That's the larger one of the two so it constitutes a somewhat bigger bet than the right one.
Just thought you guys should be aware of that if anyone is thinking of calling Claws bet. 
I'm getting to that age where a lifetime warranty just doesn't mean as much to me anymore as an afternoon nap.

LOL, oh great you only lose the bet I lose my left nut! Ah what the hell I'm done havin' kids and it just gets in the way sometimes anyway. Just hangin' around not doing anything even remotely useful anymore. 
I think you've got a good point about the RB of the future. Actually Forte is somewhat of a prototype for that style of back. Even when a guys is averaging 4.5 ypc carry a good back may average close to twice that as a receiver. That sure lends itself to throwing to him more often than running him where he's not built to go.
Maybe we see that type of guy teamed with a really huge 280-290lb RB for short yardage and goaline plays. The 250-260lbs guys even seem small these days compared to the size of some of the Dlineman.
