Bell: 1 game ONLY ....... 5 year gauranteed .......... Yes, you heard me right !!!!!! $59.8 mil plus a little meter change.






Salute the nation
 
He would be dumb to not to go to KC. If he wants to win and a ring, they would be his best bet. MIA is NYJ light and Buffalo is good, but not KC SB winning good.
 
If Bell goes to Buffalo, what does that say about AB who refused a trade there?

I think he has proven Meveon doesn't give a rats *** about winning...

He has just 13 less rushing yards than Alvin Kamara despite playing one less game, and has a better PYC (4.9 vs. 4.6). He ranks 16th in the NFL in rushing yards per game. He ranks 12th among RB's in yards per carry (two ahead of him, Murray and Jackson, are QB's).

So if he has had "1 good run all year," that bodes very well for the Steelers. Wow, imagine when he starts getting 1 good run per game - top 5 in yards per game, top 5 in YPC?

Conner has looked decent this year, not great, he's no Alvin Kamara.


Only a Steeler fan would try to make an argument in favor of Conner over kamara.

Kamara has 676 all purpose yards and 7 TD
Conner has 350 and 3 TD (Big improvement over last year)
Kamara has more yards receiving alone than Conner has all purpose yards.

16th ranked in the league is not anything special, especially considering Most of the top backs are injured

Alvin Kamara would look great in Black & Gold.
 
I'd pass if only because of the way he hitched his wagon to AB to try to gain points against Ben and the Steelers. That was so immature and opportunistic.

Ok, so first...
Again, statistically, Conner has performed better in every category than Bell since Bell left. (And for those of you who don't remember, toward the end Bell wasn't lighting it up here either.)
I find it humorous that thief suggested Conner goes down easily. Bell COULD NOT break a tackle to save his soul. He had a LOT of 5 and 6 yard runs. He had very few 10+ yard runs and he almost never broke 20 or 25+ yard runs. He was too slow and was ALWAYS caught from behind.
Bell couldn't score TDs.
He can catch, and he didn't fumble often. Aside from that... You guys are remembering Bell through rose-colored glasses.

Bell wasn't lighting it up in Pittsburgh? Um, maybe you missed his last effort, the playoff game against Jacksonville, when he put up 155 total yards from scrimmage with 2 touchdowns (including a 21-yard run and a 22-yard reception) against the 2nd best defense in the league in 2017. And this was after Tomlin ran the wheels off him in the regular season to the tune of a league-leading 321 carries in just 15 games.

The guy had 1946 yards rushing and receiving in those 15 games in 2017, to go with 11 touchdowns.

Not saying I'd want Bell back at this point, but your memory is a bit foggy.
 
I can't argue bell didn't put up huge numbers in pittsburgh, but we are also one of the few teams that almost exclusively used 1 back. If any decent backs had as many touches as bell they would put up similar numbers. Bell was also slow as noted by his lack of long runs.
