Bell Defends Darold

[redseat]

Jets' Bell says NFL 'screwed' Darnold

Actually no... The JETS screwed over themselves! What did the expect with allowing Darnold to be mic'd.

Also, you know fully well they would air any qb who said that. Heck, if Brady ever got mic'd up we wouldn't even hear the actually commentators of the game.

With all that said, it actually is pretty nice to see Bell defending a teammate when they are struggling as well as the team. I highly doubt he would have defended Big Ben like he has with Darnold

I'm not wrong about the Big Ben comment, right?

... and his other brother Darold...

I'd love to hear what Bell has to say about Gase and his lack of in game adjustments

Darnold was just making an obvious reference to upcoming Halloween. Jesus this World has gotten so sensitive. I thought it was adorable.

Haha. Thanks for catching by title. I'm still getting used to this laptop and it's ridiculously small keyboard... Also, its auto correct sucks! But I made that mistake so I take the blame. Too late for me to change title

I don't understand your gripe, or why this is even a thread...

Bell, did the right thing defending his QB and his team... Whether NFL did Darnold wrong or not is a whole other debate... and one that really doesn't matter to anyone...

I am giving Bell credit for sticking up for Sam.. Which he wouldn't have done in Pittsburgh. But why should the NFL apologize or be in "the wrong" for making what a MIC'd up QB said and airing it?

@MilkSpiller22 completely forgot you were a Jets fan

see, that's a whole other debate... But sometimes, you just bite the bullet, this is probably one of those times... The NFL, should apologize because it looks good for them to... being right or wrong is irrelevant...

But why should they apologize? if any qb played like he did they would have aired the same thing...

If the roles were reversed and it was Brady playing as poorly has Sam did last night you know for sure they would have aired much more of what Brady said. That's the price you pay when you agree to get mic'd up..

The real person who should be apologizing is Gase to Darnold. He made no changes and left him out on an island to sink.

NFL needs to show players they have their backs one way or the other... If there are comments saying the NFL did wrong, they need to fix those problems immediately, even if it they are not in the wrong... This happens all the time... Make a creative statement, especially over an issue that really doesn't matter... But you cant let things like this boil... You cant make players fear using the mic'd up...

Its all about trust...

NFL did nothing wrong here at all. They didn't put words into his mouth. You get mic'd up you pay the price

 

[Shanemansj13]

That's like defending a bag of dicks but it was the right move

 

[YankeeRebel]

Darnold to LeVeon after finding out LeVeon stood up for him.

Yes it was but the NFL did nothing wrong

Not everything is about doing right or wrong... if someone looked bad, and you had the power to prevent it, and you didn't... and you are being called out on it, then you have to do something... Don't ya??

Honestly, I am not sure, if there is even much of a demand for the apology... But if this is an issue, then the NFL has to do something...

and I think we have all heard enough corporate apologies to know that most are half assed and insincere... but they are still necessary for many reasons, none include being right or wrong....
