Bell will report week 7

Than he can simply wait to week 10 and not get traded.

 

As I stated...Not end well

 

He is definitely trying to maximize his money with out taxing his body. And as stated above it will bring more value to him getting traded.

 

Id rather go 1-14-1 than have that distraction back in a Steelers uniform.

 

That's because you haven't been paying attention. Bell cares about getting paid, first and foremost. Nothing else matters. Getting a paycheck without having to touch the ball in a game is a dream scenario for him.

 

What difference does that make? The Rooneys don't pay it, dumbass Joe taxpayer does.

 

Break a leg Bell!


That means good luck right?

 

the ravens were the #1 defense coming into the game.

as far as better with bell, i guess that depends what bell we get. the one trying not to get hurt so he can get paid or the one that is going to show he deserves to get paid.

 

i just showed you comparison numbers. the rest you made up. just like this statement. again i stand by my summery of you.

 

He won't be football ready for about 4 weeks, Please Steelers trade him before he gets here.

 

The Ravens had played three games. One was against the Bills with Peterman at quarterback. There's your skewed early ranking. Sorry, but no.

They are missing what they had in Bell last season, which was a guy in the discussion for best running back in the NFL.

 

Yall are some crazy SOBs. If Bell means winning, then bring him on.

 

I gave this story time and time for LeVeon Bell to be a an honorable man. It hasn’t happened. Again. Either the story of him coming back week 7 is true and Bell has done nothing to confirm it to the team. This would be an honest and upright thing that most intelligent people would do. This would allow the team to properly plan. He hasn’t done this. Or, it’s just a rumor by a pundit. In that case all Bell has to do is dispel it and set the record straight with the truth. He hasn’t done this either.

What he is doing has nothing to do with business, leverage, staying healthy or any of the other BS that people toss out in his defense.

Bell is just being a low class ass. This is why people dislike Bell. He has earned the dislike.

In my highly biased opinion

 

i'm not saying what he did in the past didn't make a difference, where his head is now is the question. which bell will we be getting back? there is no guarantee he will be the one to make us better.

 

Anyone see this?

 

I don't see Bell ever playing for the Steelers again. If he does, it will really make me wonder what the front office is thinking these days. I hope they can somehow trade him before week 7 gets here.

 

That’s hilarious

 

Brilliant

 

If the report is true, the only possible reasons for waiting until Week 7 are selfish ones. He knows he's not getting more money out of the Steelers. Waiting two weeks isn't going to make it easier for him to be traded. He's avoiding playing for two weeks because his future after the season is all that matters. This really should be the end of any claim that he is doing this for anybody but himself, but I'm sure some people will be foolish enough to continue to defend Bell.

 

I was listening to the fantasy sports station in the car a couple of days ago and they said the same thing I have been trying to point out. This team is performing at basically the same pace with Conner instead of Bell. Conner's total production (rushing and passing) is only 6 yards less per game than Bell did through four games last year. If the Bell supporters think we're all of sudden going to start winning because he comes back, I think it is wishful thinking because the stats don't back it up. Poor defense and poor QB play are what has us where we are and Bell isn't going to fix that. If for some reason Bell's mere presence causes the team to have a different attitude toward the game then the fault of our losing is still on the team and not because Bell wasn't here. The team should be able to get up emotionally for the game no matter who the RB is, especially after what they saw from Conner week 1.

 

I still want him traded ,Everyone thinks he is gona come back and save the season,, its not gona happen

 

Those numbers are skewed because Conner had one big game. That is the part you and they are missing.

Also, that is a four-game sample. We have years of data on Bell, most of it proving he is a better player than he showed the first four games last season.

As I wrote earlier, Bell is not going to save the season. He can't fix the defense. If Roethlisberger really is done rather than just getting off to a slow start, Bell won't be able to make him throw more accurately.

That said, the absence of Bell is hurting the Steelers. He is better than Conner. He would certainly draw more attention from opposing defenses. If you think teams are loading up on Conner because he had one good game against the Browns, you are fooling yourself.

 

Yes, thanks

 

Some reading for those who want to argue that the absence of Bell isn't hurting the Steelers and Conner is doing just fine.
