Sorry, my mistake.  I thought that I had read something about extending that to ball carriers.

Real relevant. 

steeler fans are just obsessed with the Bengals.   They deny it, of course.  But the evidence is overwhelming.  Look how many of their answers include Bengals, even if the topic does not.  But, to be fair, what else could one expect from their low intelligence fan base?  Also, it helps in their denial of how their organization is wasting their star's careers by not being quite as good as they should be and takes their minds off how loudly the clock is now ticking.

I'm sure they'll easily beat the Browns today. That much is a given. After that, we'll just have to wait and see. But they seems as intent on self destructing as they are chasing another championship.

Bell who? Conner ripping it up through 3 quarters. 124 yards on 14 touches with 2 TDS. 11/90 on the ground. Bye bye asshole

Refs need a effing physics lesson. That "no touch" punt is one of the worst calls I've seen in the history of the NFL. Typical Tomlin slop fest against a vastly inferior team though.

I was half expecting Chubb to go into concussion protocol after having the punt bounce off his head like that.

At least Damarious Randell recovered from the cramp he developed immediately after he realized he called a timeout with none left. Those things sneak up on you at the craziest of times. 

The Tyrod Taylor era in Cleveland might already be over. Mayfield would have won that game.

Any QB with average ability would win that game for Cleveland.

Taylor was 0 for his last 9 before hitting the TD pass (great catch btw).

19 for 40? Awful.  And he didn't run all that well either...just often.

What guaranteed money did they offer? The tag gave him 14million guaranteed. The Rams paid Gurley and he is not worth what Bell is. The problem is the FO has to keep their payroll manageable. The injuries and suspensions also had allot to do with his situation. Make no mistake he WILL get paid.

$33 million

You can't include the 14mil on the tag. BTW Gurley got 45 mil. guaranteed. I don't think anyone doesn't see the Steelers position with all of their high paying contracts but Bell is worth more than Gurley and he knows it.

What?  They guaranteed $33 million. Gurley had a better year.

I don't get the love for him that some people have.  Yeah, he doesn't turn the ball over but he doesn't make enough throws.  Hell, a decent QB would have beaten the Jags in the playoffs last year in a game that was there for the taking.

So just why are all you Steelers fans crying so loud? Every tread on every site is Steeler fans whining. It's like if I couldn't afford a new Corvette and took my frustration out on General motors. Get over it he is over you.

He's not a steelers fan...

I guess I should have said closet fan. Why would any Bengals fan care if the Steelers over paid for a player? I personally hope they give all their cap money to a handful of players so they can't pay the rest of their team . Subtraction by addition.

A) wth kind of analogy is that?

B) People forget that Gurley was signed after Bell failed to reach a deal and had to play under the Tag, so when the Steelers offered Bell $33M guaranteed, it was easily the highest guaranteed money to a running back.

C) Bell is better than Gurley. But.....Gurley is younger, a better team player and character guy, and not one hit from a bong away from a 1 year suspension.

D) Is it Bell or is it his line?

Just because a Bengal fan is knowledgeable enough, and comfortable with himself enough to have a rational conversation with a fan of a rival club, does not automatically make said fan a "closet fan" of the other team.
