jimmy taylor.i smiled for 3 days.
Guy was a beast...
❤ Thank you!! Jimmy Taylor was a great player. Thank you loved to see him play. Packers could dominate on offense and defense. Never forget!
He was a hell of a player, back when the NFL was a lot tougher. RIP to a sadly under-rated ball carrier.

My favorite packer of all time
Donald Reaves mine is Brett Hundley .....Skol! Lol. I kid I kid
Great blocking on the long run at 4:00. Bob Skoronski, OT, sprints all the way to the goal line to block the safety, and Taylor waits for him. Smart.

@@calforman he was a better tackler than Dion Sanders who is also in the hall in fact sanders was out right terrible when it came to tackling
Bob skronski not in the hall of fame!
RIP Jim Taylor
not a packer fan,but jim taylor was great.first back to rush for 1000 yds in a season 5 yrs in a row.when a 1000 yds meant something
the guy was a monster
The only guy to interrupt Jim Brown 's streak of rushing titles.
10/13/18. RIP, Jim Taylor.
Peter K first player from the Vince Lombardi era to be In Canton, Ohio.
If you look up Tough in the dictionary it says Jim Taylor!
My type of athlete
I got to see almost all his games, and quite a few live. He'd get really mad if you tackled him hard. Loved his fire.
Jim Brown was the best fullback ever. Jim Taylor was always the 2nd leading rusher in the league.
Brown was the best, but he didn't always finish ahead of Taylor. In 1962 Taylor led the league ahead of Brown. And Brown never matched Taylor's 19 rushing TDs in a season, which was the NFL record for many years.
The first player from the Lombardi era to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1976.
Not many players could stop the Packer sweep..I think every Green Bay offensive lineman back then should be in the HOF.
@John Pottorgg Ringo is already in the HOF. Skoronski belongs there. Now that Kramer is in, he is next on my wish list.
Every bit as good as Jim Brown.
Jim Taylor was a brutal, tough man who sought out punishment. Jim Brown on the other hand was the greatest
player in NFL history. Not fair to compare the two.
Wrong
RIP, Mr. Taylor.
A friend of mine who was the middle linebacker for the Minnesota Vikings, Lonnie (Sam) Warwick, has said that the toughest running back he ever played against was Jim Taylor.

It's utterly disgraceful that Jerry Kramer isn't in the Hall of Fame.

there is no sound to this....it's classic
Top 5...including Marion Motley
My left ear loves this. My right ear cant hear it bec Jim hit me
he always seam to be going forward when he was tackled. when the fullback was the power runner not just a blocker
Straight line from him, csonka then riggins.

This guy is not in the top 100 list ? But he was #2 in rushing yards behind Jim Brown when he retired ?
In my opinion it's a toss up between Taylor, Czonka and Alstott as the best fullbacks ever
Tom Lea Jim Brown was a Fullback, you forgot him. He was the best fullback ever.
Don't forget John Riggins. Jim Brown played fullback, but the Browns used him like a halfback.
1 , 1A , 1B , put them in any order you want . Any one will be correct .

Why aren't their any white backs any longer?
Too slow, same with defensive backs and most of the wide receivers.
@@dhart8451 maybe they should have some type of reverse affirmative action. Like we do with colleges and universities wear under qualified and less qualified blacks are admitted into universities even though they're not as qualified as Asians or other white students.
Compare him to today's prima donnas...

Look at Frame 4.00 and you See the Slacky Detroit Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau Number #44 Scared and unable to Tackle Jimmy Taylor from the Detroit Lion 40 yard Line. Then Jimmy continues to run for 84 yards for a Touch Down in the First Quarter. I was at this Game November 8th 1964 in Green Bay City Stadium . How Can the NFL Hall of Fame put in Dick LeBeau, who only had 3 Pro Ball Seasons , Originally cut from the Cleveland Browns and Not Jerry Kramer or Alex Karras Ill never Know..
+calforman Its a crime that, because sportswriters who vote hold grudges or resentment against certain players or teams, Karras and Kramer aren't in the hall. Karras was the dominant interior lineman of his era and Kramer is a member of the NFL 50th Anniversary team. Kramer has to be the prototypical pulling guard in NFL history. Great job pointing out LeBeau in the clips!
Thank you Jeff.. I was at that Game, and watched that play all along the sidelines. across the field. I was on the Detroit Lions side. . I still can't believe and Shocked, that Alex Karras is not in the Hall of Fame.. I saw him interview one time, and he said he was shocked that Jerry Kramer was not in the Hall of Fame.. so both players knew who were tough n the League at the Time, when there was only 14 teams in the NFL.. One Time Dan Grimm who replaced Kramer for Injury for , , mad a mockery of Alex Karras in the Press, and said he had no Moves.. while Alex was playing hurt, The Next time the Packers Played Detroit. Guard Dan Grim was almost Killed by Karras .. who attacked him viciously the whole game, and "told him now take these Moves Ass Face" Here's a quote by Cliff Chrystal " Where LeBeau, because he was in the League more, with Coaching, and in the Press' Eyes.
The same was true when Dick LeBeau was inducted into the Hall rather than Alex Karras from those great Detroit defenses of the 1960s.
Read “Run to Daylight” to get an inkling of what Lombardi thought of LeBeau compared to Karras."

+calforman the nfc north back in the 60s. All four of those teams had great defenses honestly.
The last block is by the now partly forgotten Bob Skoronski - a man who should be in the HOF as well - in fact who among the Packers of 1960/65 does not deserve the honour?
ex players & coaches should vote on who gets in the NOF not bunch writers who never played or coached the game

RIP Jim Taylor
