Is it still to early to be worried about Byron Bell?

I didn't have a problem with Bell starting as LT and I won't compain about it.

 

I will complain about the fact we didn't draft a replacement that can have time to learn. It is unlikley any rookie will come in and just be the better option...but the future should still be on the roster now. What I don't like is Bell being the only option and trated like he is the future...he';; have to play exactly how he hasn't played to be the future.

How many years of mediocre performance does the guy get? If he wasn't undrafted, people here would have been calling for his head years ago. But because it is a great story, everyone pulls for him despite being the weakest link in the o-line each year. I'll never forget all the love the guy got his first year of starting. It was almost sickening.

He hasn't started a real game at the position he is playing for us this year. Players progress. It can happen and sometimes you won't see it in the preseason.

That being said, I never said a word about banking our season on the guy. That was some real selective worrying of my original post. I don't know if you're new here or what but read some posts on him. If you think everyone loves him, start finding some posts and quote them.

On the real, haven't we always known he's bad? Shouldn't we have? I'll say this he's been better the. What he was drafted at... So I'd say he's about a 6-7th round quality player. I'm a honest crow eater so if I have to eat some this year so be it. But our tackle situation is so depressing.

Please tell me this has been photoshopped or something.

Nope, that was the Brett Keisel's (or however the fug that fuging shitty Steelers player name is spelled) first sack I believe.

I'll just say this.

 

If I had bad ribs, the last person I would want protecting my blindside would be Byron Bell.

 

One good thing about Bell sucking on the right hand side of the line is at least Cam could see the defender coming and make an amazing move to escape.  He won't have that luxury this year.  I just hope we don't have to see Bell standing over Cam looking lost as our franchise lay in a heap on the ground.

    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings. 
    • Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
