Week 10 NFL Thread: Oh how Dallas Does Suck

Wow.

 

Averaging 3.3 yards per carry will do it. Wasn't there some concern about Lacy keeping his weight under control before he was drafted?

 

He looked a bit large this season.

 

According to the story, he weighed in at 234 pounds for this season, but I'm not sure what his playing weight was the last two years.

He fell in the draft for a reason. Of course, part of that was one team expected to take a back early, the Steelers, simply liked Le'Veon Bell better. Even with the injury this year, have to give them credit for getting that one right.

I know, it's another Steelersjack, but at least I'm going out of my way to admit I was wrong. I didn't like the Bell pick at the time. Whoops.

I wonder if that was luck or if the Steelers really did see something in Bell's personality. Because really, that is the difference between the two. Bell remade his body as a pro, dropping over 20 pounds and becoming a much more elusive and explosive runner. Lacy has clearly gone the other direction.

 

Bell is committed to being a pro, like Brown.

Bell could always catch a football. He has amazing hands and body control when the ball is coming.

He's the most talented back I've ever seen with the Steelers. It's not even close.

 

Earlier this season, I was wondering why Lacy had been so bad for my fantasy team. I hadn't seen any Packers games to that point. When I finally saw a game, my first thought was, "Wow, he looks fat. No wonder he's been so bad."

 

You were stupid. Bell was far and away the better pick.

The only people who disagreed were caretakers of the narrative and other morons who were caught up in Bell's low TD numbers his final season.

When the Steelers made that pick, I told a Steelers fan his team did the right thing.

 

He could be the spark that ignites that defense. He might have a hand in improving their performance.

 

Yep. I caught him on the sidelines during the Chargers game and thought the same thing.

 

At least we know he won't be pointing fingers if things go wrong.

 

Speaking of Bell, it was great to see his fellow MSUer Langford have a great game Monday. He has another performance like that this week, and Forte can put his house up for sale.

 

Except for that bit about smoking marijuana and driving while under the influence.

Don't get me wrong. Bell is great and as frustrated as I was by his injury as a Steelers fan, I felt worse for him because injuries are cutting so deeply into what could be a great career. He has certainly showed the work ethic to get the most out of his considerable talent, but there was some seriously questionable judgement along the way.
