Its whatever. He had 70 more touches yet only got 62 more yards last year than 2016 and compared to his last full season prior (2014) he had 58 more touches for 300 LESS yards. He trending downward. It is what it is. No real argument, just fact.

Yes. Whenever you comment, it's whatever.

So basically all you guys are just pretending you dont care about Bell? All I'm doing is pointing out he's trending down which isn't controversial or surprising, given his age and all the Steelers fans who are claiming not to have a shit if he leaves are getting all jimmy rustles. Lol.

Bell is a fine RB but he's not exceptional at this point. He gets a load of touches and if decent when he gets it. That's about it

um, no, he's still very exceptional when he has the ball, hell, even when he's on the field because of how the defense has to react to him. and there's are teams that would be willing to cave to his demands. But Pittsburgh is not one of them. your boy freeman, on the other hand, is an example of a "fine, yet not exceptional" running back.

He's a compiler st this point. Lots of guys can get 1800 yards with 406 touches. Just reality . 2014 Bell was elite, even 2016. Last year Bell just got the ball a lot

2 guys above 1800 and 1 just a tad under 1800. So no, not a lot of players have this type of production. I think you're under valuing what he can still do.

It took him 3-4 games last year to get his feet wet after holding out of camps. That's the only reason why his ypr/ypc numbers weren't as good. But he was every bit as elite as he was in 2015-2016, last season. Even his peers & coaches thought it was his best year yet. I'll trust their word over an armchair GM.

I really hope that you aren't implying that Freeman is better. You're not that stupid.
