Bell plans to stick to his number -- which he isn't revealing -- and is accounting for everything. Asked about his criteria for assessing that worth, Bell explained:
He's putting up more yards per game than any NFL player (his career average of 128.9 yards from scrimmage per game is the best since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger).
>>>He's just getting a lot more attempts, which means a shorter career and his YPR and YPC is below average!
He plays every down and basically fills the role of three backs.
>>>I'd much rather have two backs for 1/3rd or 1/4th of the price. See the Super bowl champion Eagles, or their opponents.
His presence keeps the defense off guard because he can line up anywhere on any play, "causing constant mismatches every single down," he said.
>>>Somewhat, but they know he's less likely to make a big play. I'd much rather get the ball in a faster player's hands. He's a check down back, mostly.
He's an elite pass-blocker and No. 2 receiver.
>>> Elite Pass blocker, yes but he seldom does it. Most #2 WR's, check hat just about all average better per catch.
The Steelers are undefeated when he gets 25 or more carries.
>>> Meaningless, we just use him to run out the clock when the offense scores enough. I bet most backs have similar numbers when they run it 25 times or more.
His game will age well because he makes plays not solely off athleticism, but "with my mind," he said
>>> If Bell was a 2013 used car, he'd have a lot of miles on him already. He's also a high maintenance distraction. I ponder what Superman will say if he's traded. He can surely top the standard don't let the door hit you in the vag.
