Bell will be a starter this year.  He wouldn't be the only player that took a few years to learn enough to start in this league.  I actually would like to see if he is naturally better on the left side versus the right.  He could start at right tackle but backup the left tackle if needed or the other way around.

Awesome News! We can now say that the LT issue has been fixed, because Bell was fantastic at RT last year and would only be better at LT because he's left handed. 

Around here if you don't indicate you are being sarcastic it will invoke 10 posts taking you to task...

 

Just sayin.............

The problem with Bell is that he doesn't seem to be a bit better now than he was as an undrafted rookie free agent.  We all loved him then because he filled in more than adequately considering he was a undrafted rookie free agent.  The problem is that it's now several years later and this guy is still currently penciled in as a starter on our OL.  That sucks.

And he will be the starter until we find someone better.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
