HeGone33 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Nov 22, 2011 -> 11:39 AM) Bears fans who think Forte is better than Gore must be homers, damn the stats, so according to HeGone33, Packer fans who say Rodgers is the best QB right now must be homer fans too. Yea, damn those 56 more rushing yards he has than Gore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forte has the most yards from scrimmage of any non-QB. Gore can barely stay healthy. There is no comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really you almost have to bring him back, even if the system has changed. You need the depth anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need the depth anyway Yeah, it'd be nice to have a legitimate backup option moving forward if you can ink him to a deal. If that report out of Denver is correct and Kyle likes it here, let him take the helm until Jay's healthy and sign him up to a reasonable backup rate and stop the joke that is backup QB play in Chicago.

Who cares about inking him to a deal right now. Worry about such things in the offseason. The Bears need a body who can throw the ball in the backup QB slot. it's really that simple.

Steve9347 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Orton and his agent David Dunn had started talking to Broncos officials about the move after it was learned Chicago Bears' quarterback Jay Cutler suffered a broken thumb on his right passing thumb Sunday that will likely sideline him for the rest of the season. http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_19391873 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The added bonus is that you could make him your franchise backup moving forward, something that would be really valuable to a team that has seen its starter go down so often.

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) As average as Orton is, do we REALLY want to have the Orton vs Cutler debate by meatballs? That being said, my inner meatball would love to see Orton light up Denver as the Bears QB on December 11th. How fitting would it be that the Bears go into Denver and obliterate the Tebow option offense and Orton throws 2+ TDs?

DukeNukeEm Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Oh, and even though I think its against NFL rules, you have to imagine the Bears made some sort of verbal commitment to Orton's agent that in they would indeed pick him up. Thats one hell of a risk for Orton to make on blind faith the Bears want him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeGone33 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Forte has also been in a Martz system which utilizes a RB as a receiver more than any other system in football........ Edited November 22, 2011 by HeGone33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Cutler comes back he is the starter, Orton would have to break the single season TD record in 7 weeks to even make it a debate. Even the meatballs know this.
