I guess I look at it as there's a chance Bell eats away CEH's carries which messes with a young kids mind when he was doing well. Like my above post, I could be way off on this.
I doubt that happens with the kid....he knows he's the future.....they are just adding some depth.
As if that team needs more depth on offense. Lol
Well, they didn't have enough to beat the Raiders.
Division games are the toughest games and Raiders got a solid victory that day.
Meh, these guys are supposed to be pros. Look at what Kamara did...
Valid point
I don't think we really know what his role will be yet. If he manages to find his form behind a much better line, he could totally take over a workhorse role. He has every incentive to do that to, he finds himself a free agent last year. Look at what the Phins, 2nd stringer Damien Williams did when he joined the Cheifs taking over after Hunt got cut. He's the same age as Bell by the way.
Also imagine Bell and CEH in the same backfield.....
Bell will be a pass catching back for sure but just think back to 2017. One of the best players in the league. Not just RBs, but players altogether. Now to 2018, where, because he feels like he should be paid more because of that, he misses an entire season. In 2019, he gets signed by the Jets, after taking a pay cut from what he wanted from Pittsburgh, and his first season is a season of under 800 yards rushing and just 3 rushing TDs. Now 2020, he misses a month due to injury and during the time that he's played, he's just rushed for 74 yards. 14 yards week 1 and 60 week 5. 3 receptions and has yet to see the endzone. What a fall. Yeah, he'll likely get his SB ring but, this guy could've been something for the history books in terms of a pass catching RB. But his greed got in the way of that and now he's gotta try and prove himself in a role where he'll be sharing the rock with a rookie and as a pass catcher, he'll be competing for targets with Kelci, Robinson, Watkins and Hill. I don't have much confidence in his usage at KC but there's always a chance that I'm wrong.
This. All of this. He's shown that if he doesn't get the touches that he thinks he deserves, he will complain on social media and potentially bring down locker room morale. Happened in Pittsburgh, happened in New York, is his 3rd time the charm?
KC's zone run game is fairly read and react. CEH is kinda of like Bell's mini me and just does it faster but I could totally see the Chiefs putting Bell in as the closer. In the Super Bowl, Damien Williams had the clinching TD run because the Niners defense was totally gassed. Bell, if he still has 'it' is going to be that guy for KC.
You talking about backup rb like it is a backup qb position. A backup rb can still get 13-17 touches per game in the right situation
