Is he better than Snell/McFarland/Ballage???
No. I don't want him...but I do question it...

I'm sure bigben will be along shortly to tell us that the Rats just didn't use the superstar properly and that he's still headed for the HoF.
I think that bridge is burned. I don't wish him bad but yeah...

Generational talent that only worked in Pittsburgh. He screwed the pooch on that. From big name to no name with only him to blame. Maybe he can put that last line in a rap song.
At least "Little Chest" went down and got himself a superbowl ring...

Break out the template
That bridge wasn't just burned, it was downright detonated. I'd place my odds of buying a superyacht (or Troglodyte buying a clue) above Bell ever coming back to Pittsburgh.

He's been cut for a reason. Again.
What's Eddie Lacy up to, Coach?
Berm, you're likely better than Snell/McFarland/Ballage.

Without a doubt. The few times I saw him play, he didn't look bad at all honestly. but....
He is 30 and he is washed up as many backs are… his run style fit our passblocking scheme so well he just didn’t realize what he had till he left… had he signed with us he probably gets cut this preseason anyhow but he would have had a solid run at borderline HOF numbers and made a lot more money… what a ******* dumbass
So you're saying there's a chance???
Tell us, oh wise one - what was the reason???
******* hilarious! The dude totally screwed himself with the stunt he did with the Steelers. He would have gotten more money staying and would probably have wrapped up a Hall of Fame career. Instead, he's just another nobody has been. What a dumb ***!
I don't want him and they wouldn't get him anyway. But.......... I do find it hard to believe he couldn't be a third down back for someone. I always thought he was one of the best pass catching RB I'd seen and pretty damn solid in pass pro.

Bell is finished but the Steelers should be more active in seeking out a backup for Harris. McFarland can't even get a hat on gameday. Think about that. He can't beat out a guy who is averaging 1.7 YPC.

At this point, I'm going to go with him not being better than Snell/McFarland/Ballage. His glory days seem way in the rear view. Tomlin rode him hard and put him up wet.
Not sure I would use wise in referencing cooch. Ever.
Steel Reign
Custom Title
On the one hand, Bell has been cut and can be signed. On the other hand, I just took a crap, it is a free agent as well. I think both pieces of crap have zero chance to have an impact for the Steelers this year. At least the latter comes with a cheaper contract.
Is Al Bundy still available? Everyone forgets about his 4 rushing touchdowns in a single game.
Yeah what is the deal with McFarland? Healthy scratch?
