    But on this particular issue regarding bell, I cant find anyone outside of people who fans of the steelers or have any association with the steelers who disagrees with a what bell is doing and b that connor is good but not bell.

    Conner probably needs to show he can be effective over a full year, but the bigger picture here is that the Steelers' line is THAT good and we'll (likely) have Bell and Conner for defensive coordinators to plan for the rest of the year.

    That's the thing. They don't know more than any of us. I've explained this too you in great detail, as have others, but you either don't get it or refuse to acknowledge it. They are also biased sources, almost always on the side of the star player regardless of the facts. That is especially true when they are talking about the star player getting paid.

    People on a message board only have one basis for credibility, which is the logic and detail they bring in what they post. That is where you fail miserably, no matter who you claim agrees with you. I'm dismissing your question as irrelevant. I can claim to be Ed Bouchette or Bill Cowher. I could make up a claim to be any expert you want. The knowledge I claim is irrelevant. The knowledge I demonstrate is what matters.

    This is the one point on which you are making sense. It is absolutely fair to say the sample size on Conner is too small to properly evaluate him. Perhaps you should try more logic like this rather than claiming everybody who dares disagree with you simply knows nothing?

    Good time for the Bye for Connor.
    Last two games he has been getting worked hard.

    If Bell does report this week, the Steelers also get two weeks to sort out how they will use both backs.

    Conner should be starting and getting most of the work against Cleveland. Bell needs to work his way back into game shape. He started very slowly last season and it will be even more difficult for him to get it going after sitting out even longer this time.

    Conner has also shown that he needs 20-plus touches to be his most effective. That seems to be the case for Bell, too, based on past performance. You've got two guys who thrive on a heavy workload, so a job share may not be particularly effective.

    On the other hand, those snaps going to Bell instead of Ridley certainly seems like a big positive.

    I was watching NFL network last night after the game. They talked about leveon and this was after conner talked to deion and him, lt , and sharpe said he played well but if eveon comes back next game he should be the starter. LT referred to him as the best runner in the nfl.

    Conner is only growing on you now? Whatever you think of his role or Bell's, I don't understand how anybody can't root for the kid.

    I tried listening to Deion, LT and Sharpe on Fox last night but I couldn't make sense of what they were saying.
    They verbalize like you type.

    No but I saw several people comment on videos and agree or made comments about what they said so they obviously understood.

    I am finding it more comical that people doubt James Conner far greater than Le'Veon Bell showing up.


    Quite the dichotomy in thought, no?

    Several thousand people watched the video. Every single person didnt comment but the video had far more thumbs up than thumbs down so it's fair to concur that assessment. Also tot he guy who said he couldnt understand them why isnt he on TV then? And I don't want to hear about because they're players because guys like skip bayless and stephen a get paid millions for their opinions.

    Did you conduct a poll? How do you know what others thought of what they said? It sounds like you made this up.

    Yes, some people earn their way on air with actual reporting and/or expertise. Others get there due to a familiar face and name from their playing days and an engaging personality. For some, it is both.

    You really don't know what you are talking about here.

    'Sources say' Bell was spotted at a gas station in Pittsburgh this morning. He was getting nachos.
