Look, if Reid can get 90 total yards of offense from Bell and 90 totals yard from CEH, this offense will be on pace to match the 2018 offense.
This move isn't about plugging in a former superstar and expecting him to take over the offense. This move is about a complimentary back to CEH and adding a very versatile player to an offense that already features a lot of versatile players.
Now, maybe Bell absolutely blows up, which would be amazing and awesome for sure. But whatever the case may be, he's at least going to be a great 2nd option for Reid at running back, which is really all anyone can ask for at this point in the season, especially a season as weird as 2020.

Okay, 2019 is what I look at as well. The 3.2 average yards per carry concerns me. I realize it's the Jets, but last time he played for the Steelers he hit exactly 4.0 yards per carry in a nearly ideal scenario that seemed made for him. I do like his receiving ability. My go forward is I'm gonna trust Reid/Veach on this. Unlike McCoy, it isn't some long lost past connection. Hopefully they saw what they wanted on tape that is recent enough to convince them he can fit well and help the team improve.
