Le'Veon Bell

[Oviedo]

Yea, not making anyone mourn him. Then again isn't he playing for something like $1M?

$1M will barely cover the studio rental time and production costs for his next multi-platinum rap album

... yea it's gotta come out of his pocket cause no sane producer would front money for that garbage.

in the Chiefs' 33-31 victory over the Panthers Le'Veon Bell produced the following #s:

4 carries for 8 yds and 1 rec for -5 yds

I'm sooooo glad he didn't accept our more than generous contract offer!

25 yards today as a backup to a rookie. I don't see Bell ever starting a NFL game again, unless someone gets injured. Wonder where he lands next year? My guess is it will be his last, as this must be incredibly embarrassing for him.

Here are my thoughts.. "Generational/elite talents" do not back up a Rookies. I think weve seen enough of Bell by now (post Pittsburgh) to admit that we are a hell of alot better off without him...
And to add that some folks were very, very wrong about Bell (related to how he would perform away from Pitt... and the impact that Bell's departure would have on this team).

you expect him to come in and unseat a first round rookie RB after a few weeks in KC? He’s still learning the offense. Pretty sure Bell had a TD yesterday in the 4th quarter of a close game.

I will admit I didn’t think we would be 10-0 after Ben returned but it’s not like our ground game has been a bright spot. I’m happy to be wrong about winning without running the football effectively. Hopefully we don’t have to rely on our ground game in crunch time.

If Bell was as good as you repeatedly claimed... I would expect him to be an immediate game changer for any team that acquires him.. (your words). I would expect a team acquiring such an "Elite/generational talent" to build immediate packages to showcase that talent... no way I'd be limiting that guy... lol

And in terms of our running game... stop acting like Bell would make a difference.. Conner is a better running back than Bell.

The only part that bugged me was the announcers claiming Bell called CEH before he signed and made sure it was OK with him before joining KC. They said 'Bell is such a selfless player'....

Proof that "Ego" is the last thing to go...

lmao. No, I wouldn’t expect anyone to come in halfway thru the year and immediately start. The fact that he is getting touched and scored yesterday should tell you he isn’t some bench warmer.

We are ranked like 24th in rushing and the only knock on our offense is the rushing attack but you are correct. We would be worse off with Bell.

We would brother.. just admit it.. Bell and his 75 million dollar contract would be killing us right now... I'd rather have Eric Ebron and some of those pieces we were able to retain... as opposed to a Bell that's past his prime.. get over it man.. we are better off

[Ernie]

"Isnt some bench warmer"? is that the best you can do? My how far we have fallen.

Agree. Bell wouldn't be the best add to this team. Not sure he would be any better than Conner

And half of those yards were on a 13 yard carry on a 3rd and 25.. against basically a prevent defense.
