"Bears general manager Jerry Angelo has had better days than Sunday in New Orleans.

His first-round pick went out with a knee injury. With Olin Kreutz on the other sideline, his quarterback was sacked six times. And the only bright spot in a 30-13 loss to the Saints is going to cost him: Matt Forte's price keeps going up.

You can't blame Angelo for wanting to see more from Forte this season before signing him to a long-term contract extension. But even after two games, it's pretty clear: When the Bears' offense is good, Forte is good; when the Bears' offense is bad, Forte is still good. What more do you need to see?

Not only is Forte second in the NFL among non-quarterbacks in total yards with 324 (117 rushing on 26 carries; 207 receiving on 15 catches), he has accounted for 52 percent of the Bears' total yardage. That's by far No. 1 in the NFL among non-quarterbacks. Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is second at 41.9 percent. Only two others are even higher than 40 percent."
