  1.  

    Consensus opinion because he's twice first team All Pro and once second team. That is the measurement, although no measurement or award is perfect. But that is the standard in the NFL. And if you look at that team every year, it's hard to argue with it as faulty, although obviously there are guys some think belong there and others don't.

     

    And it's self-evident that in one game, a great back is not going to be treated as a bigger threat than another great back. Unless you think a coach is going to tell his players "Hey, we have been watching tape and we think Matt Forte is clearly better than Jamaal Charles, so you guys don't have to prepare as hard for the Chiefs as you did for the Bears."

     

    So yes, I agree with you, Charles doesn't pose a bigger threat than Matt Forte, who is clearly a great player.

     

    Alright, cheers. =D

  2. A one game sample is nothing.

     

    I think the way the Bills are playing right now, at home, they can shut him down.

     

    But saying a healthy Jamaal Charles is not a scary player to defense is lunacy IMO. It's consensus opinion except for you that he is one of the scariest players in the league.

     

    Consensus opinion because you and one other guy keep saying he's head-and-shoulders better than Forte? Ok....

     

    Again you keep missing the point. Who cares if a one game sample is small? Why would I care about who is better between Forte and Charles after week 10? The one game sample is ALL that matters, and in that one game sample Charles isn't going to pose any more of a threat than Forte did.

  3. As much as I (don't) enjoy arguing which RB on other teams is better, you guys still seem to be missing the point. The whole conversation started with us talking about Charles and if he was head-and-shoulders above the other RBs we've already faced, and that he poses a unique threat when we play the Chiefs next week. He definitely doesn't.

  4. The key is this season. Charles is considered the better player career wise like Kelly states.

     

    Forte has over 1,000 rushing yards more than Charles and over 1,400 more receiving yards than Charles during their careers and they both started in the league in 2008. He also has more touchdowns. I'm not sure what sane coach would choose Charles over Forte.

     

    The whole point is that Charles isn't any more of a threat to the Bills' defense in week 10 than Forte was in week 1, and we won that game on the road.

  5. Not only debatable. Incorrect.

     

    Jammin Charles > Matt Forte. Much greater.

     

    Let's take a look at their performances this season.

     

     

    YARDS

     

    Week 1

    Charles: 19 rushing/15 receiving

    Forte: 82 rushing/87 receiving

     

    Week 2

    Charles: 4 rushing/8 receiving

    Forte 21 rushing/15 receiving

     

    Week 3

    Charles: OUT

    Forte: 33 rushing/43 receiving

     

    Week 4

    Charles: 92 rushing/16 receiving yards

    Forte: 122 rushing/49 receiving

     

    Week 5

    Charles: 80 rushing/4 receiving

    Forte: 61 rushing/105 receiving

     

    Week 6

    Charles: BYE

    Forte: 80 rushing/77 receiving

     

    Week 7

    Charles: 95 rushing/12 receiving

    Forte: 49 rushing/60 receiving

     

    Week 8

    Charles: 67 rushing/44 receiving

    Forte 114 rushing/54 receiving

     

    What about any of those weeks supports your claim that Charles is better than Forte?

  6. You have to admit...that is a pretty nice freebie coming to us.

     

    It is. I debated for awhile whether or not to accept it because I obviously hate the guy that filed it and thought he was a scumbag, but considering they have to pay out xxxxx amount regardless of whether some of it is to me or not, and considering how many thousands of dollars I've spent on tickets and merchandise over the years, I said screw it. So they send me a $75 certificate that I'll use to get an A. Williams jersey at their store. The actual jersey probably doesn't even cost them half that. I don't feel bad.

     

    The reason I know they had to send them out by 11/1 is because I'm in the process of moving and wanted to make sure I had my change of address filed in time, so I looked up the class action's website and found the details.
