Forte had a chance to go play for glory instead he picked the Jets and will be forgotten within NFL circles in about a year after he retires.

One asterisk.... If he plays 3 more years and puts up similarly consistent numbers, he will be a shoe in...

Although his career isn't over I'd still say no atm.

Nope. Good all around back, but no hall of famer.

Neither is Frank Gore, but his longevity and maintaining that steady level over such a long time tells me he likely gets in.
Matt is going to have a much more difficult time, as this year threw him way off track. Got banged up and missed some games, and barely played in others. He probably needs 3 more solid years to be in the conversation, and that's an uphill climb for older backs.

He was on pace to be a HOF guy and fell off the age 30 cliff (like so many other running backs)
I thought he had it in him with the lack of significant injuries, but age seemed to catch him anyway.
It is a shame- loved him as a player, and really would have loved to see him make it.

He didn't fall of the age 30 cliff. At age 30 with the Bears he averaged over 4 YPC and scored 7 total TDs.
Even last season with the Jets he scored 8 total TDs. Sure is YPC is below 4 now but running the ball isn't what makes Forte a really good back.

Homer Bears fans? The vote tally at the time you posted was Ayes 1, Nays 14. Or are you suggesting Forte is not even worthy of the question being asked? If that's the case then you're just a turd
. Yes, with a name like Asswipe, I should know.
