I wasn't a fan of the pick because I wanted offense but Forbes is playing okay. He has tremendous upside. League leader has 7 passes deflected he is sitting top 10 with 5 passes deflected. Tells me he is right there and being aggressive. I am okay with that.
I don't think Forbes is the first rookie to get torched by a couple of all pro WRs, he's definitely had his hands full with the likes of Diggs and Brown. Let's maybe give the kid some time.

He’s not the first or last to get roasted, he’ll get the last laugh when we play Philly again. People here are impatient, look at Howell after the Bills, he sucks!! Start JB, fucking non-sense.

I think the reason (at least for me) that people are a touch down on him is that a lot of us wanted Gonzalez and so far Gonzalez has looked like a star and the cornerstone of the defense in New England. And he has the size too. Forbes has some great traits and I am hopeful he will be pretty good. But will he ever be able to handle the big physical receivers? I'm not convinced.

He must've been getting roasted, he deactivated his Twitter. Hope this doesn't damage his psyche, in this league it's onto the next play.

No downside to getting off Twitter. If I were an athlete or celeb I wouldn't go anywhere near it.

Social media and being a professional athlete should be like oil and water. But they're young people that are just like most of their peers, they just happen to be really good at sports too.

Forbes will get a pick tomorrow. Book it.

Yeah I hear you, but he's 4 games into his career. Plenty of rookies struggle out of the gate, and some guys look great early on and fade. Have to give him time.

I agree, and hope the FO made the right choice!! Only time will tell.
