In response to "receiver and blocker he is fantastic." by groiny

There was a guy on the Falcons board who openly campaigned for us to draft him way back when.

He still posts there, and he still resents the fact that we drafted Curtis Lofton instead. Given that Lofton is a solid LBer and one of our better recent draft picks, that speaks volumes about how great Forte has been.

Responses:

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
