He can knock people over and still has the speed to make long runs. He also caught 63 passes last year. With a year under his belt and Jay Cutler in Chicago hes going to be that much better in 2009.

Statistically, and wisdom alone I would have to go with Portis. If you are talking about age, future of the team, and being on the rise then yes I would take Forte.

Again all I was trying to point out was that I thought we were ranked rather low in regards to some teams who sit above us. I would definitly put us ahead of Chicago, perhaps Dallas cause I think they are going to have trouble this yr, the Eagles cause they still have not proved anything other then Westbrook who is usually injured half a season.
