Byron Bell

It seems like they want him to earn the RT job for the long-term. He's played pretty well for an UDFA, but also has had some penalties and given up a couple sacks.

Can he be our long-term starter at RT or do we need to address the position in the offseason?

There Was One Play In Yesterdays Carolina Vs Washington The Guy didnt even block the DE N Cam Got Sack Easy ..Hes decent tho

Happened with Gross as well. I think he's doing pretty alright. If he doesn't work put we alway have Lee Ziemba to check out.

I'm still waiting to see what the team see's in bell.

He is alright, but he hasn't impressed me.

Maybe he'll get better.

He did great against mathews and GB earlier in the year, but his play has dropped off since then. He is playing like a rookie, showing flashes of greatness and then showing everyone that he is still a rookie. for an UDFA though, I am impressed. if he keeps working, he could be damn good.

Bell is taking his lumps early. Sometimes he's impressive, other times not so much. The staff clearly wants him to be one of our long-term building blocks that we can use to form a championship team. I think he'll really have to under-perform the rest of this year for them to consider drafting his position high, especially with all the help we need elsewhere.

    • So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.
    • I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.
    • Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
