My favorite teams
I will never understand why CCS bears fans literally hate Josh Bellamy when he is one of the most elite ST player on the roster and being paid literally Peanuts for his role as an elite special teams "ace"

I mean, are you ****ing kidding me? I see literally 10s of 100s of posters talking "mad ****" about Josh but he's just doing his job and doing it at an elite level while also being asked to come in and play WR as well, in addition to his role as a special teams ace, and not even being compensated for his WR duties at all? I mean, you can NOT be serious. I see people post about how Josh must be literally "black-mailing" the bears front office to keep his job but it's like these guys don't even watch what happens in the 3rd phase of the game when Josh is out there making huge plays every single time he's out there on ST.
Sure, I can understand why people can be upset with drops but why would they have such a double-standardization with say someone like, Kevin White? Kevin White is a 1st round draft pick at WR and Josh Bellamy is a prototypical number 7-type WR but has been paid far less than White and produced infinitely more at the position.
I'm excited for what Nagy can do with Bellamy at WR and think that Josh can be an elite decoy in this offense as he's likely the best route-runner currently on the roster, just don't ask him to catch the ball like a true-number-one or two, or three, or four five or six because it's not what he is, and he's certainly not charging us for that level of production.
Thanks.
