Is it weird that...

I absolutely don't care whether Bell reports or not? I know many of us are frustrated with Bell, but it's hard not to respect his game. Still, I don't really care whether he does or not. Conner is playing like a monster.

 

Is it weird that I'm tired of threads about someone's who's not even on the team?

 

Not weird at all.

 

If he does stay I'd use him as a wide out, JC owns the #1 spot.

 

No, that’s not the weird part. The weird part is you keep reading the threads.

 

Conner has been great, but I still want him back, because having both of them makes the offense even tougher to stop. They are going to absolutely have to win the next Ravens game to hope to win the division, and they are going to need every weapon they have.

 

Well when they suck you in with the thread title...

 

I'm still waiting on the proof this team knows how to utilize more than one back. They've had personnel here that would've been so problematic for D's, so wear and tear friendly for the stud back etc... And they don't do jack with it.

I'm all for Bell never coming back. I'm also for Bell spelling Conner and getting into shape and rhythm and being a nice piece to have in the O... But no confidence that they would treat/handle the situation accordingly.

 

I got a kick out of Bens post game presser saying James did very well in his last game now with bell coming back hahahahahaha

 

What a weirdo!

 

Steelers would be no better or worse with Bell at this point. Bell is a non factor in the grand scheme of things. He offers nothing when it counts the most... playoffs.

 

I wouldn’t let that idiot Bell anywhere near this team. I wouldn’t even sell him a ticket and let him sit in the stands.

Fortunately Conner is showing that he can play like Bell. I think he just may have cost himself some money with his stupid holdout.

 

I don't like what Bell has done, but I think he has a case, business-wise, for doing what he did.

One thing to note is he is not a bad locker room guy. He has a lot of friends in the locker room.

I don't care for his suspensions, but I think if he comes back the other 52 guys are going to welcome him back.

I don't think this is a case where we tell him to stay away like TO or Keyshawn

 

We have salary cap issues in that there are a lot of people to pay. Won`t be long before we have to pay Juju and some others. How can we go from paying Bell what 8 mil to 20 mil per year for 5 years? He seems unaffordable. I think he wants 5 year contract, but probably he has only 3 good years left in him at best. I`m thinking the team will hamstring themselves financially signing Bell and he is poor value at this point. I just don`t see him signing with us again.

 

I was a journalist for several years, this is what we do

 

Yeah, I am over giving any ****s about whether he shows up. I'm just tired of the story.

 

Apparently, you forgot that he set the team record for rushing yards in a playoff game two years ago, then broke it the following week. You also forgot him making a great catch for one of his two touchdowns and finishing with 155 total yards from scrimmage against the Jaguars last season.

I'm fed up with Bell, too, but these constant, inaccurate denials of his past production are just ridiculous.
