So that kind of dampens down the numbers for those other receivers.

As good as Forte is he's not Priest Holmes. And Olsen & Clark combined don't come close to Gonzo at his peak. What Cutler has to work with is even less than Green had.
No, I was responding to people immediately writing off Cutler because Chicago didn't have wide receivers. Just like Kansas City didn't have wide receivers. But they had other options, just like Chicago has now. And how do you know how good Forte will be? He had a far better rookie season than Holmes did and had almost 500 receiving yards. Imagine what he'll do without 8 or 9 guys playing up in the box.
