Which should be plenty. When Bell was being courted by 3+ teams I got the impression it would cost us a lot more than it did. This deal is an absolute no brainer. And now that he's here, I'm just going to assume he'll return to 2016 form under Reid and we'll have 2 do-it-all superbacks carrying us to victory. [Reply]

I think you're right, and I hope you're right for Mahomes sake. After last week, he could use a game where the running game is clicking and he doesn't have to run for his life on 55 pass attempts. As much as I love our high falutin, grandiose, greatest show on turf air assault, I'd love to see us play some smash mouth ball and pound the rock to victory. [Reply]

Where Bell is going to be handy in the passing game.
Yep. His pass blocking will be as important as his pass catching, although I am looking forward to seeing him on the field at the same time as CEH. [Reply]
