Bell is not the Answer.

[BuffaloBlitz83]

I have seen absolutely nothing from this guy that makes me feel confident about his potential. Everytime I hear False start, I yell NUMBER 777 before they announce it, and I'm right 90% of time!

Meredith for example, I have far more confidence in and he hasn't even been on team for 3 weeks!

Buffalo better not put all there faith on bell and skip drafting or signing a top LT. You can't screw over our next QB w/o a LT. Bell stinks. I'm tired of hearing, he is young, he is hard working. Everyone on our line is young and inexperienced but they do a decent job compared to this guy.

BELL BETTER BE A ROTATING TACKLE. They better get a legit LT.

Re: Bell is not the Answer.

I think he has potential but they've asked way too much of him given his lack of experience. I don't think Bell is the "answer" either, but with time he can be a piece of the puzzle.

Bruce Campbell, Maryland R1'2010

Has great starting ability and more upside than any other player in the draft at LT

Re: Bell is not the Answer.

I like what I've read about Anthony Davis of Rutgers. I like the Rutger program improvement.

Re: Bell is not the Answer.

Bell is a victim he wasnt ready to play starting LT in the NFL the coaching staff rushed his development and he does show loads of potential, he needs to get stronger and smarter which will come with experiance
Boys and Girls we need to concentrate on one positon for the offseason and that is QB

I've read that Davis is a RT only so unless we are planning to draft a leftie - lacks the feet and pass protection. The same has been said of Trent Williams.

If we are looking at a R1 LT for our QB then we are looking at

Russell Okung, Oklahoma
Bruce Campbell*, Maryland
Bryan Bulaga*, Iowa
Charles Brown, USC

and if we are considering R2 then

Jason Fox, Miami
Gabe Carimi*, Wisconsin
Sam Young, Notre Dame

(* junior)

For me the drop off at LTis greater than QB and we can still find a starter on Saturday

Re: Bell is not the Answer.

I'm with Bub. It isn't Bell's fault he was thrown in as a starter at LT before he was ready. But, lets not go through the growing pains only to dump him and start again. By next year he will be much improved, I am sure.

Either way though, we need depth on the o-line so I wouldn't mind getting a solid tackle.... but QB is first, IMO.

If we have an opportunity to take a stud LT in next years draft we should, and then they can fight it out in camp

Bells experience will make him a great back up but if we can find someone who has more upside then we need to take that pick IMO... There may be a special LT that falls to us that can start right away and be better then Bell. Our OL is still a work in progress and we need to make it better. Much better IMO

I think QB is much closer than LT.

Outside of the Clausen, Bradford and Locker troika, you then have guys like Ryan Mallett, Jevan Snead, Tony Pike, Zac Robinson and PatDevlin, all of whom could start from Day1 be available in R2.

Teams currently seem to overpay at LT whilst QB tends to slide

I'd rather have an elite LT bodyguarding a talented QB than an elite QB running for his life because of a marginal LT

Thank you. I am not willing to just stick with Bell hoping he may improve one day. He was never a stud coming out of college. We need a legit stud LT and a top rated young QB

Re: Bell is not the Answer.

Marshawn was able to dance into the end zone yesterday because 77 turned the defensive end sideways and sealed the line with a 5 yard cushion

Re: Bell is not the Answer.

This guy will be like Terrance Pennington in 07. Starter one year, flat out cut the next.

Personally, I don't even care about the penalties. The guy just gets beat consistently by just about anyone. That's about all there is to say on the guy!

He's a starter cause we have no better options which is saddening. I want to draft the best available LT in RD 1 and grab a QB later in round 1 by moving up.

Well sure. But, I just think any tackle we get in the second will likely have less upside. We still need depth either way though.
