[quote="SI1996" post=399009]How did the Le’Veon Bell experiment go?[/quote]
I know Bell is 28, but it appears either his best years are behind him, or he was simply the beneficiary of an amazing Steelers system. RB's have very little shelf life. Even after 4-5 yrs some guys are finished. I still remember when Curtis Martin at like 36 was dominating the league and never got hurt. Players were just built differently back in the day. Remember when teams had 1 main RB getting 90% of the carries every year? Different time now. I will repeat this point only because it shows the absurdity...the last time we drafted a true 1st round offensive weapon was almost 20 yrs ago with Santana Moss. In addition to him, we had Coles, Chrebet, Martin, and a good QB in Pennington. That's the last time we had a rock solid offense that made other teams nervous. Then at some point soon after, we decided we would not try to score TD's and try to just have good defenses. You see the product of that stupid philosophy. The NFL has been about offense for a while and will be for the near future. High octane, playmakers, deep throws, big plays. Franchise QB and at least 3 solid weapons, some of which are Pro Bowl level is the recipe.
