For those still lamenting Matt Forte's release

[BearsFan51]

He's still not practicing with the Jets after suffering a hamstring injury prior to the start of camp. 30-year-old RBs tend to break down and struggle to heal.

And for those who believe releasing Forte was a good idea: the Bears averaged 2.8 yards per carry and scored zero points against the Broncos.

Didnt Kevin White have a leg injury? Guess those only happen to old people

If Forte suffered the injury White did and this point, his career will be over.

An all-pro vet taking it easy in pre-season? Color me shocked.

Boasting? No one is boasting, just reporting the facts.

The irony is people are pissed at Jeffrey but giving Forte a pass under virtually the same circumstances...

Wouldn't have been any better if Forte was sitting on our sideline instead of the Jets.

You could look at it with a bit more nuance than that. Forte was constantly an excellent teammate and fierce competitor. Jeffrey is younger, has much more to prove, and is playing for a big contract.

The same people who are ripping the Bears for not signing forte would be the same people ripping the Bears for signing forte .

Does that describe Jeffery too?

 

[Victory Jowls]

Who gives a shit

As a poster who started countless threads about the importance of re-signing Forte this past year, I say let it go...

So he's going to prove all that during training camp and preseason games? Yeah that's pretty nuanced...

LOL, Forte could never play again and you would still criticize Pace for ditching his ass.

Well shit...with that logic why even bother watching the regular season, I mean with the performance they put up in the first pre-season game obviously we're going to have the worst team ever!

Pack it all the hell up guy's the seasons over!

Sarcasm or?

No sarcasm,he will NOT hit 600

Forte's main strength is catching the ball,he is not an in between the the tackles runner and his rushing ability has diminished over the past 2 years.

Its good that the bears let him go,it was time
