Additionally I am proud of all the success you have had and wish you nothing but the fastest recovery ever!

PS, you have a nice smile, and you know what they say about that!...? ...Anyhow, Godspeed to you and in the mean-time get the nose in that playbook. Future is looking better each passing day. Get well!

And we have 3 other tight ends who should be red zone options. But Fortson is going to do something they can't?
Y’all can’t see the difference in ability and play style between the three white dudes and Fortson? The guy has a big catch radius, is athletic, and can get air. Maybe it’s anecdotal, and without access to advanced stats I can’t source, but I feel like he’s had several targets in the end zone. [Reply]

4 TD on 14 receptions isn't 'nothing', you're just trying to be a hardass... he was activated to the 53 by people I'll go ahead and trust more than you [Reply]
He's been good in the red zone so I can't hate on it. We desperately need to be better there. However it does appear it is quite an indictment on Wiley's progress. [Reply]
The fact is the last two times Fortson was healthy on the roster our offense was very good. Wiley has done well blocking at times but Jody obviously knows the system right now better than him. Hopefully Andy will find more ways to get him involved this time. [Reply]

The people you trust didn't bother tendering him an RFA offer, didn't match the 1 million dollar contract Miami gave him, then let him sit on the couch for a month after he was cut. [Reply]

I think that’s more a reflection on who was on KCs roster when those decisions were made than Fortson’s talent or fit in the offense.
Probably don’t need Fortson with Brown and Rice out there. [Reply]
