Matt Forte would have BEEN THE OFFENSE in Nagys system.

33-Darren Lewis (if coke hadn't been more important)
That was the greatest "Bears cover up" ever...much more elaborate than the Ray McDonald cover up from a few years ago.
'Character issues' and positive combine test for cocaine scared off other teams, but not the Bears. Bill Tobin first claimed he "didn't know" about Lewis' positive drug test, but since he tested positive AT THE COMBINE, even believers in the tooth fairy wouldn't buy that story. So Tobin switched gears and then claimed he thought he told the Bears to draft a different player, but the message got garbled at some point. Anyways, the irony is that Tobin eventually replaced Darren Lewis with Tim Worley...another cocaine RB. You can't make this stuff up.
Yes Tobin brought in Lewis.
But I dont think he had any hand in Worley....as I recall Tobin was gone before the '93 season began because he wanted OJ McDuffie and Wanna got his way taking Conway. So Tobin bounced.
And yes Forte would've had even bigger numbers. But this thread should have Neal Anderson in the title. Not Firte.
I would loved to have seen him in this system. The only two years he had any talent around him, he had almost 2k yards from scrimmage in 2013 with 12 TDs and broke the receiving record for a back in 2014, and these weren't nearly as good schemes as Nagy's. He'd have thrived big time with all these screens they run now.
Forte slightly > Anderson, imo, but I'm a big fan of both.
It’s close but N. Anderson was in Payton’s shadow and less appreciated as a result, in my opinion. They both would have excelled in this system.
SDM, you are the all time gravysauce slurping champion of CCS.
if payton hadn't hung on a season too long and moved to fb, bears fans would've been treated to andersons eliteness much sooner. Instead ditka had neal playing fullback because payton wouldn't admit neal was better.
Sad part is, payton immediately would have been the best fb in football. Hell, payton could've been the leagues best fb into the early 90s. No doubt about it. Probably would've finished with 18-19,000 rushing yds. He'd still be the all time rushing leader.
Sad part is, Payton IMMEDIATELY would have been the BEST FB in football. Hell, Payton could've been the leagues best FB into the early 90s. No doubt about it.
Or he could have switched to safety.
