You get the feeling the Bell ouster could really backfire on Gase in a few ways.
It will be interesting to see how the team responds Sunday against the Miami Dolphins (4:05 p.m. ET, CBS). The locker room was stung by the Bell news. If the team goes out and stinks it up against a mediocre opponent, it's fair to wonder if Jets CEO Christopher Johnson will say enough is enough.
If Bell enjoys immediate success with the Chiefs, it will be another dent on Gase's reputation -- perhaps the final one. Jets ownership won't be keen on watching Bell play well for another team after struggling in Gase's system, although let's be fair: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes can make anyone look good.
I'm curious to see how Gase divides the workload between Frank Gore, 37, and rookie La'Mical Perine. A week ago, he said he didn't want to overload Perine. Now he's saying Perine will have a bigger role. He should, but we all know Gase's affinity for Gore. If Sunday becomes the Gore Show ... like, what's the point?
