Runningback

[trevorlovesthed]

If we pick up another player in the form of Clinton Portis especially his speed and he had decent size, i think we would be pretty hard to beat even if we didnt pick up anybody in the draft or free agency. All i want this offseason is another runningback in the form of Clinton Portis. We would make a very deep playoff run and the next season possibly the Super Bowl and contending for it throughout.

That would be great but the only players I see are Marshawn Lynch and Adrian Peterson with CP like attributes. There are some that would make great fits here like Pitmann (penn st), Irons (auburn), and Bookers (FSU). And Yes having a great back will definetly help us make a huge push in the playoff run.

Pittman is from Ohio State, Tony Hunt is from Penn St



Sorry, had to point it out. I would love a franchise back, it has been missing

If the Bears try to get rid of Thomas Jones, I wouldn't mind picking him up. Maybe we could work out a trade of some kind involving Plummer. They may be in the market for a veteran QB with a history of winning.

That is a pipe dream...Thomas was a key factor in their success and I think Kyle Orton will be given a shot to take the starting spot. No way they let Thomas go...not after getting so close this season IMHO.

The Bears might be done trying to win with unproven QB's. Plummer would be perfect for them and Benson could fill Jones' shoes. I think it would be a good trade for both teams.

Lancane, I hope you are correct. I am still baffled and a little upset after what the bears did to Orton last year. The guy is the QB in 10 victories, and did what he was asked to do: not lose games. To bench him in the playoffs for Gossman, who was hurt for a good majority of the season and proved nothing to get the start, was a shame. Would Orton have lead the Bears any deeper in the Playoffs? Maybe not. However, Orton played realitively mistake free throughout the season, not being the cause of many loses ( ala Grossman this year), and he deserved a chance to play in the playoffs with the team he helped get there.

With that said, I think the Bears will go with Griese or a FA next year, overlooking the contributions of Orton.

OK, I know that was a bit :offtopic: , but I needed to vent. Back on topic, I doubt the trade happens. As everyone else has pointed out, Thomas is the dominant ack in Chicago, and way to valuable to them at this point.
