The OP is from last year.

Forte is still in good shape but he slowed down alot last season. I bet he can play for another 2-3 years at a decent level but id rather just let him walk after this season and get younger.

 

[Midway Fields]

Huh?

Our best offensive player.

 

[BearFanJohn]

Let him play out his contract. He is still an effective RB. He's also good for continuity and in the locker room. If he can get a gig somewhere else for the 16 season then let him walk. RB is not a problem so lets not make it one.

Law don't go round these parts, lawdog. Neither does pragmatism. He must be traded for a 1st round pick or signed to a massive extension.

Nah, matt is the bears best offensive player and has been every year since he was drafted.

I love Forte and glad we've had him all these years. But that's simply not true. Marshall is the better offensive player. But oddly enough, I'm not even really that bothered that Marshall is no longer here. I loved him too while he was here, even have 2 of his jerseys.

Pace traded our best offensive player for a 5th.

Correction, our best offensive player and a 7th for a 5th.

He really wasn't, but I don't object to you holding this incorrect opinion.

Just sticking to the facts.

It's a sad thing when fanboyism gets in the way of logical thought.

 

[ClydeLee]

That couldn't possibly be further from news

I'm curious to see how he plays this year, but I'll be very happy to see him carry the ball a lot less. They need to get some carries to other guys. It'll be good for the team and for Forte.

Just stating the truth. Forte leads the league in offensive production since he came into the league. He just this season made it to 7k rush yards and 3k receiving yards in less games than Thurman Thomas and LaDanian Tomlinson. He's been the best offensive player the Bears have had since Payton, and has been the engine of the offense since the first day he put a Bears helmet on. Get a grip.

 

[Trump32]

Nobody will trade for Forte.

Only Siths (and Omletpants) deal in absolutes.

And with just 3 seasons with the Bears Marshall has 279 catches for 3500 yards and 31 TD's. Two of those seasons were 100 or more catches and the last was an injury shortened season. I'd say you're the one who needs to get a grip. You get on all these guys who are Cutler fanboys but you are clearly just as bad with Forte if not worse.

LOL. Not really comparable. They love Cutler despite his performance. I love Forte because of his performance (like most Bears fans).

But he hasn't produced as much as Marshall. Marshall is the better player. In all honesty it doesn't much matter now cause Marshall is gone so Forte is back to being the best player on O.
