    Yes.

    AB for sure.

    Bryant will be close with double digit TDs.

    I think Eli can be a 1000 yard guy from the slot. I think he comes awfully close.

    Nope. Too much talent, the ball and the yards will be spread too thin for that to happen. Not necessarily a bad thing, either.

    Bell could end up at #2 on the receiving end. Wouldn't shock me if he got to a thousand.

    Only 2 RBs in history have 1000 yard rushing and receiving yards in same season.

    Possible but unlikely. Too many weapons in Pittsburgh.

    He came close in his season, 854 yards. That has been his only full season.

    Hes even better now, I think he could do it. Ive long maintained that Bell is as good as other teams #2 receiver.

    Yep. Marshall Faulk and Roger Craig were special. They were where Bell thinks he is.

    Hes a special talent for sure.

    But since two people have done it already, hes not redefining the position and thats where his problem lays.

    I can easily see 2 guys with 1000+. AB and Bryant. Like most have said, everyone will be fighting for the scraps after that.

    I agree. We need that ball spread about too - AB will get his numbers, no doubt, but Ben has to keep the offense as multidimensional as possible throughout the season.

    i think bells numbers drop off as far as touches. bryant, eli, mcdonald all take some away. with AB and bell, thats a lot of field for defenses to cover. :smiley1::cool:

    Nice bars...Jack! Now, I will say this...If he walks the walk that he talked the talk...
    If he play ever game...carry us to the superbowl...produce 1000 X 1000...
    Then he deserves his asking price $$$
    He won't get it from us, but he definitely will have deserved it!
