Is Roy Williams "The" man?

The Chicago Bears need a wide receiver.  Roy Williams is slowly finding his groove with the team.  He made some catches last week and against the Vikings. 

Bernard Berrian was released by the Vikings.  I called for the Bears to take him in recent years but Berrian may be passed over.  His production with Minny was down from his first year where he grabbed 7 TD's and gained almost 1000 yards.  This season he has caught 7 passes for 91 yards.  Heck, Dane Sanzenbacher, the rookie from Ohio State has caught 3 TD's for Da Bears, and he was undrafted.

Sanzenbacher is a smart, tough receiver and he is bound to improve.  Hey Bears, run a play fake to Forte and then let him get free and hit him down the sidelines.  If he clears his man, it's a TD. Perhaps you can get a personal foul on the play.  Forte is practically doing everything else on offense except throw the ball.  Brian Urlacher recently called him the "Best player in the league right now."  That was after his 200+ yards rushing game.  Only Payton and Sayers have done that for Chicago and they are both in the Hall of Fame. 

At this time, I say stick with what you have.  Sometimes, the best move you make is not making a move.  Let's see how Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett perform.  Somebody has to get untracked.  The key thing is for he OL to give Jay Cutler time to read his defense and hit his receivers.  They aren't great.  But they're not terrible.  When Cutler is on his game, he makes a wide receiver look great.
