Le'Veon Bell

The excuses that the Bell-lovers have been making for him all season were just blown away by Powell's performance today.

[Oh wow]

Blown away by 3.9 ypc and no TD’s

Geez. You guys are desperate.

Powell’s stats weren’t anything special.

[Buzz]

Huh? Geez. You guys are desperate.

Powell’s stats weren’t anything special.

That's the point. Un-special as they were, they were better than Bell's ... at a much lower price.

[Mr.wizard]

I think that actually works against the argument the the Jets running woes are the fault of Bell. If you're bad at running the ball and you plug someone else in and you're still bad at running the ball, maybe it's not the running back.

[Oh wow]

It’s one game. Blown away? Smh...

[Buzz]

If I understand the salary figures correctly, Bell will make about $15 million this season -- or just a little under $1 million per game.

Powell will make about $1 million this season -- or just under $63,000 per game.

This season, Bell has averaged 3.2 yards per carry, for about 50 yards a game.

Powell, running behind the same line, averaged 3.9 yards per carry today, for 74 yards.

Maybe Powell didn't "blow away" Bell's production, but it's not hard to see who's the better value.

[Eddie Spaghetti]

anybody still defending bell and his production this year should not be taken seriously. it's universally accepted that he is having a dismal year

its just like DJ and K Drake yesterday. could you tell by the production which one was making 13+ million a year? I think teams are learning now that paying 15 million a year for a RB is a losing strategy.

[Oh wow]

I’m sorry but this sounds dumb as hell Ernie.

That’s like saying yesterday is proof you shouldn’t draft a QB with the first pick because Duck looked better than Murray.

Seriously. You can do this with ANY position where a guy making base salary has a good game or 2.

This obsession you guys have with the RB is hilarious.

Who have you heard in the AZ, Dallas, Rams and Jets orgs who has said this was a mistake? You are just making stuff up dude.

if thats what was actually stated.. id tend to agree... in this case though.. youve let the embarrasment of being wrong about bell cloud your judgement...
this has nothing to do with where they were drafted... but overpaying for the position..

and Powell wasnt a "One hit wonder". Dude outperformed Bell last year (which isnt hard to do).

Bell has fallen off of a cliff... its fine, dude.. just own it and move on

[Ernie]

and talk about OBSESSION...

thats you with your boy Bell. Tell me im wrong lol

[Ernie]

Powell averaged close to 4 ypc last year... but i guess we cant count those because their GM was fired in the off season..

Talk about dumb as hell.

Dumb is throwing out a stat and thinking one season with a new coaching staff is the end all be all of Bells career.

Then again you were the one who used one stat to compare Rudolph and Ben’s rookie year.

Well Powell also only had 80 carries and 11 catches while only playing in 7 games, he really didnt much of anything last year. So looking at just YPC doesnt really tell you a lot.
