Two different things but yes he has potential.
And Mr. Woodman did you get your survival pick in yet? Last year I forgot to confirm week 1 and lost it......but still went deep.

missing Bell won't much matter..first, i listened to bells agent on sirius. a very sharp dude that should rep the players union. bell can holdout to week 10 and still collect a portion of the franchise tag..very well may happen, if bell wants to avoid injury risk on a team that rented him.(franchise tags don't work anymore).Conner maybe there every down back? But he still struggles catching the football. They drafted a NCST guy that i watched in Jaylen Samuels..This guy can catch & run..So in basic's. It's like watching Duke run on the field sending up a red flag to assign a body to him..slight advantage us, if bell sits?

Don't get over confident yet. James Conner is a good back too. We'll just see what happens Sunday.

As long as they don't get all unified and all that stuff it's ok, Bell is still one of the best RBs in the NFL.
NOW just go sack the crap outta' big ben.

With the Steelers O line, they can plug just about any back in there and get results. Not quite as good as Leveon, but very close. Just think about how patient Bell is, waiting for the hole to open. The Oline is still the key.

The Steelers are worse without Bell, so that helps. The key to this game whether Bell was their or not is getting pressure on the QB and limiting the passing game. If we don't do that it won't matter who is at RB.

He's mediocre, despite his great story.

I'd like to point out something that Bell's agent very correctly stated. In these situations we always talk about why the player is a POS for not honoring a contract, tender, etc. The issue no one seems to raise however is that the owners/GMs by that very same argument get ZERO crap for doing the exact same thing. They cut players all the time (see Dan Bailey) and don't honor contracts but for some reason that's okay. But when a dude like Bell holds out for what he's worth, he's a scumbag. Extremely inconsistent logic.

Conner by most accounts was a 1st round talent before he was diagnosed (and MCL injury, to be fair). With Bell getting 406 touches last year Conner didn't have much of a shot to show his skills either. I would not be surprised in the slightest if he does damage (although I hope he doesn't, obviously).

Fair enough. But, as Old Blue Eyes said: "That's Life". I would only ask this; can the $850K that he is losing out on each game be donated somewhere?

Now extend that logic to someone who wouldn't make millions of dollars a season.
You and I don't have to work at a place that has the power to cut/fire us every day we go in... it's also possible to have a multi-year contract for your job.
Hint: All the whining you hear about how "many STEM openings exist" ... Exactly how many times have you heard the actual truth, which is that many companies simply aren't trying to pay the actual market-clearing salary to US citizens with those degrees? People with those degrees are the smart people, which means that they're going to find something else to do to make more money.. and so that "job" would remain unfilled until the company steps up the compensation.

Yeah... in the vicinity of "good" a zip code Bell left behind him long ago.
If we can't handle Connor, it gonna be another long-a$$ season.
And DeAngelo was a very good RB...

Not sure where that belligerent rant came from, but I don't disagree?

gotta agree with bell here. hes well aware the plan was to run the wheels off him and let him go after this season. had 400+ touches last year, can only assume it would be a large workload this year. run him into the ground, cast him aside...nah, he saw it coming and decided to sit this one out. good for him. he'll only be 27 next year so sohuld dbe able to cash in for more than the measly 10m guaranteed they offered him in the spring.

Fauhking idiots. As if whoever the Steelers replace him with will not be just as good, maybe better. Every fahking year you morons invent imaginary scenarios that YOU THINK are the smoking gun that will FINALLY mean the demise of the Steelers.
What is even FUNNIER................... is that resident chief JACKOFF HOORTA has gone on and on and on about how Barkley was not a good draft pick because the RB is not important in todays game. LMAO.... BUT BUT BUT............................. all of a sudden you homos think the Steelers entire team is wrapped up in a RB? LMAO.
Watch Bells replacement DESTROY the Browns. Then spend the rest of the week scratching your azzess wondeing how this happened.
YESSSS? YOu say? YESSSSSSSSSS.............. dumb butt Browns relax, let up your intensity, fall asleep thinking that the Steelers won't be ready for the Schidtstains.
If anyone "destroys" the Browns....it will be BR and Brown. Not Bells replacement. Last year, in that first game, the Steelers gained all of 35 yards vs. the Browns on the ground...that was WITH Bell. This Browns defense is better than that, and Bell won't be there.
No, if the Browns lose, it will be because they still win not learned how to handle A. Brown.

Go see my thread about Additive BS. Last year has no bearing on anything.
AGAIN....you do nothing but reinforce my point about how fahking stupid you idiots are. On and on and on you blasted me about how Barkley was not a good pick because the RB is not important in today's game, but here you idiots are having orgasms about a RB not playing.

The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -

Fair enough. Last year has no bearing on this year. But the fact remains, the Stoolers now have an unknown quantity backup RB going instead of a proven All Pro going. I suppose you would also say that if BR were out and the Stoolers had Josh Dobbs as their starting QB, that that would make no difference? Same basic thing.

I don't think I personally said that Barkley would not be a good pickup....if he were there at the #4 spot the Browns were drafting. I just said that it was more imperative that they take the best QB, the far more important position. (would you argue that?) I also said that I didn't think that the dropoff in talent available in the draft from Barkley was all that much. That someone like Chubb, or Penny or Michel or Guice could turn out to be as good as Barkley. And that may still be exactly the case. We have no clue yet.
