Besides that he's a well known, proven player. TT's style is a no name street FA that went to the U of BFE.
HOFer
Everyone said the same thing about us getting Julius Peppers too. I think Thompson may tend to take a flier on a guy like Peppers or Forte more when they previously played for another team in the division, where he saw the guy perform twice a year against his guys.
Forte is a perfect fit for this offense right now. We need a capable receiving threat out of the backfield, and Forte can still provide that in abundance for a couple more years. Forte isn't a guy who can handle a 200+ carry workload anymore, so platooning would help extend his career. I just can't see many teams throwing money at Forte, and he's only going to consider going to a handful of teams. The price may be good enough to tempt Thompson to take a hard look...and the Packers are clearly pissed off at Lacy enough to view a capable insurance policy as necessary.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
