[joseephuss]

and the should we sign benson thread starts in 3,2,1 ...

Can he play WR or ILB?

 

[DFWJC]

Matt Forte is now the offensive rookie of the year front-runner.

Can he play WR or ILB?

He can play both. And i heard he leaps Tall buildings in a single bound

 

[theebs]

lol.

The bears are going to start letting their turn in the first round expire. Its a better alternative for them.

No one is ever going to get money there again.

Not really.

At the bare minimum they should stop drafting running backs in the first round.

 

[AtlCB]

That 2005 draft class is looking even worse now. :ralph:

 

[DFWJC]

Not really.

Matt Forte is now in the top 10 front-runners for Off ROY.

 

[AbeBeta]

Shame. He's got some talent.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him do well somewhere that didn't have such a crap offense

t sips

t sips

t too many sips

 

[DallasEast]

Just another case of a talented player trying his very best to flush away a golden opportunity of a long (even for a running back), lucrative and maybe even renowned career--which many can only dream of having--simply because he couldn't overcome his own piss-ant mentality. Incredible.

 

[InmanRoshi]

I bet he ends up in Houston with the Kyle Shannahan connection.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

I don't think the Bears are as disappointed as they would lead you to believe, or Benson's agent would, it's just the final nail in the coffin of an otherwise 1st round bust

 

[WoodysGirl]

That was my first thought...

Even tho they Ahman Green, Benson would be a nice veteran upgrade, to go with some of the rooks they drafted.

Another locale, Green Bay maybe?

dude may be facing a year suspension

 

[CrazyCowboy]

wow....did not see that coming

 

[Hostile]

wow....did not see that coming

You didn't?

They did the EXACT same thing with Tank Johnson.

 

[WoodysGirl]

A year? He hasn't even been suspended once. I don't think his issues are even in the realm of a year's suspension. Unless he was already in the program.

 

[bbgun]

It's not like they lost a transformative talent at the height of his powers. He was cruising towards "bustville" anyway.
