I actually really hope Forte signs with the Partiots.

give that poor bastard a chance to win something

I think he'd have to be willing to play for very little because I think they don't have much cap space. -- nm* - Krusty Feb 12, 11:05 2
- I would guess unless the Cowboys overpay him, he will play for a chance to win. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:07 1
  - Sounds about right. I hope the Cowboys overpay him. -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 11:11
Jaguars! -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 10:47
It's a move that makes a lot of sense for them. He's a dual threat, which is what Brady prefers. - David Feb 12, 10:35
He's shown he can catch the ball out of the backfield too. Sounds like a good fit. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:29 22
- it fits in a lot of ways, really. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:30 21
  - feels a lot like the Corey Dillon situation. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:31 20
    - sure, except Forte is miles better than Corey Dillon was -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:31 19
      - I wouldn't say miles. Dillon had 6 consecutive 1000-yard rushing seasons in CIN, and rushed for 1635 his first year with NE. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:35 18
        
        In terms of running the ball, they're about equal, which is to say very good. Forte's the better receiver. -- nm - David Feb 12, 10:39 16
        
        I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:41
        
        receiver and blocker he is fantastic. - groiny Feb 12, 10:41 14
        
        There was a guy on the Falcons board who openly campaigned for us to draft him way back when. - David Feb 12, 10:46 13
        
        he has been mostly underrated his entire career. - groiny Feb 12, 10:49 9
        
        If he'd played in the 90s, he'd be on Wheaties boxes. He's the deluxe version of Eddie George. -- nm - David Feb 12, 10:53 8
        
        I've always seen him as more of a Ricky Watters. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:55 7
        
        That's a good comparison, too. - David Feb 12, 10:58
        
        eh, I think he is closer to Faulk than Watters. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 10:56 5
        
        He's too tall and not talented enough for that. Faulk's one of the three best I've ever seen. - David Feb 12, 11:00 1
        
        I can buy into the Edge compare. - groiny Feb 12, 11:04
        
        but, I never liked Watters all that much. -- nm - groiny Feb 12, 11:00 2
        
        Watters and Forte are near the top of my list of underappreciated guys. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 11:02 1
        
        Watters played on some pretty awesome offensive teams. - groiny Feb 12, 11:06
        
        Oh hey, I have a PFF question for you - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:48 2
        
        I'm going to miss being able to answer these. I really hope they change their mind on this nonsense. - David Feb 12, 10:52 1
        
        Cool, thanks. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 12, 10:54
        
        Forte is a complete back, playing on an offensive challenged team for a chunk of his career. -- nm* - groiny Feb 12, 10:37
