Matt Forte

All -

What do you all think about the prospects for Matt Forte cards moving forward? He had a great season but only averaged 3.9 per carry. What are your thoughts on his potential for increased value? Thanks for the feedback

As the Bears work out their QB issues, Forte will rise in value.

Zacky1053 · 03-01-2009, 09:00 PM

The Bears need to bring in a backup RB to take 10+ carries a game so Forte doesn't have to shoulder the load so much. That's one of the reasons he got so many yards last year. Lots of yards, but only a 3.9 average like you said because he got the ball so much. If they continue to push Forte like they did in 2008 he will be worn out after three seasons, and they realize that. That's why they're looking for someone. I think it's pretty clear he's gonna be a focus of the offense until we find the next Peyton Manning via trade or the NFL Draft, though...

Thanks for the response guys. I am asking because I have 4 nice autos of Forte and was thinking of moving them. I know the time is bad to sell but figured if he took a dump next season they would drop like a stone. Thanks

move them definitely... and then pm me the prices!

I think Forte is one of if not the best RB from last years draft. I'd hang onto them

You might want to wait until at least preseason. People start thinking football again and there will be some prospectors out...

Zacky1053 · 03-01-2009, 10:01 PM

I agree. Don't judge by prices now. It's the offseason, and people are looking towards baseball and the NFL Draft. Wait over the sumer to see what happens...

and at the same time i would still keep buying in the off season.

I think the Bears need to focus on the O-line. Garza, Kruetz, Tait are all getting up there in age. I thought Forte's YPC was decent considering who he had blocking for him. A RB is only as good as his OL in most instances. Example, look at Larry Johnson's stats after Roaf and Shields retired = crap.

crazybearsfan22 · 03-01-2009, 10:08 PM

so with all this considered, do u want to sell 1 to me?

shiverman · 03-01-2009, 10:42 PM

after reading this i started thinking maybe i should move my forte. i have a 2 color spa patch. I think that i might play the odds and just hang on to it.

That's what I would do, but I would also remember that everything's for sale at the right price.
