Benson on thin ice with Bears
Bears general manager Jerry Angelo was conveniently out of town and did not return phone calls. No doubt he needs to gather more information, as well. Sadly, it's a bit late for that. There's a big enough pile of evidence for the Bears to cut ties with Cedric Benson without another thought. Maybe that's the real positive of his water-logged weekend. Benson has one leg out the door and another on a banana peel anyway after the draft last weekend, when the Bears effectively replaced him by using a second-round pick on Matt Forte.

What about Adrian Petereson of the Bears? In the games I saw him play, he may not have been spectacular, but I feel he could grow to be the # 1 back by getting 20-25 carries a game. In all the conversations of Benson losing his job no one has mentioned this kid.

Benson better get outta town, let the young guys get some work. Peterson isnt a #1 back. Wolfe and Forte have potential.

Cedric Benson is probably now the most hated athlete in Chicago among fans and teamates. There's no way he can come back and not be booed every time hes gets a carry.

Just release this bum...he's the classic draft BUST. Hey Cedric...did you have at least ONE good game as the Bears RB? Oh, and now he wants to play the victim and the race card.....F-you....no-names are better RBs than you....go to Canada and ride the bench...go to the Arena league and RIDE the bench.

Time to grow up Cedric. You don't have Mack Brown to coddle you anymore like he did when you got busted for pot at UT.

Forte is a strong RB that played at a smaller school......If they shore up the OL, they might be able to bounce back

Soriano might give Ced a battle for current most hated Chicago athlete.
Peterson had never gotten the credit he deserves but I don't see him as a #1 back. As for Wolfe, based on what I saw last year, he has no shot in the NFL. Way too little & not the speed/quickness to compensate. No chance. The Bears RB search goes on....(not to be confused w/ the Bears QB search. Which goes on....)

The Bears cleared out the WR's during the off season, time to do the same with the RB's. Bunson is a classic bust - time cut his sorry butt. Peterson is a good reserve back, but that's it. Wolfe is not the answer - forget about arm tackles, he can be FINGER tackled....
