Get the Polk High hero in ASAP.
He just completely checked out. I don't even follow him as I don't really care to know, but wonder if he's still trying the rap career? Steelers dodged a bullet with that one.

The player I would have taken won rookie of the year. The second year he got fat, sorry I don't have access to character reports, chalk this one up and a hit and miss.
Which is EXACTLY why they should try to get Bell back in uniform here...he's not a starter and he's better then everyone behind Najee...
Blind...
Just giving you grief Coach. Bell just completely sputtered out for sure.

Not a ******* chance, he's already tried on the uni and only looked good for awhile then turned to **** for brains.
We used him properly and all up.
The last time we offered he wasn't taking league minimum.
Thanks LeVeon for the good times but C Yz........................................

HOF numbers durring the season because he T'aint gaining jack **** in the play offs on this or any other Tomlin team. Even durring his career he didn't get much play off experience and when he did we didn't go far.
He had near 30year old NFL useage on him when he left here. If he would have stayed he would have been totally worn out in year or two. I'm glad he walked because we'd been paying big money for very little production, think cap strappped.

LevBell I hope to God you saved some money, I really do.
I enjoyed watching you play here and think you screwed up bad walking away. You could had a HOF career here and been very rich to boot but for a few bucks more, you went to NFL graveyard in Long Island.
I don’t think we want you back now! You and AB bit the hand that fed you.

That game was at Polk High and he was used properly in that game.
The real person who played Al went on to be the last man cut at end of STEELERS training camp in 67' or 68' (can't remeber the year for sure).

Been nothing more than a backup since he left.
Great catch DIC, totally forgot about that.

All jokes aside it's a shame honestly.
Dude let greed ruin his career. You can't sit out in your prime as an NFL RB. The window isn't normally that big to begin with.
You can say it was just business or however you want to label it but it was a flat out poor decision. I don't feel bad for him but I would hope others that may find themselves in the same position took note of how it played out for Bell.

I'm betting his 2.7 yard per carry average on one of the leagues better rushing teams.

Does he? Between his agent, his lifestyle and his seeming inability to generate an income right now, I'm not certain he's got much money left.
undrafted free agent under some rookie coach.... competing with LC something and Joe mean something..
back in the summer of '69
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
I was thinking the same thing. It is disappointing. Then again, our coaches seem to not know many times who the best players are to put on the field. I am still baffled that Ray Ray, Cody and Sims are better than Miller. Maybe it's all true but I have my doubts. Maybe they will actually let Banner play this weekend. After all, he was supposed to be one of our starters.

Wonder where all the talking heads are now who were saying what a savvy business move it was back then? I haven't seen one of those ***** on tv with a nice knife and fork and a full plate of crow.

I thought Bell was one of the most overrated players ever. He put up great numbers but had a ton of touches. He was slow for an RB, but did have a little short burst at the line. I think if you put Bell at his prime on this team Najee would still have the better numbers. The line simply can't block long enough or well enough for Bells style. Even if Bell stayed with the Steelers i think he would have flamed out very quick when the line forgot how to block.
He had a lot of touches but don't forget he used to avoid contact like the plague. He ran out of bounds or fell down quite a lot to avoid contact.
Many rbs are washed up by 29… they take too many hits and lose the ability to process the holes quickly or lose the legs to get there… check out Todd gurley… superstar a few years back… knee issues caught up with him abd he is done at like 27
For every on adrial peterson or frank gore who play well into their 30’s tgere are probably ten or twenty rbs that will be done before they are 30… its a brutal position to play
