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 guess Lovie wants to join Willie Randolph in the unemployment line ...

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?

The bigger question is who will start at QB?

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?
