Le'Veon Bell wastes no time squabbling with fans after game

[polamalubeast]

It didn’t take long for Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell to get on social media after the team’s 21-18 win over the Cleveland Browns. He probably gets hundreds of messages a day on social media that go to the wayside without a response. But if you call him out for missing camp you will get yourself a reply. Bell chose to engage a couple of fans after the game who questioned his numbers and him missing all of training camp with a holdout.

What was up with Le’Veon Bell?

By: Curt Popejoy
Mandatory Credit: Scott R. Galvin-USA TODAY Sports

Bell finished the game with 32 rushing yards on only 10 carries. The offensive line did him no favors but beyond the rust, we might be seeing his schtick wearing thin with opposing defenses. His trademark patient style doesn’t work when defenses attack gaps and the Browns were very successful with that. His best runs of the day happened when he attacked the line of scrimmage and engaged the linebackers on the second level.

From Bellcow to Lolcow.

He was indeed!

Not sure how I feel about so called fans talking smack. Part of me agrees with them but part of me wishes they would STFU. It's one game and they won. Whaa whaa whaa!!

What purpose does this serve him? What is it that he hopes to gain from this? If he wants attention then keep doing what you are doing, but if you want people to stop criticizing you, shut up and produce on the field

Steelers Nation has found its newest scapegoat and his name is Le'Veon Bell...

[GBMelBlount]

I wonder if the Steelers might have paid him 17 mil if he was an antisocial mute.

I don't think many in Steeler Nation set out to make Bell a scapegoat this season.

Any heat directed his way is justified. You miss camp and the entire preseason, you invite the criticism.

I guess we'll agree to disagree, then. This fanbase is lightning quick about turning on players in my experience.

This is an absolute crock. How many times have we ALL watched Bell turn what should be negative yardage into a 6+ yard carry by being patient and not just trying to hit a hole that isn't there and running up the backs of his own blockers and falling down behind the LOS, a la Mendenhall?

It happens in may fanbases. It just finds a player quicker when fans perceive any degree of selfishness.

Imagine social media when these guys held out:

Hines Ward
Jack Lambert
Franco Harris
Rod Woodson

All these guys held out at one point.

[Neversatisfied]

Its a very sad situation, Bell makes it very hard to like him as a person. On one hand youve got a guy that is very productive on the field and can be a game changer. On the other youve got a peson that has been suspended more than once, have proven to be very selfish and is the complete opposite of humble. It seems easier to route for Bell to fail so dumping him in the offseason is best for the team but as Fans we want him to succeed for the benifit of the team. He's an asshole but a very talented one.

However, to its credit, the Nation is also pretty forgiving. AB's Facebook Live antics seem to be a million years in the past after his overall performance and the insane grabs he made today.

Yep, but players who were underpaid, were team players, led by example and players who played the entired season. They are also players who weren't suspended for drug use. The list goes on and on. I wanted Bell gone after the first joint.

Bell strikes me as a person who will set it on cruise control when he gets paid.

An anslogy:
I get annoyed when my three-year-old writes on the wall... but, I sort of expect it: he's three.

I get annoyed when these millennials act a fool on social media... but, I sort of expect it: they're millennials.

Great analogy!......or should I say anslogy.

Not my point. I am pointing out the idiot "fans" on social media who turn on players in an instant. Most of these fans are bandwagon fans who have nothing better to do than troll.

I'm not excusing Bell's antics. He's wasting his time with these trolls as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, I bet he is hoping that Robert Golden gets some playing time so he can replace Bell as the Scapegoat.

So we gave stupid a meagphone with social media. Now we all want to stand back and wring our hands when stupid picks it up and uses it to declare their stupidity loudly.

Everyone is so quick to turn on guys like Bell and brand them as degenerates or whatever. Bell does numerous charitable works each year. Sure he got caught smoking weed and that has just mind-numbingly stupid. His second "offense" caused the NFL to essentially admit that they were being dicks.

Look, Bell is young, brash, arrogant, and really really good. He's also 25 and demonstrates the maturity of most cocksure 25 year olds. Shocking.

Wanna see a real dirtball, look into Zeke Elliot. Or ODB. Or basically any one of the NFL players who continually commits actual crimes, beats on weaker individuals, and generally treats the people around them like shit.

Or you all could keep blaming this kid for everything. I mean he probably was the single biggest reason that Obama got elected - both times!

[Craic]

We all know who the real scapegoat is: Todd Haley, he crashes into Roosevelt Nix and David Johnson too much, even though Johnson's no long here. At least we know it's not Jesse James. James is bigger and better than Gronk, or, at least, that argument rings a bell.

[Lady Steel]

Bell sure does have a lot of time to spend on Twitter, but none to show up for training camp. Nope, don't feel bad for him. I show up for work every damn day whether I get a pay increase or not, and I'm sure as hell not making as much money as he is, so he can suck it.

[Steeldude]

I am glad Bell turned down the Steelers offer. Hopefully the Steelers will shrink their next offer by at least 40%, if there is a next offer.
