Sucks that you're so much smarter than us.
Lol, yeah, that designation really stands out on my resume and professional bio.

I guess this board has reached an echelon in dumbness. When Forte is put down as some no talent bum, then there is no hope for those who espouse it.
Forte's worth much more to the bears than anyone else... we might get a 6th rounder.
Well, some might argue any Back can run throw a hole...
But can he block on passing plays, & does he cause a mismatch in the passing game? Forte can get open even with coverage.
I (and I'm sure most others) understand it perfectly, I just don't agree with it. The cap situation is fairly good so there's no need to salary dump the best player on the team. I could understand if we were in cap hell for 2015 but that isn't the case. All you're going to do by salary dumping is hurt the team. Players don't want to play hard because they feel the team is in complete tank/rebuild mode, and you have a harder time attractive free agents, which is a problem because you'll probably need a bunch of them to overpay just to get to the salary minimum.
The thought behind it is Forte is 30 and will be declining and we could find a less expensive running with decent production.
Thoughts?
Cut Kyle Long?
He wasn't early in his career, but today he IS one of the better blocking backs in the league. Check his PFF.His yards per reception was low too so didn't do much damage anywhere. Mostly all his receptions were just dump offs so not impressed and of course he'll never have that many again now that Trestman's gone. He's not one of the better blocking backs so not sure why you brought that up.
Ummm, no!
I don't think he's that good, at least anymore. I rather we draft a running back to support fancy feet Forte.Why not? You're spending next to nothing to get one of the greatest RBs of the mid-2000s.
He's not here to be a superstar, just to play 5-10 downs per game.
This can't be real right? This post isn't real.
The Bears should sign Red Grange to a league minimum contract.I was interviewing George Halas and I asked him who is the greatest running back you ever saw. And he said, 'That would be Red Grange.' And I asked him if Grange was playing today, how many yards do you think he'd gain. And he said, 'About 750, maybe 800 yards.' And I said, 'Well, 800 yards is just okay.' He sat up in his chair and he said, 'Son, you must remember one thing. Red Grange is 75 years old.'
