That is just off the top of my head. L. Bell was a far far better NFL player when we last saw him away from Gase than any of the guys on that list. Assuming that Bell is able to assimilate the playbook quickly, I think he is going to make an instant impact for the Chiefs. Further, Gase has a history of misusing and under developing RBs (Drake, Ajayi, and now Bell) not named Frank Gore.
It is entirely possible that Bell's skills have atrophied and father time has come for another high usage rate NFL RB at a relatively young age. But, until I see 2-3 games of Bell looking useless in a Chiefs uniform, I'm betting on Adam Gase just being a useless idiot.
