Do SOMETHING JERRY!!!!!!!!!!

Badger has Arod and Sheets. So it could have been worse

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 15, 2009 -> 12:46 AM) eh, a washed up Ahman Green averaged 4 yards a carry over 74 carries, and Slaton averaged 4.8. I'd say the Texans OLine is just fine. It's a completely different scheme than that of the Bears, but if Matt Forte had a line of that caliber or any semblence of a passing game opposite him, he probably would have run for 1500 yards. I'd say having Andre Johnson helps open up the running game too lol. Probably even better than Rashied Davis would.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Mar 15, 2009 -> 12:03 AM) I think the top of the list should be Slaton, Forte and then Johnson based on the offensive lines and recent history of the Texans and Bears running games. I also think Stewart should have been ahead of McFadden and that Mendenhall should be last on this list with Choice and Jones down there as well. This is all things considered. Even though Jones was injured, he averaged 8.9 ypc. (I mean, s***) Cowboys line had a down year too. All things considered, I'll keep jones right where he is.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 14, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) Derrick Rose vs Chris Paul... That alone makes me want to see the game tonight. Derrick Rose = No Show (at least his chin could touch the rim) Total blowout though. The hornets made a run before halftime, then the bulls stepped on the gas to start the 3rd. Very cool to see. Now we will lose 3 out of our next 4. Maybe not. It is march and we have players who have had a history of playing well in march........

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 06:05 PM) I think it's safe to say J4L is back on track after hitting a little wall for a few weeks. I just completed an extremely vigorous 1-week workout regimen that has resulted in me losing 7 more pounds. Down to 190 now. 20 more pounds to go. I can see the threshold. Oh, and I'm not sure how many here take supplements, but I would recommend anyone to look into one called Xenadrine RFA X. http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3190415 I've been taking 4-6 capsules a day for two weeks. I can't remember ever feeling so energetic in my life. They're definitely legit. Are they safe though?

All things considered, I would rank them as follows Chris Johnson Matt Forte Steve Slaton Darren Mcfadden Felix Jones Jonathan Stewart Tashard Choice Rashard Medenhall Kevin Smith Ray Rice With that said, every single back on this list has a shot to be very good, if not great.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 13, 2009 -> 05:20 PM) No, it's not. It's pi day. Officially. Fine you go celebrate that. More steak and BJs for me!

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 10:33 PM) Added 2. agreed. I'm sure there are quite a few more to add too, but I still value qb over rb. I would only trade Forte as a last resort. No one on the Bears is more untouchable than Forte at this point.

Paul Konerko Sammy Sosa Frank Thomas Ken Griffey Jr Pedro Martinez John Smoltz Andy Petite Jason Giambi Ivan Rodriguez Do it Steve!

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 06:45 PM) Yikes, it's not the worst thing I've heard an NFL player do (Ray Carruth probably holds that title), but for a guy who has had character issues in the past... this is probably the last thing he needed. well, he got his $$ already so I dunno. The charges are from an incident that happened before he signed a deal. So that makes this less of a story.

I worry about trading Forte for the following reasons: Excelled in a 1 dimensional offense (ran over the extra guy in the box quite a few times.) Excelled despite a bad Oline. Very good receiver in a league with many 1 dimensional backs. Did it as a rookie. With that said.... QB>RB

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 03:16 PM) I dont think Forte is dime a dozen and I think the Bears would be stronger with Forte+Cutler vs Cutler+unknown draft pick or Kevin Jones. I think the Bears would be ready to compete if they just traded draft picks. That was my point. Of course I would prefer to trade a 1st and a 2nd for cutler. (that's a lot more than what I hear Denver was asking from Detroit) , but if it came down to Forte for Cutler, I would do it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 12, 2009 -> 01:36 PM) Thanks for going through both sides of the argument for us. Either way, you trade Forte and you have to look for one of those "dime a dozen backs" which have eluded the Bears since the 90's. It makes them take a large step back, its easier for them to trade draft picks. Forte could be the next GREAT bears back (Sayers,Payton,Anderson) . He could also be the next Atrain. Anything in sports is a RISK. Forte is not a sure thing either way. The exact same argument can be made for Cutler. I would say Cutler and Forte have about the same odds to be GREAT. As a bear fan who was giddy when Grossman was a MVP candidate the first 5 weeks of 2006, I would love nothing more then to take a chance on an Elite QB, even at the expense of Forte.

I think it is ridiculous that MLB teams require a college degree when so many people cheat their way through school these days. The position is more of a skill/passion. If I were running a MLB team I would hire someone with the passion cryptvill seems to have, not some schmuck with a piece of paper.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 11, 2009 -> 11:50 AM) Oh and anyone who will tell me how great Forte is, I will tell you that running backs in the NFl are a dime a dozen and potential franchise QB's don't grow on trees. A franchise QB can run your franchise for 12-15 seasons where as a premiere running back and your lucky to get 5-6 real good seasons of production. Bottom line the value of a QB is a s***load higher than the value of a RB (and I love forte). I can not disagree with any of this.

QUOTE (tommy @ Mar 11, 2009 -> 03:04 AM) No love for Nix. I like all the names at 2b for different reasons. I will be very disappointed if one the names listed is not our 2b for the next 5+ seasons. Obviously, Gordon preferably.

Damn. Getz gets a lot of love.

I am not getting my hopes up this time.
