The DWill is better then Bell crowd

that guy wearing #26 might be good if he can get on the field

those that would take Williams in place of Bell would probably like Metenberger over Roethlisberger

And who were those idiots that were dead serious about wanting to trade Ben last year?
Probably the same ones that think DW is better than Bell.
But I'm not knocking Williams, he's a hell of a back.

Can't remember that guys name. Always negative; spent a lot of time riding Vader's jock and antagonizing Antdrew. Haven't seen much of him since last season started to look up.

Coach? ;)


Just kidding coach. In my opinion though. Liking D Wills running so far. Keep him churning and slowly implement Bell. Bell can and will do damage on 1st down situations. 3rd and short bring in D Will. Thats my opinion though. Ben has weapons galore this season, as much as I wanna say so and so is better. As long as the offense can move and produce points. I dont care who. Just win. 2-0 start is damn good
 
Anyone who thinks Williams is superior to Bell in any way either has the worst short term memory problem I've ever seen or has completely lost their mind. Good grief, Bell when on the field is always in the conversation as possibly the greatest all around RB in the league by any pundit you can find. This can't be a serious discussion.
 
From just pure running the ball, I give the edge to dwill, bell is almost to patient on plays where he just needs to go, Williams seems to know when to be patient and when to just go, Bell will get that with experience.

Bell is way more versatile and a complete back though, he's like a wr coming out of the backfield and can line up as a wr, also better blocker.
 
I don't know who this "crowd" is, but if I had to cut one of them right now, it would be Bell. Play on the field wins championships, not potential.

Agree. Like I said, he'll fail another drug test at some point and get suspended. You don't make the club in the tub.

Insanity or Idiotech?

Bell was only like that his first year. Because there were no holes. The line sucked. The left side was *** because Beachum while good at pass protection provided no push..so we ran right exclusively. Once the line improved you saw less and less of Bell waiting like that.

Nah Insaniti is cool. Idioteque was a moron. Mr "I will wait patiently". "The arrow is pointing down"
 
There is no way DW could keep up this workload for a full season. The reason they are using him so heavily is because they know he'll be back to maybe 10 touches per game by week 5.

I do think DW has better vision as a runner. Bell is known for the way he waits with the ball. He gets away with that because he is so athletic. Bell doesn't anticipate the hole. He has to see the hole before he takes it. Few RBs could get away with his style. DW has great vision and is better able to read the blocks and know where the crack will be so he can get there as it opens.

It's funny that you noticed that and that you are right, because every week, the announcers constantly say that D Will is now like Bell, in that he patiently waits for the hole to open, but, in reality, he does not wait as long as Bell, just as you point out.
