Mike Bell Hysteria (1 Viewer)

Why? Do you think this will somehow help your fantasy team, or do you just really like cows?

I guess since I made a dumb comment, I should expect a dumb response to it. Ever heard of metaphors and figure of speech?

I just really can't imagine anyone being too comfortable here... the best situation is to be the T Bell or Cobbs owner since you DIDN'T waste a high pick!
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Even though M Bell could still get the job, I'll bet those who spent a high pick on him are a little nervous right now. Can't say they weren't warned.
JohnnyU

On the flip side of that, I may be right.

So...right now, Tatum is the safest pick of the bunch?

Agreed. I'm targeting Cobbs (doubt I'll get him from waivers), but otherwise have no dog in the race now. I had Mike Anderson last year, and after that I'm almost HOPING to not get Cobbs!! What a crazy backfield - good to know nothing's changed in Denver!!

Of course that doesn't necessarily mean you think Mike Bell will be playing by then either. He could be riding the pine but people will be too afraid to drop him.I voted when the poll first started. Have no idea which way I went. I assume no.

FWIW I think he will be playing regularly then.FWIW I hope Cobbs, not Bell, is playing regularly then.

Oh, I don't know, maybe they will see another reach on the WW and send Mr. M Bell packing.Edited to say, I didn't mean to imply that Denver will see another reach on the WW, when in fact I meant Denver will insert another player that would be on most FF league waiver wires, like Cecil Sapp or Nash, lol.

Is there really such a thing as a "reach" on the WW? I mean, it's not like you have your choice between Tomlinson, Alexander, or Mike Bell here.

In essentially 7 leagues that I'm in with waivers, he's not available (and never has been) in all seven. I would say that this was a very bad prediction.

79% owned in CBS Sportsline leagues. Down from 96% week 1.

The real question is.
Will Tatum Bell keep his starting job , and the answer is no.
Believe me in 2 to 3 weesk Tatum will either get injured or fumble the football too often and get benched .

I give him credit for bumping a thread he is 79% wrong on.

He actually popped up in a league of mine and I grabbed him.
I am amazed that people still go in to every week asking questions like there will suddenly be a development or a change in the situation. Especially considering the situation has stayed the same week after week, for more then a few years now.
What I find more ironic, is that some people actually had a change of heart on Mike Bell during his bye week.

Doubt it. JMHO.Injuries are hard to predict, and it'd take a strong history of fumbling for Tatum to ride the pine- a history that he has not, to this point in his career, demonstrated. People usually don't develop bad habits overnight.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Yep, I'm pretty sure he's not on most league WW, but he may as well be. I was wrong about that, but I wasn't wrong about the Mike Bell hysteria being ridiculous. Lots of folks paid out the whazoo for this guy, and it wasn't justified. He sucked at Arizona and wasn't drafted for a reason.

Then that should have been the thesis of your thread.

I agree with you 100%.

Good call in theory for what it's worth.

I've seen you post this in multiple threasds- and you could not be more wrong about how Shannie handles his RBs and fumbling - they have to have MULTIPLE GAMES of "important" fumbles before he even CONSIDERS benching them.Injuries, I refuse to predict.
You are simply wrong on how Shannie handles his RBs who fumble - Griffin didn't even lose his job until he got hurt.

In a small 10x16 dynasty league I'm cutting him for bye week help but in a larger league I'm definately holding. Dealt him for good value a few weeks ago in another. I will guaruntee that at some point this season he will have value again ... Tatum Bell is not an elite carry the load back. When the weather turns they'll want a between the tackles option.

Yer point?How many times do folks need to be shown that Shannie does NOT pull his RBs just for fumbles - they have to fumble multiple times at important parts of the game.First possession in wet weather? Not gonna impact TB at all.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
I couldn't disagree more, and even if I did agree, Mike Bell isn't that guy who can get it done. If something happen to TB, I can see someone like Cobbs or even Sapp getting a shot. The Mike Bell expierment was short lived. Hell, I don't think it ever got started. Like I said earlier, he went undrafted for a reason. Check out his stats at Arizona while you're at it.Edited to say, in defense of Mike Bell, neither Sapp nor Cobbs were drafted either
Edited again to say Cobbs was drafted in the 4th rd. oops.

That sound you just heard was the slap of Mike Bell's #### hitting the waiver wire floor,

I'm pretty sure Cobbs was selected in the 5th round by the Pats.Anyways, good call, I waived Mike Bell in 2 of the 3 leagues I owned him in just yesterday. As much as it pains me.Edited to say, in defense of Mike Bell, neither Sapp nor Cobbs were drafted either
Johnny probably forgot to account for the Bronco bye week.
