    His team sucks but I think he is having a pretty good start to the season. It's going to be all for nothing, team wise, because the jets are not going anywhere. I think personal stats are all he cares about anyway

    Close. Cash money is his #1 priority. It's a shame he doesn't have any business sense.

    Re: Le’Veon Bell. Off to a HUGE start

    What do u guys think of his season so far? I thought he would be doing a lot better . I wasn’t expecting miracles because of the Jets OLine but thought his quality would help . It hasn’t . I suppose the grass is always greener as are the dollars.

    I'm enjoying his lack of production, maybe he'll learn some humility

    Anyone still think not having Le'Veon has made an impact?

    Partially agree but at the same time, the game flow for that game was going through Jared Goff and Cooper Kupp...Gurley was an after thought.

    Gurley has a chronic knee injury that they discovered the same season he signed his huge contract. He is a shell of his former self. While the timing of it was unbelievably bad for the Rams, I wouldn't write off every big-name RB because of that.

    He has been an after thought most of the year. Through 7 games 92 carries for 355 yards (97 of those yards in week 1) and 15 receptions for 81 yards

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/game...todd-gurley-ii

    And the bigger cap hit comes in 2020 - $17.25 million in salary and prorated bonus/$25 million in dead money if he is released

    https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/los-ange...-gurley-16734/

    The wear and tear on running backs makes it hard to justify signing them to big deals after their rookie deal - most teams have reached that conclusion

    The NFL has a lot of money to spend—the cap has risen by about $60 million in seven years—and running backs are lagging far behind. In 2018, the position’s franchise tag number—the average of the top 10 salaries—was lower than it was five years earlier.

    Old ass Adrian Peterson has more yards than Leave'on Bell and his team is just as shitty or even shittier than the J-E-T-S.

    Conner, unfortunately, isn’t doing much better.

    True but we're talking about Le'veon Bell here who thought he would have the same success he had here with the crap green team.

    Not upset that they didn't meet his price. Am I still unwaveringly convinced that Leveon Bell is a better back than anyone on the 2019 Steelers roster? Absolutely.

    The struggles of the NY Jets can not be laid at Bell's feet. The team is clearly a mess. They cut a player for getting medically recommended surgery.

    Agreed.

    Not a slam on Conner, just an acknowledgment that when he is not suspended for weed or injured Bell is exceptional if he has a functional QB and someone to block for him

    But in terms of having limited dollars to spend, since this is not baseball, IMO gaming out the costs/benefits of sinking of $$$ into the RB position rather than at other positions does not support paying what the Le'Veons, Gurleys & Elliotts of the RB world have received on their second contracts

    By how much? That gap couldn't be too much.

    Bell is overrated, I've been saying that for a while you people who say he's better than Conner are still living in 2014. At his best, yeah he was better than Conner for sure. Right now he's the perrennial sub 4.0 ypc overrated POS who will never amount to anything, or win anything.

    Not sure. But certainly not $15 million cap dollars.

    Not certain I can name 10 RBs that are "better" than Bell, but I think I can readily do it with Conner.

    Bell should have taken the Steelers offer and kept his mouth shut. Everybody would have been better off.

    Bell still would've been a locker room cancer though. He sees everything through a lens of racism and slavery and poisons others around him with it. I'm glad to be rid of him and glad his stunt backfired in his face.

    This.

    There were several carries tonight that I thought, "You know, Bell would have broken that for half a dozen more yards or so."

    Conner is the better back between him and Le'Veon at this point in their careers. Bell is trash and so are the jets

    I can name 10 better than Bell. And it's not even hard. I refuse to live in the past with Bell and act as if it's 2016. He was average in 2017 and sucks this year.

    While Bell may have better stats if he was with the Steelers, I don't believe for a second the Steelers would be as good or even better with him on the team. I doubt we would have gotten Fitzpatrick and not sure if we would have moved up to get Busch. I am glad he didn't take the offer.
