    Matt Forte Is The Most Underrated Player In Football

    Matt Forte's Projection for this year based on 6 games (more than 1/3 the season so I don't want to hear "small sample size"):

    1405 rush yards, 1016 receiving yards, 5.3 yards per carry, 10.6 yards per catch




    Marshall Faulk in 1999:

    1381 rush yards, 1048 receiving yards, 5.5 yards per carry, 12 yards per catch





    Matt Forte, who is playing on an average offensive team with a terrible offensive line, is putting up numbers that Marshall Faulk put up in his career season. I can't even imagine what kind of numbers he would put up playing behind say Oakland's offensive line. So is there any doubt now that Forte is the most underrated player in football??? The fact that he doesn't show up on every single person's top 3 list for running backs in the league is a travesty

    agree Forte is a beast...I also think Hakeem Nicks is one of the most underrated players in the league.

    Forte is awesome. Roddy White is another underrated player.

    Having a poor offensive line makes it hard for any running back to make plays.
