OP's post is dumb, but this response would make a lot more sense if there wasn't a pair of super talented juniors getting far fewer targets. I don't think anyone (or at least any notable percentage) is blaming Bell himself. 

You have to admit it's frustrating to see Patterson miss the other guys running wide open and then throwing contested fades to Bell on the same drive. Again, this is in no way Bell's fault.

He’s not that good. Only leads the team bc DPJ and Collins are hated by the coaching staff and Shea. 
 

If the dumbass didn’t email him that hate mail then Bell would get rightfully criticized. Instead he gets a pass since people feel bad for him for said incident.

how about Patterson target some of our receivers who are over 6 ft!!!!

his eyes are stuck on bell and have been all year.  the difference today is he is throwing hard fast balls when he shouldn't and visa versa

Well, on the last drive of the first half, Shea handed off instead of pulling it back. DPJ had his man beat by 2 steps.

 

Though based on the way things are going today, Patterson would have thrown the ball through the uprights.

Bell is a 2nd stringer who has started games because of injury, and now because of transfer. He plays like a 2nd stringer. I'm not expecting more out of him.

 

Why Nico Collins and DPJ arent targeted on a regular basis is what is wrong, and has been wrong all year.

I love the man's work ethic, but he is just not a good receiver.  He has small hands and drops many passes.  He would never see the field for Bama or OSU.  That's why we lose.  That being said I wish the best for Ronnie.
