Re: Why does everyone hate Mike Bell?
 

I'd have to see a breakdown of plays Bell was in for in 2009 to see if his presence was a predisposition to run and if a "checkout" to pass was called, what his responsibilities were and how he executed. He played so sporadically, it is tough to remember and it would be cretinous to cast aspersions on his performance without the data at hand.

His rushing tapered off becuase of injuries. Mike Bell is one of the reasons we got to the SB.....

Just see Hamiltion being the same type of back for a better price tag.

Re: Why does everyone hate Mike Bell?
 

Mike Bell is a decent back. But I really think we have alot of offensive firepower already. And he maybe looking for more money. So I think we let him go. Hamilton can do just as well as Bell for less money. Bottom line is that Payton's schemes and Brees' brilliance are making these guys look really good. So now they want money..Im not convinced Bell will be as successful for another team.

Re: Why does everyone hate Mike Bell?
 

Depending on how much money he wants I'd like to have him back.........I'm still not sold on Hamilton. Not enough data on him.

I thought he got a raw deal towards the end of the season, but obviously Sean Payton knows what hes doing, hard to argue with results like that. I like mike Bell though, I hope we keep him
