makindollaz 40 Posted September 9, 2018 Bell's gamble looks pretty dumb about right now. Wonder if he fires his agent tonight, or waits a few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NAn 39 Posted September 9, 2018 With Bell, they beat Cleveland. So its cost them half a game so far. So Bell would've done much more than 190totyds/2tds AND kept Big Ben from throwing 3 picks? Sign that man now Pitt! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 824 Posted September 9, 2018 They would have beat Cleveland if they started Bell at QB. That should be taken into account when he says he deserves to be paid as an Offensive Weapon as opposed to a running back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember how well deangelo Williams did every time he started? I do. Ben was the reason they lost. Very simple 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,063 Posted September 9, 2018 Just like William Wallace, Le'Veon Bell can consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted September 9, 2018 Bell was somewhere in the middle to bottom half of RB's who fumbled last year, iIRC. He might have lost the ball too--can't really say "Bell wouldn't have fumbled", so that's just right out. Connor's stats, can't ask for more than that from Bell. And Bell wouldn't have made Ben not throw those picks, as others have pointed out. No reason the team wouldn't have still lost with him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMMensaMind 459 Posted September 9, 2018 Bell is gaining leverage. When Pitt starts losing to the tougher teams on the schedule, he will gain even more He didn't gain one ounce of leverage. Conner played great. In fact, it could easily be said that the source of the shenanigans resulting in bad results was BECAUSE the Bell situation screwed with their heads.

SpenceToons 70 Posted September 9, 2018 i was wrong in another thread where I suggested the absence of the vet Bell and the presence of a new OC might mean that some RBBC would creep into the PIT gameplan. A staggering number of touches for Conner today....36. Touches by Samuels, Ridley, Toussaint, etc, ......0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would have just been the same thing they did for Connor. It's true that they don't give a crap about using him up. But 36 touches is 36 touches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,451 Posted September 10, 2018 I think Bell is just tired of playing for a team who’s coaching staff doesn’t believe in making in game adjustments. Most over rated coaching staff in football, counting college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
