Why the media is overselling the value of former Steelers Brown and Bell

NFL media has been consumed with talks of Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell this offsesaon. While the Steelers did lose two All-Pros, is the national media overselling the value of these two football players to Pittsburgh’s success?

In a recent episode of the Rich Eisen Show, Eisen suggests that the Steelers don’t have a shot without Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell:

Eisen’s opening statement in the video was ‘no Brown, no Bell, no shot’ – suggesting that the Steelers don’t stand a chance without the two former All-Pro weapons.
