Matt Forte's carries have been in the top 10 2 of 3 seasons and EASILY would be about top 5 this season if he hadn't missed the last two games. His 316 in 2008 was good for 4th in the NFL, and his 237 in 2009 was 8th. Assuming he'd have gotten about 15 carries per game the last two weeks, his total would've been 233. One short of Frank Gore and Ray Rice, two of your franchise backs, and being tied for 5th most in the NFL.
As far as his receiving stats, do you actually research your bullshit or do you just look at things and form an opinion? Wait, don't answer that, we already know.

Looks like the definition of a franchise player to me
