but at least one of these morons will have more yards, carries and TDs than Forte over the next 5 seasons.

Langford should be the leading rusher as he got a lot of touches last year. Carey looked good between the tackles last year but his running style will lead him to the concussion protocol. Interested to see Howard but what is there to expect from a 5th round rookie back?
Would've liked to see Forte stay around but not going to miss his inability to punch it in from the one yard line and all the open field shoestring tackles he was a victim to.

If Jordan Howard doesn't lead them in rushing, then their run game is in trouble.

Langford, although I could see him putting up Lewis Tillman 1994-esque numbers.

I think peoples expectations of a 5th rd running back are a little high around here.

Not possible.....All draft picks, regardless of what round they were picked in, must become All Pro players at their respective positions as well as an alternate position not yet decided on.

Fourth round selection- Better than I thought he'd be so there is hope for Howard

Agreed, but he went in the 5th because he can't stay healthy in a college season. Based on potential, he would be a few rounds earlier so he could easily lead the team in rushing. Easily. But, if he can't stay healthy in college, he has little hope of doing so in the NFL. So, he will be a short yardage, change of pace guy. Effective in spots but nothing more than that. Nice piece to a puzzle. Draft him very late in your fantasy league and pick up some points as a flex position when you have bye week problems. Something is very wrong or very lucky if the Bears have to or can rely on him as a lead back.

That would make us the worst run team in the nfl.

My favorite teams
Howard is our power back, and is going to tear it up running right. I think we end up feeding him, allowing Langford to run all over the place against tired defenses in the fourth quarter.
I bet Howard gets more carries and TDs, but Langford gets YPC and total yards.

So why not get rid of him after this season instead of before?

He's old and so our younger guys can get touches. This has been discussed many times.

Clearly Langford if he's healthy, he'll get the most carries as the starter.
The real question is, are any of these guys going to be a half-way solid replacement for Forte and Langford as a backup?
Or is this just another Ryan Pace failure?

I think Howard will be great on short yardage and will vulture a few red zone TDs. Langford will be the man this year, but he could lose the job to Howard in time.

When was the last time you saw a team that only had 3 guys get a carry for an entire season?

Are the Bears in a rebuild and hope to first become a winning team with a young core or are we right now trying to win the super bowl and screw the future past this one season?

No. It would not.
it would make us the 16th best rushing team (2015) and if you added 200 yards from QBs, maybe 100 yards from WRs/TEs/FBs on reverses or whatever, 100 yards to a 4th RB (as there are more than 3 guys that gets carries over a season) it would make us the 6th best rushing team in the nfl (again 2015)

I think it's Langford.
Langford , Howard, Carey in that order.
