Forbes will be just fine, he’ll gain weight during the offseason. The kid has heart and is competitive, getting burned pissed him off. He’ll bounce back and be great. I’m not worried.

Gotta see how he handles adversity - hope it lights the fire under him. I don't want to see him moping on the sidelines anymore.

IMO, with Forbes its not about fire. He has plenty of fire. Actually its part of the issue as he is over aggressive and because of it bites on things like double moves to much. The aggression is killing his play. He needs to learn to play more disciplined. Hopefully he starts to show that.

Right. This is the pros. You aren’t going to jump routes quite as easy as you did in college. Well you can jump them but the balls are faster and more accurate and the wr’s are more physical. Definitely needs to play more disciplined. Like a RB that realizes he needs to be patient and follow his blockers.

Thanks, but I'm talking about his internal drive and ability to bounce back from a bad game lol. How does he handle adversity? Hopefully he has better results tonight.

I re-watched the game and after getting burned he was competitive in OT and looked like it didn't faze him.

Nothing wrong with the guy being upset about poor play. Rather him mope than be laughing. Shows he cares. Im sure he will come out fired up. This guy was supposed to be Carlos Rogers with hands made of pillows instead of stones. Hope that turns out to be the case.

ok....but he is literally not playing and Forbes still is

plus we have a sample size of 4 games and Forbes, barring a injury, has his entire rookie season to learn, Gonzalez will be home trying to get better
