‘I Should’ve Never Left’: Le’Veon Bell Apologizes to Steelers Fans

It still just sounds like it isn't possible that Ben, Bell, Brown, and Bryant played together in exactly ONE playoff game.

 

I hope the lack of appreciation is not pointed towards Me .....just because I don't think He was the best back in the league doesn't mean I didn't appreciate Him.

 

Bell only played 16 games in a regular season once in His entire career..., and if I'm not mistaken....He didn't play in the playoffs that year.
He played 62 out of a possible 80 games for us countingthe regular season.

 

And the dislike comes from him lying and screwing his teammates and he deserves that

 

I agree with you on this and just to be clear, I still hate the way Bell acted in the last few years with us....I had enough of Bell after the 2017 season and wanted the Steelers to try to trade him in the 2018 offseason, even before his entire season holdout.But he was still the best RB in the league in the 2014 to 2016 period.....Murray never repeated his 2014 season either before or after 2014

 

i know - injuries do SUCK, but ALL TEAMS have them, some worse than others.

Burfict blew us up for a few years, that PUNK.

 

The league allowed that guy to cheap shot our team and single-handedly hurt our chances in the playoffs by taking Steelers player off the field.

He should have been thrown out of the NFL for the amount of injuries that dude intentionally caused to so many players around the NFL.

I hate that guy.

 

Burfict never seemed to learn from that...He stayed in the NFL way too long....One of the best things JuJu did with us was to give Burfict a huge blindside hit in 2017, it was a great penalty and worth it even though JuJu was suspended the next game

 

The team had legitimate super bowl aspirations and bell ruined it....... there are no make up days or replays..... once it's gone, it's gone....
Some bridges can't be rebuilt once they're burned down

 

So because because He(Murray)didn't repeat the 2014 season didn't count. LoL. That's good to know . LoL. Again You can think whatever You want. It's your life, but He didn't lead in anything... any of those years. Not rushing yards, not overall yards, not tds. So how would He be the best ....besides in just your opinion???

 

Tell you what, I recently watched a Lev highlight video. I swear to God, I don't remember him being that exsplosive. We knew he had that unique running style, but I didn't remember his ability to stick his foot in the ground and explode upfield. I had a great time watching that video.

Here it is: One of the the highlights for me is the run at 2:50. Wow.

 

When Bell was at his best, I would be watching games and just be shaking my head at some of the runs. He could make two guys miss with his moves, spin, and then explode through a hole and drag people for an 8-10 yard gain that most backs would have been lucky to get 2-3 yards out of.

I thought he was amazing. He didn't have a great rookie season, but after 5 or 6 seasons for his career he averaged more yards from scrimmage per game than any RB in the history of the NFL. That is the definition of elite.

 

And now Saquon Barkley is considering the same dumb as idea

 

I appreciate his contributions to the team. I thought he was an idiot for leaving $14 million, or whatever it was on the table. It likely was bad advice from his agent. He couldn't recognize it? No one said to him, "Uh, hey Lev, you ever think about changing agents?" I didn't care for the way he carried himself with the whole negotiation process. I get that he likely did some soul searching and that maybe his apology was from the heart. I'm sorry if I view it with some cynicism. Like I said before, if he's sincere, the passage of time will reveal as much.

 

Barkley is a great player, but he will never get that money back if he sits out. He will not pile up any stats sitting on his butt at home. He will be one year older and less attractive to every team after not playing football for an entire season. There is nothing positive about not playing.

Bell is the cautionary tale that has set the bar as the example not to follow. It sucks for him, but it would be a dumb move to sit out.

 

just pay them all the same.
it is a team sport.
FFS

 

Bell...his ship has sailed. His waste of his prime years by not signing a 2nd contract is equivalent to Axl Rose and his waste of the Guns'n Roses band in the 90's...in the Rock'n Roll realm. What a freaking complete waste of talent.

 

I know ....it's pretty dumb, and not forward thinking. The league has decided what the RBs are worth.....it's a salary cap league. If You don't want to play , and make the money they think it's worth then don't, but don't think You will change it. It's not like they aren't spending the money.....they just aren't on Rbs. I don't see how not signing, and not playing will make You MORE MONEY.

 

And now our own Mr Harris is already flapping his gums

Fortunately they have a noose around his nuts for 3 more seasons if they want him

 

I'm getting a mental picture that is making me very uncomfortable.

 

It's hard to read this article. It dredges up the feeling I had all during that time...this team could/should win Super Bowls. Without the injuries/suspensions and some other bad bounces...Ben might have 4/5 rings and the Pukes would be in our rearview mirror. But alas....
