Just out of curiosity but wasn't Bell voted as the worst starting tackle in the NFL or something a two years ago?
No, when Bell's healthy he's great. I follow the Bills almost as religiously as I do Redskins. He's a competent left tackle, has athleticism to play right.... But he's ALWAYS injured, so high risk.

I'm pretty sure 2 or 3 years ago it was him that was considered the worst starting tackle in the nfl by someone (fox, cbs, espn, etc.) I'm pretty positive that Jamarcus webb got that title 2 years ago also ; hopefully I'm not mixing up the two of them.

Didn't know there were credible "worst" of anything awards in the NFLThere are many different metrics that can be used to give credence to labeling a player as 'best' or 'worst' or any where in between at their respective position.
Any of which are much more credible then saying you remember someone unknown or unnamed saying that player X was the worst.

2) Demetrius Bell, Buffalo Bills
Age as of 1st September, 2012: 28
2011 Grade: +6.8
Key Stat: Allowed pressure only once every 28 pass plays in 2011, up from 13.6 in 2010.
Behind the Number: Playing under a restricted free agent tag in 2011, Bell looked to be putting together the classic “contract season” performance until it was curtailed by injury. To his credit, Bell didn’t slip into poor performances of the past in a three-game stint at the end of the season, but is 401 snaps of true quality enough for a team to invest in him long term? Bell was Jason Peters’ replacement after he bolted for Philadelphia, but he was slow to repay the Bills’ faith in him. He has taken large strides since his first season as a starter in 2009 drastically reducing his pressures allowed and penalties conceded through 2010 and 2011. Another big stride in 2012 would see Bell join the league’s Top 10 left tackles. If multiple teams see that as a real possibility Bell’s market value could rise when free agency opens.

Oh agreed. I was responded to whoever said that Bell was voted as the worst tackle...or something like that.
