    Oh please, don't hurt the rookie's feelings by showing him how the consummate pro goes about his business after an injury that shredded the support structure of his knee. Geesh, people will look for any reason to criticize Ben. If he says nothing, it's a problem, if he say's something it's a problem, evidently, watching Heath go through a mental and physical rehab to get back on the field isn't obvious enough of what is expected.

    Yeah, context might be nice. It doesn't make sense for Ben to "question" Bell at this point. First of all, Ben and the team is playing like $h!t themselves, and opens people up to tell him to look in the d@mn mirror. Second, Bell hasn't even been around long enough, for them to grate on each other's nerves (if this is to be believed).

    different injury. different rehab, different timetable... not cool to compare them IMO

    A SB winning QB calling out a rookie is no big deal if you are 3-0, 2-1 or even 1-1. But when you are 0-3 and if you are one of the reasons that you are, then calling out a rookie who haven't contributed to wins or losses look bad. After he blame himself then the OL and OC should be next, not a rookie...

    Guess we will ignore this post in order to overreact. I think the fans love some drama.

    Ben has blamed himself for what's going on if you haven't been listening. He's never been hesitant to accept blame, even if it shouldn't be his to accept.

    This really isn't an issue.

    It's the attitude, I am fairly certain that if you had followed Heath for the year since his surgery you would have seen a player determined and dedicated to getting back on the field, period. I'm not comparing the injury, just what is expected of a player to get back on the field.

    Now, I have no idea whether Heath busted his @ss or not and I don't have any idea if Bell is busting his @ss or not, but it seems what Ben is saying, is that if you need to see what it takes to get back on the field, you don't have to look any further than right here in this locker room.

    A Lis Franc injury can end a career and so can a shredded knee, so, in some aspects the injuries are the same, they are career threatening.

    I wish Bell a speedy recovery and 150 yards in London, but I'm not holding my breath.
