its not grasping at straws. they did more to the locker room than bell ever did, but no one cared when it was time for them to sign on a new team the locker room thing has been brought up many times on this forum as a reason to not sign bell, but he didint even do that much

palmer was never tagged, my bad him and cousins both definitely made impact on the locker room though, and thats what everyone seems to be so worried about here. fans didnt mind bringing those guys in after that though bell apparently wants to come here, i dont see the locker room stuff following him

palmer refused to play for them anymore

or he will just take what he can get. its like people want this guy to be out of the league though he did nothing wrong. cousins and palmer both fought back after being tagged too, and fans didnt turn on them like they did to bell

he will have to accept what hes offered this time, or retire maybe we dont offer what hes looking for and neither does anyone else. what happens then?

that was a bit vague, opportunity could pop up at anytime and some team might want to make a move before they need him. it will be interesting if a team with a lesser qb than luck wants to bring him in as a back up. does he leave to a place where he has a greater chance to play, but still no guarantee, or does he stay with whats familiar? it could come down to money too, i wonder how they value him here

i doubt any team is going to promise him a starting job if he hits free agency, but there are a few places where he could compete for it or be used to push their starter. he has to know he will never beat out a healthy andrew luck i would be interested in him if i were the bucs. JB is very similar to JW in measurables, playing style and age, but without any off the field concerns

bell actually wants to come here, he did help the steelers when he played the brown situation is complicated. hes not a bad guy, but he is stuck with ben and its understandable when guys cant get along with him. that guy is terrible

the goal is to win a super bowl, not just make the playoffs. we have a long ways to go still to be the best team in the league.

they made the playoffs when they had brown and bell, then missed out this year without them bell did nothing wrong either. palmer and cousins were in a similar spot and they made similar moves

good made some comments about dave after he was released. he felt like dave didnt give him enough time after his brother died, and they were trying to force him back on the field

i agree but it seems like people have made up their minds that these two are locker room cancers. thats pretty unfair towards bell imo, no top tier player wants to be tagged twice. cousins and the redskins relationship went to crap over the same thing. there are other examples too as for brown, hes no saint, but hes not a bad guy either. ty has called out the locker room before too, but everyone forgot about that i guess the biggest problem in the steelers locker room is ben if you ask me. i feel bad for these two having to deal with him

that article was brief, but ballard was very involved with that pick. he talked about hill in detail during a verbal interview at one point, thats what i was trying to explain. he personally made a detailed personalty report on hill, and that was the main reason they went ahead and drafted him i posted this because some were questioning if he was even involved with that decision, he was in fact the main reason they did it. no one was closer to tyrek hill in the chiefs scouting process than chris ballard

eli is a lock imo, winning super bowls is what its all about. if not for him and peyton, brady would have 10 rings i would lean towards a no on rivers, but wont be shocked if he gets in someday

hooker was decent this year, but i can understand why they said he lost we were hoping he would get healthy and turn into a great safety, instead he looked slower than before and his hip is still a problem too. that hip injury happened over two years ago now, that is not a good sign
