..................att  / yds....................avg.............rec. /. yds......avg..................TD's

Bell ...........321 / 1,291 yds..........4.0...............85 / 655..........7.7...................11
Gurley........279 / 1,305 yds..........4.7..............64 / 788............12.3................19

Gurley got more yds with less touches in rushing and receiving and 8 more TD's last season.

Gurley is also is 2 years younger at 24 with less mileage on his legs. Plus comes with much less baggage.

I'm guessing that from Bell's point of view, he's worth it because he can handle 400+ touches/season.  That certainly is impressive, but how long can he keep doing that?  So far, father time is undefeated, and statistics show that guys with the types of injuries that he's sustained, have shorter peak playing careers.
