Like one of the comments said at the bottom, if they bench him for fumbling, what does he think they will do for this?

I don't think this makes BW look bad
I miss the days when players stayed with one team for their whole careers. But those days are long gone and Wells is just stating reality. And towards the end of the article Wells admits he hasn't lived up to expectations.
So I understand this, he was
So I understand this, he was benched for making a game changing mistake? In his obvious wisom he felt it was going to help him get more playing time by being a "team player". In his mind it was because he fumbled, but attitudes like his have a way of being twice as bad when the camera's off. Im sure it had more to do with attitude than the fumble.
He felt good
About himself because the previous week he scored 3 touchdowns. Of course he was reminded later that that team was the Lions.
Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!
Fuck Beanie Wells.
And Happy Holidays!

Detroit: always the punch lion (see what I did there)
"Wells missed seven games with knee and toe injuries this season but scored three touchdowns against Detroit in Week 15."
Ironically enough the Lions
Ironically enough the Lions are one of the teams that should be looking at Wells next year if and when he's cut. He'll come pretty cheap and if there's one thing the Lions desparately need it's some semblance of a running game.
Let me get this right
what you're saying is the Lions need another oft injured, underachieving running back?
Well he would fit right in
Well he would fit right in now wouldnt he? MIght as well add in "from Ohio State" too!
Oh how I hate them....
Thank you Detroit Lions. Been ruining my Sundays since 1989.
Beanie Wells is a walking
Beanie Wells is a walking injury...always has been.
Let me get this straight: An
Let me get this straight: An NFL player has a rough game, probably won't play for the same team, and maybe wishes he hadn't been benched. He realizes he's auditioning for a new team next year.
Why don't we have 400 of these stories posted here?
Oh, I get it. Because it's really important when the player used to play for our archrival.

I hate this dude. Strikes me as a guy who feels entitled because of his talent, but maybe doesn't work very hard.

Hard work...
... My guess is that 99% of the people in the league work harder than I ever have at anything. Regardless of his school affiliation, Wells has been hampered by, and recovered from, several injuries. He's been able to do this and still be in the top .1% of young people who play football. Question his judgment or media savvy, but questioning his effort seems off.
Do Something. If it works, do more of it. If it doesn't, do something else.
So is his last quote
So is his last quote basically saying, "the Cardinals' organization has pretty high standards for its players performance. I may not be living up to those expectations. Maybe I need to talk to them about that."?
If I read that right, then he is basically saying, I need to find a team that doesn't expect so much of its players. Good luck finding that team. And if you do find it, have fun losing.

now that you puit it that way
He IS a good fit for the Lions afterall!

WTF
He is upset that his coach benched him after he carried 4 times for 3 yards with a fumble. He didn't want back on the field to help him team, but to show the other 31 teams he is worthy of a contract. What a team player!
Beanie
Or teenie-weinie wells, whatever his name is, what an a-hole, I can still see him running through truck-sized holes against a Ron English defense...damn guy killed us.
Denard Robinson......They're not going to catch him!
Beanie wells is not an
Beanie wells is not an explosive playmaker and needs a certain scheme to succeed. Having watched him for a few years it seems that he is not going to do anything more than the offensive line is giving him. Wells needs a dominant offensive line to open holes and he can provide 4-5 yards a crack
If I given a hole. Unfortunately for him, the cardinals offensive line was disgusting and he was hit at the line of scrimmage for most of his career. I really think the stealers should take a look at him.
the supreme head butt
Beanie wells is not an
Lost my double post virginity and I feel like a slut....
the supreme head butt
did he make more in the nfl or at ohio?
as a back: he is stiff, upright, brittle.
he has had the underwhelming career most people predicted but i believe as opposed to clarett, he was paid more in the pros than at ohio.
generally, he is a buckeye and a big POS.
