bell released

Totally different situations...

 

He is done being a good running back. I wouldn't take him for no money. His 3.2 running average shows he is done. He never ran more than 30 yards and had no speed.

Maybe now Bell and AB can do workout video's together.

 

That's the way it looks but it's hard to say when a guy lives in the dumpster fire called the Jets.

 

Yea but he was like that his last year here also. Then took a year off, Then went to dumpster fire, he has been going downhill for a while.

 

Not the 2020 version of bell.. lol. If this was 2014, sure.

 

Something makes me think Lev and his agent aren't very good at math.

 

Young Michael Vick ran like Barry Sanders. He's the only one I've seen come close to Sanders.

 

You have a guitar as your avatar, and you could not make this rap into a video? Step up your game, man.

 

So you would play your roster short, just like Tomlin. (double pun intended)

 

He also made some amazing 4th and forever passes in a game against the Steelers that still irks me. Memory a little fuzzy but it was a game that ended in a tie with Atl. The 4th quarter was insane. I think he had 3 or 4 4th down conversions. All we had to do was stop one of them and we would have won the game.

 

I guess there's always

 

Reading comments here and different places is quite amusing. Some stated since the Jets are paying him we can get him for cheap, does not (necessarily) work that way. Heck the Steelers paid AB, the the Raiders paid him, and it still cost (at least contract wise) the Pats a bundle to sign him the same year. Others have said could contribute, 3rd down etc. Bell is not going to be content as a p/t player, even with the history do you really want the drama this would likely create? Even if he was an upgrade (very speculative at this point), the disharmony he might bring to the locker room negates any value he might bring on the field.

 

Cute. No, I would play my roster with a guy who wants to play over a guy who doesn't.

 

Bell in his prime reminded me of Sanders in that he had insane patience and agility. I feel like Sanders had more speed which allowed him to do what he did no matter who was blocking for him. After Bell's knee injury I think he lost a little speed. IMO Bell and his agent walked away from a HOF career in Pittsburgh and it was obvious to everyone. No one but Bell and his agent know the facts behind the scenes but it is the agents job to protect Bell from making such horrible mistakes w/ his career. it's sad really. Bell was not a bad guy like AB was but both cost them selves an insane amount of $ and a place in the HOF.

I think people forget just how good of a 3rd down back Bell was. That's where he could help this team. His ability to catch the ball and get the 1st down was 2nd to none. He would even now be an upgrade to Connor, Snell, & McFarland as a 3rd down back.

 

Bell was a great regular season back. But in the playoffs, he would disappear. The only playoff game I remember him being really good was the one vs. Chiefs after 2016 season. Steelers still never got it into the end zone, even with Bell. Boswell scored all the points in that game. Just about all of the playoff games during his tenure... Bell was either on IR or a non-factor.

 

Leveon was spitting on this track tho...

His name is Glenn,
His post give me REM,
He's like that phlegm,
In the back of your throat,
He can't take a joke,
He'll disagree with your post

 

Bell for $1mill or less?

 

He had 167 yards vs the dolphins in 2016, and 150 total yards and 2 TDs vs Jacksonville in 2017.

 

Uh, dang. Was hoping this was a thread about a new Taco Bell product.

 

If he was willing to sign a team friendly contract. I would bring him inand ditch Samuels in a heart beat.

Is Bell capable of being a top 10 rb still? I don't know. I called every step of this correctly on this board from the day he said he was sitting out, to the Jets, to being cut.. but I did think he would make it the full 2 years..... and I do think he would be welcomed by the team back.. but on a short leash.

Can he be top 10? Idk... can he be a better back than Jaylen Samuels? Without a doubt... Can he be at least as good a teammate? That's really the unknown.

HACK

 

With the Jets Bell never had 100 yards rushing in a game, or a 20 yard gain .

 

We lost to Jacksonville. Badly.

 

They lost by 3 points

 

Please. Are you serious? That joke of a game was lopsided with Jax dominating throughout. Steelers were in desperation mode the entire game. If it weren't for some miraculous plays by Martavis Bryant and Ben... it would have been a total blowout.

Cowher still holds the biggest Steelers choke title of all time against the '94 Chargers.

But Tomlin has the dishonor of losing to Tebow and Bortles.

 

You said they lost badly, great players made great plays to stay in the game.
