Mahomes as Thanos

TWO THUMBS DOWN on this signing. :mad::#:cuss::banghead:

Think Dan's on to something here. If Andy/EB pigeon-hole Bell into the offense as just a RB, doing standard RB things, then his contribution will be fairly limited.

But I doubt Andy will just play him as only a RB. He's going to scheme up some things to take advantage of Bell's abilities and talents. It's not even that big a stretch for Andy; have we not seen Hill/Kelce/Watkins/Hardman lined up in the slot or the backfield? Haven't we already seen our RBs lined up wide?

Andy will try to squeeze every last bit of 'juice' out of this addition by lining him up everywhere, having him run and catch, etc. Especially because our OL is having issues.

You are the worst. Seriously.

3.3 yards per carry! Yee Nah!

Is he still good?

You can only hope he can do his job and not let his mouth do the work. Steelers and Jets say he was a cancer to the locker room and not a team player. Chiefs be warned!

3.9 yards per carry in 2020.

As opposed to Frank Gore's whopping 3.2 yards per carry.

What is so great about this? He hasn't done squat in three years. I hope LB proves me wrong but I don't see any reason to be/get excited about this signing.

Fun fact.

Damien Williams and Le'Veon Bell are the same age.

Carry on with your day.

Frank Gore is a class act.

What's so bad about it?

Notice I was criticizing you for being a miserable cuss and not getting excited about signing Leveon Bell.

And a shitty RB by your standards.

Holy shit, we actually got him. I've been kind of hiding from the board today since the speculation was driving me crazy.

Anyway....

That is a fun fact. Joy joy and happy feelings to you.

so when will he make his debut?

You can have my thumbs down.

10 thumbs down and counting on this post!

Probably against Denver on October 25th.

You didn't actually watch the video, did you?

of course that was from last season.

I watched most of the Jets/Cards game last week, and he still looks pretty much like that video. And that's playing behind one of the worst OLs and maybe the worst HC/OC in the league. If he can be 80% of that, playing for Andy he's going to give us some quality consistent play. He'll be better here than he ever was as a Jet, and he was pretty good in 2019.

Yes he is, but if you can get a 28 year old offensive weapon like Bell without trading anything and for likely the veteran’s minimum it is a no brainer (except to you apparently).

Yeah baby!!!!

Let’s goooo

Any word on the contract stuff??

Will we score more than 70 against Gase & the Jets in a few weeks? That is the question.

Either peanuts or a little more peanuts.

No1curr

I made it 12.

That bitch.

Could we win without playing a single starter? By 10+?

just found this..

@adamteicher
FYI, Bell can't according to NFL protocols enter their facility or start to practice until he tests negative for 5 straight days and then tests negative on the 6th day with a point of contact test. So he won't practice for about a week at best.

so Im thinking his debut will be...wait for it...NOV against the NY JETS!!!!

Rude bitches get thumbs downed.

weird.

I don't see how he fits at all. He's a patient, wait, wait, wait behind a huge mauling line type of back.

I don't see him being successful behind a line that opens no holes.

Shrug. Alright. We'll see.

Shit. So his first game is the Jets? How pefect.

Wrong you stupid ass mother ****er

You know how he fits?

https://external-content.duckduckgo....300&f=1&nofb=1

Fifteen now.

I care if it’s more than 1 year and thus a big cap number next year

Exactly. There's absolutely no risk, what's the issue?

Sure. But I mean, that's not a problem as it is for us.

But alright. I'm not going to second guess Andy and Veach.

Me neither. This is a weird signing. I mean, didn't the Chiefs just spend a first round pick on an RB?</br></br>Also, weren't we just wondering how to sign Chris Jones on top or PM2 contract?

It won't be. Stop worrying about it.

The dude is getting paid by the Jets. Everything else is gravy.

Tom peliserro says he will play vs the Donks

Sammy Watkins just tweaked a hamstring. Knowing Sammy, that's 4-6 weeks in the tub.

So yeah, right now it is a problem.

Bell is playing against Denver.
Won't be up to speed on the offense necessarily, but he's playing vs the Donks.

Really? Please list the LBs the Chiefs will have to face from week 8 forward that can cover that guy.

It's probably a one year rental that's dirt cheap and helps with very thin depth at running back. Again even if he's 70-80 percent to what he was pre-Jets there's no downside here

well, I mean, he's a talent.

As a runner, I think he's a poor fit. I actually was concerned he might go to like the Raiders or the Titans or something. He fits that big, straight ahead line kind of thing.

as a receiver, yeah, he's a good receiving back, and I'm sure Andy can find ways to use him.

He was inexpensive to grab, and it keeps him away from teams that could use him to hurt us.

Anyone that thinks he's going to solve our problems running the ball is going to be disappointed I think.

Takes a lot of pressure and some workload off the rookie. Plus third and short. Patrick and HB can deal with any locker room stuff. Nice Bart!

Apparently Andy (or EB) thinks SS14 will be out about 2-3 weeks. Or less, which is why he's not on IR.

Or, that's the blurb said.

It's been widely reported that it's a one year. So he's a FA again after this season.

It's not like he's going to play WR.

Clyde is an excellent receiver. Williams doesn't have the same route tree, but has proven to be a good receiving back. I mean, maybe Bell is a better receiver, but how much efficiency difference are we talking?

I ain't mad about it. He was released, so he isn't costing us. Nabbing him keeps him away from rivals that could use him to hurt us in January- so it's all good.

I don't think anybody here thinks he's going to solve our problems running the ball.

But there's no downside. At best, he's another weapon and makes the offense harder to stop.

At worst, they cut him and they're out nothing.

I bet we see him and CEH on the field at the same time, with both of them lined up at WR at least a few times.

I don’t know that anyone thinks he’s fixing everything, but I think he helps.

For one, depth. If Clyde pulls a hammy tomorrow, we had nothing behind him at all that could threaten a defense or even be trusted to make plays. Now they’ve got that piece.

Currently, defenses are throwing these 8 man zone coverages at us and he can really help in that area as a short passing option who is very hard to tackle in space.

The man can block, run and catch but he doesn't fit?

I assume he tested today, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. Practice on Wednesday. He’ll see some action vs the Donks.

I rather have a 70-80% Bell over a 100% Williams or Thompson one way another.

Clyde can't play every down, and he's going to need a breather here and there.

I would also say that Bell does make a good slot receiver if needed. I would also argue that Bell is a good insurance policy, should (god forbid) something happen to Clyde.

If Bell decides to go all Terrell Owens and being a attention whore/prima donna, then the Chiefs can just cut him with minimal cap charge.

This is a very low risk, high reward type of move.

How many LB'ers can cover Clyde?

I mean Bell's a good receiving back, but is he really BETTER at that than Clyde?

It's cool, I ain't mad about it, because we didn't have to pay and arm and a leg for him. And it keeps him away from teams that could use him to hurt us in January.

I just think he's kind of an odd fit. Bad fit as a runner stylistically, but good receiving back, which Andy can always use. It's cool, I just think it's kind of weird.

But I ain't mad about it. I'm not picking this hill to die on.

I sure would feel better if we had signed a starting quality OG or TWO.

Chiefs running backs NOT name Clyde Ewards-Helaire

Darryl Williams
Darwin Thomspson
Deandre Washington

While 'solving' positional weakness is nearly impossible in-season, you don't think he HELPS our problems at running back?:hmmm:

I won't argue with any of that.

I’d rather trot Bell out there on third down than Williams. Win win

Where exactly are the starting guards we can sign? I wish we could do that as well.

F'ing bingo.

You can only sign people that are available. Are you aware of any former Pro Bowl offensive guards that were not only cut by their team but still being paid by said team?

Championship teams make moves of opportunity. You don't pass up talent just because you may have bigger needs elsewhere.

There aren't any available. Offensive Linemen are a premium right now because of multiple factors involving the opt-outs and the covid-19 situation.

If the Chiefs want to get a guard or a center, likely they'll need to poach off from some other teams practice squad, but that's unlikely, because those guys on the other team's practice squad aren't any good or just too raw.

Yep.

Listen I'm not bitching about the signing.

I think he's a weird fit as a runner. Good receiving back, so that's cool. He was inexpensive, so no big deal. Plus, it keeps him away from other contenders, like Pittsburgh, or Tennessee, or Vegas, or Baltimore.

So it's all good. No worries. It's not a situation where we got Bell so now we can't sign an Offensive lineman.

No big deal. I'm surprised, but I ain't mad about it.

Andy will have him line up in the slot or wide plenty. Hell, he might have him line up as the TE2 sometimes. Sure as shit he's a better receiver than any TE2 we've been trotting out there this season so far.

He might not significantly improve the stats so far as the running game is concerned, but that's more about the state of our OL than any issues Bell might have. But he's going to be a big problem for opposing defenses in the passing game. I doubt there's a LB that can cover him.

Osemele may not be done this year......

Cover him with a DB and see what happens. ;)

Lol wut?

Where does is say that at?

The line wasn’t full of world beaters last year. They’ll be fine if they aren’t ravaged by injuries.

Just need to get that short passing game rolling to take some of the pressure off.

I bet Andy and Eric have already drawn up 20 insane plays for Bell

I would be shocked. But I would go to church twice a week, heck, twice on Sunday, if he came back before the end of the season.

there will be some crazy wr/rb/te configurations

Felt the exact same way at first blush

But the more one thinks on it, the more fun it sounds... it's making me wanna slap some Madden in the PS4

It might go south quick, it also might be what ensures consecutive Lombardi's

Someone tried that in that highlight video. Bell pulled a Henry on him and just threw him to the ground.

yeah man.

I mean, he's a talent, he was cheap, we kept him away from other teams that could hurt us, it's a win-win.

He's better than anyone we have not named Clyde, who's a rookie. So yeah, it's all good.

I'm sure Andy will find a way to use him.

Now let's turn over every rock for O-line help.

I'm down.

We got 2000+ posts for Bell and look what happened.
