Bears may start rookie RB
The final practice session of the offseason Wednesday did little to indicate who will be the Bears' starting quarterback Sept. 7 at Indianapolis. At least some names were ruled out at running back. Coach Lovie Smith put the kibosh on the idea that the team will bring in an experienced back, making it clear that rookie second-round pick Matt Forte is being counted on as the starter from Day 1.

I think they spelled it out when they drafted a RB with their first pick. Wonder who they'll draft next year to replace Forte?

No open competition at a key offensive position....? Sounds very Bears to me.
Eh, what else can he say though, "All of our backs are terrible. We will add a player soon."

I noticed it as well. The FanNation editors make so many typos and errors on their site. Honestly, SI can't hire less idiots?

The Bears could be in serious trouble this year. No QB, everybody seems unhappy, Forte is unproven. Fortunes can turn quickly in the NFL.

We're the Bears. We don't DO free agents. Derek Anderson? Forget him... we've got Rexie!

At least give him the shot through the preseason. Then if he struggles you can bring someone else in.
