for crying out loud, have a sense of humor. everybody i think already knows how i am, it doesn't need to be broken down. my concern is that you're fighting homerism with more homerism in this thread. but saying forte is just above average because he averaged less than 4 ypc while paying no attention to the scrubs that were blocking for him, or the fact that he was going up against 8 in the box on every play borders on meatballery. peterson is great, we all know it, and everyone that i know gives him his credit. nobody is really comparing peterson to forte except to say that forte had more yards from scrimmage in his rookie year. anyone with eyeballs can tell you that there's not much of a comparison. but luckily, if favre is back, there isn't going to be much of a comparison between him and cutler, either. besides his fluke season the year before last, he's been pretty average to bad over the last 4 years, almost bear-like. i wouldn't say he's so much declining as he's declined completely. the vikings would be smart to just go with rosenfels. maquoketa represent woot!
