Orton's going to suck ass in Denver this year. Cutler is going to suck ass in Chi-town. And soon, BOTH will come to understand that there are worse things than playing for a team you don't like.
Playing for a team that SUCKS for instance.

so orton threw 3 picks, whatever.
I'm going with Maddens pre-season stance and philosophy on this.
"if my team wins the first pre-season game, i'm making them lose the next two."
seriously, it's week one of pre-season with both teams in new offensive systems. try cutting each of them some slack.

probably not. I'd think maybe 11 or 12

Yes but I bet that Orton can get over playing for a team that sucks fairly soon.

Probably a little early for Forte...
Top ten....
Adrian Peterson... kid is just a machine
Michael Turner... last year was great, but with Tony G in Atlanta now, teams will stack against the run even less.
L. T. ... yes, I know he has been on the decline, but I think he is pissed at people writing him off. I think he has a huge season.
Frank Gore... yes, he plays for San Fran... but he is a very slimmed down version of last year. I think he returns to fighting for the top RB slot.
DeAngelo Williams... ready for a monster year
Jones-Drew... see DeAngelo Williams
Larry Fitzgerald.... I know many don't like taking a WR this high, but Fitz doesn't know how to fail...
Tom Brady... great offensive line, good running game, phenomenal receivers equals another big year for Tommy Boy.
Clinton Portis... can't stand this guy, so I am not going to say anything nice
Brian Westbrook.... all around great back, health is always an issue with him, which is the only reason I drop him this far
next five...
Drew Brees.... should have another big year.
Chris Johnson.... L White is the only reason this kid isn't higher
Matt Forte... once Cutler realizes he has no one to throw to, he will start feeding Forte more to avoid getting his ass kicked. Cause Cutler is a puss like that.
Brandon Jacobs... another good year coming right up
Larry Johnson... yes, this is a bit of a homer pick, but I think he might surprise people
No. I would not.
Check out this site:
http://www.antsports.com/adp.aspx
It provides average draft positions by position based on mock drafts that run on the site. Based on what it says (and historically I find it to be pretty good) Forte is averaging the third overall pick in mock drafts and is being taken from the first overall selection (high in my opinion) to the sixth overall.
If he is there at five it would not be out of the ordinary to select him but for me it would depend on who else may be available.

So I googled 2009 NFL Fantasy Football Mock Drafts and a bunch of sites come up so I just started looking through the various links which sounds like a mini very less scientific version of the site you referenced. And Forte was in the top 6 in most of them. I'm doing the drafting but my partner (we alternate who does the drafting each other) responded 'Hell No!' when I asked him what he thought of Forte at 5. Our draft's not for a few more weeks so I'm in no hurry just with the some of the names Superfreak listed my initial reaction is very skeptical towards Forte. I will check out your site though. Thanks.
Amazing. I've used that site during drafts for years.
It just goes to show you that not only do great minds think alike, but great minds and fair-to-middlin' minds think alike sometimes as well.

No offense Damo but that was actually pretty funny.
You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. I'd say you have a pretty good mind, not "fair to middlin'."

Sanchez did look good for a rookie hope he does well in his start against the ravens.

If someone has a hardon for Forte, then they will drat him when it's their turn. Is he a top 5 back? Not in my opinion. His value goes up a little in PPR leagues, but the guy is still just barely a 1st round pick.
