Dallas Cowboys Receiver Cole Beasley: Stardom delayed

http://thelandryhat.com/2016/06/23/dallas-cowboys-receiver-cole-beasley-stardom-delayed/


After the team flopped last season, is 2016 the year Dallas Cowboys wide out Cole Beasley finally gets recognition as the best slot receiver in the NFL?

Greatness delayed. At least that’s what Dallas Cowboys fans are hoping is happening for arguably the best slot receiver in the NFL, Cole Beasley.

On the brink of stardom last year after stellar performances in the offseason and throughout training camp, Beasley’s hope of a true breakout season were dashed when starting quarterback Tony Romo‘s collarbone fractured twice limiting the four-time Pro Bowler to only four appearances in 2015.

Without Romo under center, the 5-8, 180 pound receiver struggled to find chemistry with the Cowboys three other quarterbacks. Beasley would still somehow end the season recording a career-high 52 receptions for 536 yards and five touchdowns.

Beasley finally did find a connection with back-up quarterback Kellen Moore in the last game of the Cowboys 4-12 season, recording five receptions for 53 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Washington Commanders.

Once again, Beasley is enjoying another solid offseason. And I’d expect nothing but the same from him come training camp in late July. But will this finally be the year the undrafted wide out out of SMU gets his due nationally?

Beasley is a niche’ player. And last season proved he’ll only go as far as Romo will take him. Stacked with offensive stars, the 36-year old quarterback has plenty of mouths to feed when it comes to getting players the ball...

Really? lol...Makes it sound like he's been putting up Pro Bowl numbers year after year but just gets overlooked for some reason. He may not even be the best slot receiver in the division.

Edelman blows goats.

Edelman is the premier slot guy in the league. He's also a total ****** bag.

Your combination of Iron Maiden and Homer Simpson prevents me from ever strongly disagreeing with you. Lol

I traveled to see Maiden at Madison Square Garden in March. They were outstanding.

Mods, sorry... I didn't realize that was considered a bad word on this board.

Beasley would be beastly with Brady at NE. The short passing game at NE is used like a run. We just don't use him often enough since he is usually the 4th option and now maybe even the 5th once Zeke gets playing time. I don't expect a big year for him with Romo feeding Dez, Butler, Williams, Witten and Zeke.

Not very good...but I'm still trying to figure out who it is exactly that is able to guard him from the slot receiver position.

Lol, I like Beasley, but he's not close to the best slot receiver in the NFL.

Edelman and Cobb are guys that come to mind off the top.

That said, with Romo back, I'd expect him to have a career year.

Oh come on, he's unequivocally a top 5 slot WR in the league and has the potential to break out, especially if one of our top WR's get injured.

ETA: It amazes me how many people dump on Beasley...I'm not even a huge fan but you have to give him credit for filling a niche position quite nicely

Cobb from green bay? He's not a slot receiver.
