a great story.
Seems to have his head on straight
Talent around him to help him succeed (kinda like that other guy)

What about his talent

 

[Schmoopy1000]

well he has proven he can do the job.

What about his talent

Honestly not sure if it isnt the team or him or most likely the combo.

All your RBs do well in that offense however.

 

[SteelersPride]

hes a monster.

 

[dbldwn711]

Teams that rely on one main RB tend to have trouble because if/when that back gets hurt/nicked up the team can struggle.

Gurley being hurt at the end of the year didn’t help the Rams. Their backup did well.

He has done it behind the 2nd worse O-line in NFL.....

Good Power back with decent hands reminds me of Peyton Hillis

He's an NFL caliber talent, size, strength, balance, vision, etc. but he's not really a "special"runner imo..personally I like his running style over Bell's who has made it own and very productive...both have benefitted from having a very good OL...imo the Steeler OL as a collective unit is among the best in the game. Pouncey & DeCastro are the two that shine the brightest at their perspective position on the league wide stage.

Coupled with a good QB and weapons, the RB in the OFC is not asked to carry the team.

Eh...better (more elusive and instinctive) runner than Hillis imo, but some similarities.

No he's a good power back that can catch. Hillis probably would have had a solid career if he didn't get delusions of grandeur.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Powerful & instinctive 1-cut runner. As Myles Garrett put it, "that's a man's running back right there."

Incredibly hard worker. Great locker-room guy that is becoming a glue-type leader. If he can learn to avoid some hits instead of seeking them out head-on, then he just may stay healthy for an entire season.

Great story. Was in a great spot last year. Also was binge and purge. Had only 5 games with over 65 yards rushing, but all 5 were over 100. I'm rooting for him and think he will have a good season, but when all is said and done I don't think he is a guy we look back on and say that he was a real good player.

he's a nice story, nice athlete, runs decently, but he won't last for the long-term; too injury-prone and fumble-prone. eventually, either this year or next, snell will take his job and be the new bellcow RB for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Snell no

Snell no

Snell yes. You asked for an opinion. If you don't like it, shut the fuck up and move on.

Oh fuck off. Snell has some seriously bad draft flags. Well see

 

[Inquisitor95]

He will be awesome.

Until a Terminator comes in from the future and takes him out.
