If they do decide to move on from Darnold I don't want them to be in a position to draft Trevor Lawrence. Actually a fear of mine. TL is Peyton with a little run in his game.

msw2112 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Bell really ruined his career when he left Pittsburgh. He was regarded as one of the top RBs and top players in the league. The Steelers offered him close to top dollar for a RB and he turned it down. Then he sat out a year and made $0, then signed with the Jests for the same (or less) than Pittsburgh offered (I don't recall the exact numbers). Even if the annual was higher, if you factor in the lost season's revenue, he lost money on the deal. Now, he's an oft-injured RB with declining skills on a bad team. He's cost himself a ton of money, ruined his legacy and is getting beaten to a pulp. It's a classic example of overplaying one's hand.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 This is a situation that all players should recognize, Bell should've taken a few million less and stayed with the Steelers.

C.Biscuit97 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 It’s absolutely nuts that Pittsburgh could lose Bell and Brown for almost nothing and still be a contender.

I know a lot of people hate them but what a well run franchise. They are absolutely loaded at receiver too. My perspective on them has definitely changed. I was always in the "How do you have an elite RB, Elite WR, great OL, top 5-10 QB, and still can't put it together" camp for a long time... Now I just find myself wondering how much of the team as whole was screwed up cause of Brown and Bell's antics and overall lack of cohesion and I'm actually impressed they were as good as they were over the years with them.

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 You can guarantee that SAR I is currently spouting off on the Jets forums that the Jets actually beat the Bills because Bell missed some of the game and Darnold is still better than Allen.

Frank Gore could conceivably catch Walter Payton if he gets the carries this year and hooks up somewhere next year. 2nd all time behind Emmitt. He's got about 1300 yards to go. Kind of the Don Sutton of NFL players -- never the best at his position, not even for a year, but always able to put up the numbers. Through longevity and general 2nd/3rd starter type numbers, Sutton wound up with 324 wins as a pitcher and a Hall of Fame induction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do for sure. Lots of talk about how the Jets had an advantage in terms of roster depth. I remember being incredibly happy we weren't the team who paid a 27 year old running back who just sat out a full year of football 52 million dollars. Bell and AB are perfect examples of how little teams need me first players. The Steelers were good before they got there, and they are good now they are gone.

Woody and Gase are huge problems for that organization. Until the Johnson's are gone this will be the Jets for sometime. I love how bad Jets fans still trash/troll Allen and can't see what proper QB development looks like. I still think Sam can be a good QB but not under that organization. Sam was screwed the moment they called his name on draft day, his only hope is to see Gase fired and someone with a clue to take over at HC, and that begs the question who would be the fireman that could even hope to put out that tire fire... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not a 20-25 plus touch a game back anymore. NJ did the same thing we did when we overpaid for McCoy. Even though we got some productive years out of McCoy unlike what the Jets have gotten out of Bell which has been nothing but crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
