Losing Beasley

[johneric8]

Many here rued the day we lost Beasles.

He was a fan favorite and I personally enjoyed rooting for him. That said, we weren't going to pay him.

Here's a look at his season, along with his replacements season. I think we made a smart move.

BEASE: 4 years 29 million
REC 67
YDS 778
AVG 11.6
TDS 6

COBB: 1 year 5 million
REC 55
YDS 828
AVG 15.1
TDS 3

My apologies if this has already been posted. Beasley was a different type of player for us and you could still argue we missed him at points last season. I predicted Cobb would top Beasleys best season in Dallas and he certainly came close. In the same tone of optimism I think CD tops both of them this year. It should be fun to watch. Dak has no choice but to blow up with the weapons he has been provided.

We didn't miss Beasley at all last season.

We didn't miss Beasley at all last season.

Best was key on third down his whole career. No one could work the underneath routes like he could. So every time we had to punt after a third and short I thought of Beasley. So yeah, i thought of Beasley a lot last year because I saw the area where we missed him.

Beasley moving on brought on way more drama from some fans than what was warranted. Solid player who was not worth paying what he got.

There's still ruination over letting Beasley walk?

Lamb will make them both easily forgotten but Beasleys ability to get open in small spaces still isn’t replaced on this roster.. Maybe it doesn’t need to be but he could get open quick.

He was the perfect anti-blitz valve. His size was a challenge for QBs but you only needed to throw it in his area, and he'd get it far more often than not. He looked open on that Dez play in Green Bay. I forget why Romo said he didn't throw to him then but the blitz was coming and Beasley was open for the first.

I watched most of the Bills games last year because they are the local team. Beasley did alot better that I predicted given the circumstances. Beasley would struggle here when he became more of the focus of the offense.

The Bills were incredibly weak as far as pass catchers. Their passing game really just consisted of him and John Brown, and Brown isn't much bigger than Beasley. Thats one of the reasons why I think Allen is better than his stats suggest.

I dont think Diggs is unquestioned #1 WR type. However, I think a WR corps of Diggs, Brown and Beasley is pretty damn good. I can actually see Buffalo winning 12 games this year

I love Buffalo to win that division and make noise. If the Pats get Cam it will be very interesting.

If you factor in that we received a comp pick for Beasley it’s a no brainer.

 

[CWR]

I'll miss the Beeez. Was my pet cat that year over the drafted Danny Coale. Tiny technician and tough as nails.

Beat the Giants twice with catches at the Meadowlands. Have a seat young man.

He was nearly impossible to cover 1 v 1. Did you ever see him dunk? He didn't just dunk, had enough hops to sky up there and get a windmill. Lol, agreed he was a tough little son of a gun.

I don’t think Cam is smart enough and unselfish enough to play for The Hoodie.

 

[Verdict]

Also, Beasley ran his head a lot and I don’t miss that at all. Lots of attitude for a guy who quit on his team and had to be convinced to come back and stick with it.

 

[CWR]

I don’t think Cam is smart enough and unselfish enough to play for The Hoodie.

Yeah that could be. Im sure BB won't tolerate less than a full buy in. Who knows though, many didn't think Moss was a good fit either. Cam has to be humbled by this off season. The opportunity to win it all may change his outlook.

Nope...we're just fondly reminiscing a former Dallas player. How dare we. The nerve.

I haven't seen anyone say anything to the contrary.

 

[dsturgeon]

It was his first year with a new qb and a new system. Hopefully he is able to take it up a notch this coming year.

 

[JBS]

Cobb and Beasley are a different style of player.

Cobb is built for bigger plays and has more run after catch abilities so his numbers should look better than Beasleys.

Beasley is much better at working small spaces and getting open quickly compared to Cobb but as a down the field threat Beasley can't touch Cobb.

Cobb can play all 3 WR positions. Beasley is limited to a slot guy that won't do much down field.

I think Beasley is better at what he does then Cobb but after you factor in the money that we paid then Cobb was obviously a better choice.


It's similar to Dak and Andy Dalton... Is Dak better? Sure.. But when you compare contracts vs what both provide there isn't a big enough difference in play to validate one over the other.

Go and watch 3 dalton games from last year and then come back and tell me you still feel the same way..but you won't watch and you will comment as if you have seen him play 3+ games..but just like the rest of the people on here, you haven't

Why would you make us guess what games to watch in a down year, and then guess your point? Wouldn't it be more prudent to tell us why you think what you do?

Would Dak have the same success he's had HERE ...at Cinci? It's more of a make you think question, nothing can be proven. Totally opinion driven...which needs our cognitive bias to arrive at. Until TC/pre-season starts anyway.

Im not asking anyone to conform to my opinion. I don't want to hear somebodys opinion on a player, especially when they speak w such conviction, when they havent even seen the player play...where is the logic in that? So if somebody goes and watches the guy play, then tells me how they feel..I can at least respect that

I went and watched dalton play..so I'm not asking people to do anything I haven't done myself

I’ve watched Dalton plenty..

He is fine.. He actually has a back shoulder throw in his tool box too unlike Dak.

 

[Flamma]

The 49ers are the example you’re looking for.

Young roster with an overpaid QB.

In the end though they lost to the QB on a rookie deal.

We need to be the Chiefs in this situation.. Not the 49ers.


Unfortunately we don’t have a young roster and we are paying positions like RB and WR a lot of money while the defense is hurting for playmakers.

Even the 49ers weren't so bad off if you believe in the cap % theory. The 49ers QB was taking up 10.6% of the cap. You can't ask for much better unless it's a rookie.

The thing people fail to realize when they bring up Watson, Mahomes, Wilson and Rodgers, is that Dak is not that QB. And Dak is going to be a huge cap hit right out of the gate. If all of these other QBs can't win it after being paid, do we really expect Dak to do it? And like I said, if you believe the cap % theory with quarterbacks, or at least think it plays a role, Dak will be somewhere between 15%-20% throughout his contract.
