WayneChrebet80 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 It won’t happen now that the Jets have Bell, but the Jets should seriously consider bringing him back to have as a cheap insurance policy. It’s knd of sad Powell wasted his career on the 2011-2018 Jets. Think how many players, GMs, and coaches he’s played with/for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixhead Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 If he comes back healthy heck yes! Powell offers a different running style than Bell. Powell hits the hole real quick. Bell takes his time. I think those opposite running styles would compliment each other. Just when the opposing defense gets comfortable trying to stop Bell we throw Powell in for a series. If he's healthy Resign the Beast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he runs I can see him hurting his neck. Its a shame - was always waiting for that 1 big year from Powell like 1200 rushing yards and 60 catches but it never came.

Powell was a victim of the current nfl mentality that you need to always have a committee backfield Committees make sense when you have Peyton or Tom Brady running the offense but most other QBs your better off using a three down back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 He was a great Jet who went a little underutilized and will remain under appreciated in my opinion. We're lucky to have had him and it's unfortunate that most of his years spanned a pretty low period for Jets football. But we're moving on, we're looking forward, and he's part of the past. He'll be 31 yrs old in October, and he's replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Some really eye-opening statistics for Bilal by the way... Aside from a rookie season where he only made two game appearances, he never averaged less than 4.0 yards per carry and often was in the 4.3 to 4.5 range. His career high in rush attempts was only 178 in 2017. He caught 58 passes in 2016. Over an 8 year career his total rushing yards are only 3,446. He was the classic change-of-pace / spell the starter type of running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtMart Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 He was a good backup RB. Never was capable of carrying the load buta team player and a top backup/change of pace RB. He’s an OK insurance policy. Coincidentally, ever since he arrived, we’ve sucked and haven’t made the playoffs, not that it was his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I was a Bilal Powell fan before it was cool, but now the guy is 30 years old and coming off a serious injury. Probably not worth more than a league minimum deal to anyone at this point. Guy's made $16M in his career. Not bad for a RB drafted in the fourth round. He should probably hang 'em up at this stage of the game. RB is a young man's position, and if I was looking for a compliment to this group it would be a power runner who could handle the short-yardage pounding and shield Bell from that punishment. Powell certainly isn't that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was smart with his money, the guy should be set for life. Neck injuries are no joke, plus hes 30 years old. Probably time for him to hang it up.

T0mShane Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Powell has put together a nice, tidy career for a backup RB who was never asked to carry the load. He’s made a lot of money, avoided any expectation, and gets to ride off into the sunset with New York sports fans thinking he was a better player than he was. He’s like the Derek Jeter of running backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid is a good player if he can avoid the concussions I blame Todd Bowles for putting him on the kickoff team and our medical staff for bringing him back way too soon last season. Im hoping he is able to contribute to success here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJetsDaddy Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Solid Jets player and was widely underrated, but that ship has sailed. Bell, McGuire, Cannon and potentially vet/rookie additions is plenty good. No need or role for Powell anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is the whole jersey number in Monuments park thing. But other than that pretty identical I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how bad his concussion was. It's not about him the player. It's about his long term health. It's just an issue with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts all concussions happened during the regular season. Im hoping he can rebound and contribute, I've seen what he can do with the ball in his hands.
