DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Interesting. He's a good rb but no idea the Bears would be interested in throwing that much coin at a rb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawhizz Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I like him, but if they went RB, I would have expected a speed guy, since Bell's a more of a banger (like Bush). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Not sure I understand this. We've got more pressing needs than to keep spinning our wheels with the backup RB's. Barber is fine as long as he's not in at the end of the game where you want your player to stay in bounds to run the clock out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Not sure I understand this. We've got more pressing needs than to keep spinning our wheels with the backup RB's. It does seem semi-pointless. Several other positions are needed before backup running back. Hell, that may be one of the very last positions of need.

Bell isn't what I'd call a banger. His style is very similar to Forte and he's most definitely not a short yardage back. Bush is that short yardage 3rd down guy. He's better than that though so I don't know why he'd pick the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyBear Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 As stated on NFL network, Bush would be insurance if Forte does not show for camp. I guess the talks in the back office is that forte is not haqppy the way the talks went qand is saying he will hold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears4Ever_34 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I don't know about you but I'm okay with Khalil Bell or Mario Barber starting when the season begins if Forte wants to be a baby about it and sit out until he gets paid or the Bears keep fining him until he shows up.

He takes Barbers place and if Forte holds out, someone that has carried the load before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 With the risk surrounding Forte, this makes more sense. If you get a guy like Bush, at what point do you see what kind of trade market Forte has? Say you have Forte, Bell, Barber. That is a pretty solid backfield and you might get a 2nd plus another pick for Forte (and save some serious coin). I haven't thought it all through and I'd prefer to keep Forte, however, lots of things to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
