Knowshon can do everything Forte can do and was a better back coming out of college than Forte. Knowshon is the most complete RB to come out since LT.

I wouldnt be surprised if he averaged 5/carry, hes a solid back and Denvers line is a good one. But I doubt very highly he is anywhere near a league leader in the Perkins-Ernhart spread system Josh is installing.
His ability to block blitzing linebackers and to sell fakes and recieve dump offs and turn them into big gains will dictate his success in the offense alot more than his consistant ability to run between the tackles as Forte did. If he misses a couple key blocks on a player like Shawne Merriman or Derrick Burgess, or any of the other premier pass rushers he will have to help the team block, you will be posting some homer shit that you are better off with Simms anyway.
Hester was never really a cb atMiami, he played many positions including wr. He never had a home position and thats the biggest reason he slipped a bit in the draft.
I look for a couple wrs in chicago to "come out of nowhere" now that they have a real nfl qb throwing the ball. Similar to when Brees first went to NO.
Good qbs make recieving corps better. They take 4th rounders and make them weapons. Cutler was one of those, Orton isnt.
blind homerism is a disease
