Haha, I see you reppin on your OSU!
[QUOTE=SteelBuckeye;583275]I'm going on record as saying we took a RB a year too early or the wrong RB this year. I hope Bell proves me wrong about Bell, but what others see as "patience" I see as tentative and indecisive. Now, with a RB like Carlos Hyde from tOSU, who runs hard, picks up blitzes and makes catches out of the backfield, Ben would have a weapon at RB. So far, I'm just not impressed with Bell as the "Bell Cow" that some of you have built him up to be.[/QUOTE]
Bell's strength now and going forward is his versatility. I do see that "indecision" you see. I don't think it is indecision; I do think he just gets caught up being too cute, and I don't like it either.
But to the thread starter, I do think he is a key to our hopes this year, for the reasons stated. He's only going to get better too, as the season goes on (shouldn't hit the wall, as he didn't play the first month of the year).
