I don't feel like I am,

like I said this dude got a bad hand last year and still was a monster

GB wanted RB by committee
no Rodgers - stacked boxes and playing from behind
early season concussion
late season ankle (not very serious one)
a HC who kind of sucks at situational playcalling (throw throw throw)

all that, and he still just crushed it...you could see a shift in McCarthy's playcalling as he kept performing well.

this year, Rodgers is back (no stacked boxes, playing with leads), lacy has more experience, more offseason work, is the undisputed bell cow, what's not to like?

is forte not a risk. he has an injury history, and the bears have a history of throwing on the goalline. Also, the bears have a porous defense. Look at how teams ran the ball on them. Yeah, trestman offense is really impressive, but it's possible the bears are going to be throwing a lot

I'd rather have the guy who gets more carries than more receptions...I'm a Tulane guy and I wouldn't take forte until Peterson, McCoy, lacy, and Charles are off the board

we're talking about the difference between the 4th best RB and the 5th...is it that crazy?

Wat

He has played 94% of possible games over 6 seasons. Find me a RB with more durability.

Lacy is the one with a lengthy injury history. Hasn't played a full season dating back to HS.
