Former First-team All-Pro and Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell, came to the defense of his former team and quarterback Russell Wilson on Thursday on social media.

Things got heated on Wednesday, as CBS Sports Analyst Pete Prisco offered criticism of the Steelers' newly announced Week 1 starter, Russell Wilson, which many consider to be a freezing cold take.

Not only does Prisco believe Pittsburgh is the worst team in the AFC North, but Prisco argued that Russell Wilson was 'barely' better than the QB situation the Steelers found themselves in for 2023.

Le'Veon Bell begs to differ, however, with Bell questioning the integrity of the analysis. Bell took to social media and kept it very simple in his questioning of Prisco's analysis.

Sarcasm aside, the stats also back up what Bell and the Steelers fandom already know about the differences between Pickett/Trubisky/Rudolph and former Super Bowl champion and 9-time Pro-Bowler Russell Wilson.
