Kinda sounds like our offense with Ben, doesn't it? All the more reason why we are better off without Bell and that bloated contract. Itll go down as one of the worst deal (Jets) in the last decade.

It was good for us, its going to help us keep the defense intact, but thats not taking anything from Bell he was still great for us. The Jets got a good player their coach just flat out sucks.

You are being overly dramatic (surprise, surprise). Nobodys saying that (seriously).

You were just asking why he wasn’t getting more touches and couldn’t unseat a rookie. That was never the idea when he went to KC but you asked because YOU were being dramatic and sensational.

LMAO. No it won’t. The Jets have a ton of bad contracts and made a ton of bad moves.

Gase is the biggest mistake the Jets ever made, not Bell.

Theres a hell of a difference between a "Good player"... and what Bell was being described as on this forum (by a select few) for a long time after he left.

mans this is the problem with this debate. People need it to be one way or the other. If we kept him it would surely kill our whole defense because 14 million just isn’t possible in today’s NFL. Yes, that’s sarcasm.

Isn’t it weird how 14 would just ruin a whole teams future? Especially the Steelers because they’ve never had to deal with that type of money before and the franchise has no idea what it’s doing.

I didnt say that Bell was the worst mistake the Jets ever made... anybody who thinks that the Bell move went down as anything other than a bust.... clearly is letting their feelings get in the way.

I dont think Wizard was agreeing with you. He stated that Bell leaving was good for us. Not sure why youd attach his post as support for your argument..

[NJ-STEELER]

did anyone hear collinsworth last night describe leveon and the scanario of him signing with KC?

saying he's "so unselfselfish" because he wanted CEH's ok to sign there.

lololololo

yeah, ole leveon is unselfishness personified

Im not saying the contract is the only factor but it certainly makes it easier. Obviously we can't know what would of happened if Bell stayed Pittsburgh. So with some of our defensive contracts coming up not having Bell on the books is certainly going to help. Im not saying signing Bell would have been a bad move, only that in our current state it will be nice not having to work around that contract.

I linked to wizard because he’s rational.

Forget defense, the Steelers have some really tough choices on offense coming up. JJSS, AV, Conner, McDonald, Banner, McCloud, etc.... and the elephant in the room... the QB's contract.

We have seen the offensive positions are much easier to replace through the draft than the defensive ones. Defense in my opinion are the most important contracts.

Well, I think the QB staying is a sure thing given what we saw last year and now see this year.

IMO pretty much all the others are gone. I'd love to keep JuJu and AV, but you can replace Conner at RB. McDonald isn't avauilable a lot of the time anyway. We have proven we can survive without Banner. Feiler is worse at Guard than he was at Tackle.

McCloud I'd love to keep.

Sure you did

umm, ok. Thanks.
