LeVeon Bell is the perfect example of "the grass isnt always greener on the other side". He had the ideal setup in Pittsburgh: a player-first coach, an adoring fanbase that worshiped the ground he walked on, and an o-line that had more pro bowlers than Bell had healthy seasons. He was offered 14M/yr which is an insane contract even today, and he was on a roster that was competing for super bowls for the entirety of that contract. He had EVERYTHING he could have asked for......but he thought he could get it all and more somewhere or somehow else. And we all saw what happened as a result

Didn't Brown do pretty decent for a while at first? I definitely feel like Brown's problem was more that he wasn't mentally the same ever since he got clocked in the head facing the Bengals. I'd agree with you on Bell though, but I think a lot of that has to do with missing a year and joining with the Jets when Gase was the HC. He seemed less of a power back and more of a shifty and elusive style runner. I think that's probably a good part of what made him as effective as a receiving back as well.

Adam Gase's actual comment about Bell was that his offense didn't need a feature back. Seriously? Why would a coach deliberately not try to use a player? If the offensive line sucks, like the Jets did, why not throw to him either out of the backfield or out of the slot? Incompetence reigned supreme with the Jets.

Bell had an ideal situation in Pittsburgh. A HOF QB, arguably the best WR in the game, and a great O line. The offense was so loaded that teams couldn't just isolate one area of the game. Any decent RB was going to thrive in Pittsburgh at that time, case in point James Connor. Also, I'm not buying for a second that Leveon intended to only sit out 1 game but changed his mind due to comments from teammates. That doesnt even make any sense.

I also broke my neck playing football and was paralyzed from the neck down like Shazzer. I was only 14 and in 9th grade. I lost all chances at being a professional baseball player. When you're that good of an athlete and to lose your ability to walk, run, play sports its devastating, and sent me into severe clinical depression. Even though I recovered better than most ever thought possible. I don't know of or have heard of any other former athlete who sustained the magnitude of injury I had, C4-C5 and can snow ski down double backs unassisted. golf, play tennis etc, still with major weakness in my upper extremities. What was devastating for me is that I never fully recovered and could not compete against able-bodied athletes. Yet I don't need a wheelchair, so para-Olympics was out. because my upper body was to weak. Yet here I was accomplishing physical feats unheard of, but no way to show my athletic ability to anyone because there are nSo competitions for an athlete like myself. My depression hit me hard. I have tremendous empathy for any athlete that suffers a career ending injury. I have people ask me how did I know I could have played professional baseball? Well you just know.

I might be in the minority, but I can actually appreciate Bells' intent. With his usage rate and how NFL contracts are structured, it makes sense to negotiate for more guaranteed money than what the Steelers were offering.

I don't appreciate it. It was a dipsh1t move. Pittsburgh offered $10MM signing bonus and $33MM the first two years, and they never cut somebody 1 year into a long-term. That is $43MM which is more than the Jets, and the yearly rate if he continued would have further outpaced the Jets offer. Plus, he would have been playing for a winning team, instead of the dregs. He literally lost millions of dollars and sabotaged his entire career. Probably shouldn't have smoked as much weed.

@@bauerj3398 It honestly is hilarious that you think you get to appreciate/not appreciate someone's business decisions in life. He still walked away with tens of millions of dollars. The only thing that really could be discussed is leaving a solid program like Pittsburgh for the clown show in New Jersey. But in life, people do take lame jobs because the paychecks are bigger.

Calling the NFL a "league built on underpaying players" is completely insane. Even if you meant just RBs, that's only very recent history.

Idk about underpaying... NFL players make more than most other jobs. And wayyyy more money than you can get at any job that will hire someone off the street who has the temperament of the average NFL player. Not only that, but being a well regarded NFL player gives you a lot of leverage for getting other jobs in the media or business after you retire from the league. Not to play defense for a mega corporation but it's hard to think of Bell as an ahead-of-his-time labor activist.

Elite line play IS AFC north football. During college pro days, Pittsburgh’s O line coach Pat Meyer is *the* coach that works out the college players for all the NFL coaches to see. He’s the coach picked by all the other coaches to evaluate the future of the league. In hindsight, both Bell’s and Connor’s success in Pittsburgh was, in a very big way, due to that offensive line.

Whoa. Giving bell credit for the passing catching trend is an egregious error. College football had a bigger impact on that than bell. In fact it was seen all the time before bell even attended msu. It was bright in as apart of nfl offenses being dumbed down significantly trend combined with the old nfl coaching tactic of utilizing something over and over until it’s stopped
