CBears019 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I remember that year i wanted the Bears to draft Rashard Mendenhall so bad with their first round pick. Pretty happy with the way things turned out. Except Chris Williams, he sucked... Forte was an every down back who accounted for the majority of our offense year in and year out. In 8 years, he missed a total of 7 games (iirc). That’s insane. Watching his highlights really makes me miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBears019 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Could you imagine Forte if he was drafted by a team like the Patriots, Packers, Saints, etc. A team that consistently has other playmakers around him so he isn’t the focal point of the offense. I’m happy he’s going out on his terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike90 Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Awesome to see both Forte and Hester are going to retire as Bears on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman(DH23) Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 22 and 23 both in my top 5 fave bears of my lifetime. Watching Hester highlight packages still gives me chills. I dont care what anybody says, he is a 1st ballot hofer. The story of the NFL can not be told without Devin Hester. Also Tony Dungy telling the story of the players talking him into kicking to Hester in the Super Bowl is one of the funniest things ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predicted bears would take Forte but I was higher on Jon Stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Favorite forte moment: the death juke on the Bucs (I think in London?) least favorite moment: the like 1800 times he ran for a 0-1 yard gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is unquestionably the greatest return man in the history of the game and #2 isnt close. He didnt just set the record he crushed it. If we were to assign a WAR for players in 2006 is anybody's higher than Hester? In the truest since of the word he was probably the mvp. He changed the way the position is played and more importantly the way it is defended. Yes absolutely he belongs in the hall of fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the only other back to do the things he did as long as he did was Marshall Faulk means he probably should be in. Most complete back of his generation.
