Byron Bell is not as good as Otah at all.

Rivera may need to hold back on some comments.

Byron is not in the same catagory as Otah. He made Ray "sorry ass" Edwards look like JP.

Otah Please stop being a injury wating to happen. Do you know how much we need you.

[Tarheels23]

Yes I agree! Rivera don't need to pull that one again.

[Jrock88]

I'm not sure who thinks Bell is better than Otah. The problem is Otah is in and out of our lineup more than the one at McDonald's.

He might as well change his first name to fugin, because every time I saw him today I yelled "fugin Bell." He was fuging dreadful today.

OL def comes to mind in the first round.

[jtnc]

I agree.

[Clicheking]

I said the same thing earlier in the week. If you think Bell is in the same category you need to watch more game film. Bell will get better with experience but he's not in Otah's class right now.

We don't need to take an OL in the 1st unless we're on the clock and Matt Kalil is sitting there. We can find a solid RT in free agency who can back up Otah and start if need be. Then re-address the issue based on Otah's health once his contract is up after next season.

We have FAR bigger issues than OL to use a high 1st round pick on a RT.

Come on, Rivera knew exactly what he was getting with Byron Bell, but he's not going to come out and be like "Goddamn that guy is poo, just wait until he gets 5 false starts in one game, oh god we're screwed!"

Where was this when he handled Clay Mathews? Bell had one off game, ya'll act like he's been the starter since the beginning and you're calling for Otah now..Come on...

Exactly what I was typing until I noticed your comment. Just a few days ago it was oh man it's great that Bryon Bell is going to turn into a solid player, today it's oh man this undrafted free agent isn't as good as a first round player. After a good game he's going to be our RT of the future and after a bad game he sucks big time.

Cant make the club, sitting in the tub. Otah is a big round crystal ball. FRAGILE.

[NJ.Vision]

I wonder if Otah felt under appreciated when Rivera made that comment and decided not to play lol

More like he had one solid game and today was his true form. Also, if you haven't noticed, Clay Matthews hasn't exactly been tearing it up this season.

Bell was below average in preseason, simply didn't suck against the Packers, and then was manhandled against Atlanta. Is this really the guy you want as our long-term starter at RT? Do you want Cam to get killed or something?

Bell might be good as a backup and solid for an UDFA, but to think he's suddenly going to come in and develop into a starting-caliber RT simply isn't realistic. He's had two starts: one average and one awful. Could he eventually develop into a starter? Sure. But it's not something we can count on happening, IMO.
