don't like adding to proliferating Bell threads, but this is a specific question that could get buried in larger thread, & answers could have a kind of self-contained usefulness...
quentin griffin failed few years ago, but he was tiny... as far as i know, bell isn't tiny... a way to attack problem from different direction (of whether he has legit chance to maintain his status as #1 RB or is a red herring) is to ask homers how his speed compares to other improbable, previously non-descript RBs skeletor plucked off the scrap heap and turned into successful runners in the DEN scheme... guys like terrell davis, olandis gary, mike anderson and reuben droughns?

I have all three of those on my roster!It's a 
)How about lookie, lookie here comes Cookie (Gilchrist)?...Otis Armstrong? Okay, I digress...Bell is obviously no Portis, and he's no Terrell Davis. Bell lacks the speed, power and ability to get small ala Portis, he lacks the smoothe fluidity (like that word) and ability to follow blockers ala TD, although that ability could always come in due time. After watching his first series, he appears fairly quick to the hole and somewhat fearless...has a decent lean...doesn't appear to have the ability to move piles (and I'm not talking about protruding rhoids)...let's just call him Quentin Griffin with some size at this point and time. So far, I am not impressed, neither am I disappointed, in snagging him early in the cheap leagues. Let's wait and see...
