Broncos Name OTHER Bell Starting RB

12
Vote

The Denver Broncos will go with rookie running back Mike Bell as their starting runningback.

Not to be confused with fellow Broncos RB Tatum Bell, Mike Bell came to Denver an undrafted rookie. Bell was told to see Mike Shanahan in his office for a meeting.

"I was shaking," Bell said. Well, according to Ron Dayne, Bell had no reason to be nervous, as he has received praise from both coaches and players.

After being asked if he expected this, he just shook his head and smiled.

"Never, never, never," Bell said.

Bell's senior year statistics can be found here.

Me too...I thought Tatum Bell was starting to look like the future of the Broncos in flashes last season.

There's no way Shanny thinks Tatum Bell is any good. He hasn't had a chance for a reason, and whatever it is, he's a dud in Denver (but could be good elsewhere).

I wouldn't call him a dud. He rushed for 921 yards last year off the bench.

Ouch, talk about a kick in the groin. How's that feel Tatum?

As Gators pointed out, it really doesn't matter WHO is the starting RB in Denver. If they have two semi-equal backs, they'll always go with the younger (aka cheaper) option and move the other somewhere else where he'll do worse in a less-effective system.

The problem with Tatum is that he's not a true starting back because he can't carry the rock 20 times a game and get consistent gains on every run. He's better suited to be a change of pace back behind someone who is a true number 1. You still have to question the decision to go with a totally unproven guy. I don't think it'll last long.
