No wonder Bell took the high road yesterday...he knows he's out of here anyway. I wouldn't put that past GM Gase either.
I certainly hope this is indeed wrong. Because if it comes true, it will be the most embarrassing, humiliating display of leadership incompetence yet. Just cover the Jets HQs with a circus tent.
Edited to add: Actually, to be more precise, it is Filliponi citing John Clayton's opinion, presumably because he finds it at least interesting.
I could see it happening. And Gase would lose the team before game 1 Crazy eyed douche won’t do it.....right?
Then why read tweets and complain that they're opinions? No claim has been made that they are anything else.
That is distinctly not true. Bell has a history of complaining about the franchise tag, but not holding out under contract. The Pitt fan base is bitter, because they thought he would sign his tag at some point last year and he didn't. He has never been a locker room problem outside of not signing his franchise tenders when everyone else wanted him to.
Maybe you are right....and if you are honestly that's great. He wanted Todd Gurley $ and full guarantees ..more than the 5 year 70 million Pitt was offering (kinda high but an excellent deal for a RB imo) He took the Fran Tag cause it offered 4 mil more guaranteed OTOH he said in a 3/2019 SI article that since 2017 he didn't have such great vibes with Ben R and that "was also" a factor for him leaving citing that Big Ben did not treat him "on the same level". Sam will be friendlier and I think they will hit it off. With Gase..lets hope bygones will be bygones
Most of Big Ben’s teammates don’t get along with him. Did you forget about the Antonio Brown saga already? Ben found way of not only alienating his best weapons, but regularly called out teammates on his weekly radio show instead of keeping that stuff in house. He’s not well loved as a person in the Pittsburgh fan base, but as the saying goes, win and all else is forgiven.
Has he ever played for a perennial loser professionally? This will take some getting used to by Bell but he knew what he was getting into when he took the money. This is shaping up to be quite the season. Certainly not as dull as 2018 was.
Can I create another thread titled " Gase and Mac spoke Tuesday and Wednesday and all was good , what riff ? " asking for a friend
