His combination of Vision, patience and elusiveness is absolutely incredible. There were 3 or 4 runs in this game that Forte made that I don't think any other back in the league could have made (the 13 yard run where he went all the way to 1 side and then all the way back to the other side was spectacular, the 9 yard run where there was an all out blitz and forte still found a way to sliver thru tiny holes was just unreal)
The more you watch him play, the more he you realize he's a modern day Marshall Faulk (not as good of a short distance back but everything else, he does every bit as well as Faulk did - that 13 yard cutback run was vintage Marshall Faulk). I realize Forte fumbled a couple times but that's a complete anamoly - Forte is one of the most surehanded guys in the league so that's not anything I would worry about going forward
I really think he's gonna finish this season with 2200-2400 total yards - my guess is somewhere around 1600-1800 yards rushing (the bears offensive line keeps gaining more and more confidence and their schedule gets way easier) and 600 yards receiving
