Why does everyone hate Mike Bell?

OK, so he fell down during a key play in the SB. And other than that he didn't play much in the big game. But why is everyone assuming he should go? Did I miss something? He was asked to be a role player (grind it out in the 4th quarter to protect a lead, run a few short yardage plays) and he did his job. I don't know what kind of contract he got, but he's got to be pretty cheap.

I'm not saying there couldn't be an upgrade, but jeez. For a 3rd string/situational RB, you're not going to get Earl Campbell.
