AFAIC, the team totally did the right thing by letting him do his thing and knowing that Conner would be able to perform. RB's just don't have that 'must have' quality anymore. The good talent coming out of college just plugs into the modern game too well.

Conner has essentially proven that it was the OL more than it was Bell. It's easy to do what Bell did with the Steelers OL. Add a pair of decent hands to that and Conner was bound to produce like this.
I think not only did Bell hurt himself, he also hurt the RB market as a whole. The rest of the RB's in the league who haven't gotten their next big deal yet should be pissed.
