There are a few that are too smart for him to be effective, but there's also a number of them that ain't too bright.
I also disagree with you're comparison of Bell to Stills.
Bell has talent.
Stills is a scrub that has no business on the field with the defense, ever.
But if you ask me where do I think Bell would be the most effective and have the most impact, and where do I want to see him line up at, it's MLB, hands down.

My comparison of Bell to Stills was meant in terms of how they are used, not ability or what they will acomplish.
And we'll just have to disagree on the QB issue. IMO, it's not just the QB, but also the design of offenses that has caused a drop in 4-3 OLBs effectively rushing the passer. There's no denying that 4-3 OLBs don't get to the QB as often as they used to. Sure on occasion it will still work. I'm just looking at it as an overall trend over the last 5+ years. Offenses have changed, and thus the way defenses get to the QB have too.
