  LeVeon Bell is the perfect example of &quot;the grass isnt always greener on the other side&quot;. He had the ideal setup in Pittsburgh: a player-first coach, an adoring fanbase that worshiped the ground he walked on, and an o-line that had more pro bowlers than Bell had healthy seasons. He was offered 14M/yr which is an insane contract even today, and he was on a roster that was competing for super bowls for the entirety of that contract.<br><br>He had EVERYTHING he could have asked for......but he thought he could get it all and more somewhere or somehow else. And we all saw what happened as a result

  Bell in Pittsburgh ran behind a monster offensive line. Not to say he wasn&apos;t a great runner, but he was a great runner in a great situation.

  When i think of players who “played themselves” i always think of Bell and Antonio Brown.

  Bell had an ideal situation in Pittsburgh. A HOF QB, arguably the best WR in the game, and a great O line. The offense was so loaded that teams couldn&apos;t just isolate one area of the game. Any decent RB was going to thrive in Pittsburgh at that time, case in point James Connor. Also, I&apos;m not buying for a second that Leveon intended to only sit out 1 game but changed his mind due to comments from teammates. That doesnt even make any sense.

  Simple answer: He left Pittsburgh. This is coming from a Browns fan. Bell and Brown went from top-tier to jokes the second they left. I HATE Pittsburgh, but I respect them 100%. They&apos;re a threat every freaking year.

  Finally everyone sees that it isn&apos;t the running backs or even the qbs that make them as good as they are. &nbsp;It&apos;s the O-line &amp; the coaching/ play design. &nbsp;Football is the true team sport.

  I think Bell realized the physical toll playing was putting on his body and knew he didn&apos;t have much left. He wanted a big pay day. &nbsp;The RB position falls apart really quick and the athlete knows the end is near way ahead of the team and fans.

  It&apos;s (mostly) self inflicted. He left a really good franchise in Pittsburgh to chase the bag. of course i understand why but unfortunately when you go from the Steelers to the jets you can expect a fall off

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaFFaflYGFA&amp;t=598">9:58</a> that Shazier injury is still heartbreaking. That guy was such a talent that was gonna do big things in the league.
