Le'Veon Bell always has something interesting to say. In a recent radio interview with Hot 97 in New York, the running back addressed Darnold, the challenge of Gase's offense and how he expects the third-year quarterback to improve in 2020.
"This offense isn't easy to learn," Bell said. "I've been playing football for a long time. This is one of the hardest offenses I've ever had to play in, so for a quarterback to learn it straight out of his rookie year ... it was going to be tough. But I think coming into the second year in this offense, it's going to be even better for him because he'll have a better understanding, and he can be more comfortable.
"He'll know where to go with the ball quicker. He'll know where his checkdown is. He'll be more comfortable with everything -- the plays and the audibling and the hot routes and maybe calling screens, whatever. So I think this second year will be a lot better for him."
They'd better hope Bell is right.
