So Beasley performed to his average and had little to impact on the game.

 

[AbeBeta]

But Beasley is gonna lead in inappropriate tweets.

You gotta embrace the advanced stats, dude.

Watched the Bills game today. Outside of the pick, Beasley was a complete non factor. All of his catches came while in the first half while the Bills offense couldnt move. He was a complete ghost when the Bills started making their comeback

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Cobb played so well, kind of scratching my head as to why Beasely was on this roster for that long

 

[hornitosmonster]

Beasley who...that guy who has a long winter ahead? Hahaha

 

[cern]

Cobb has a much higher skill set than Beasley. It's not close. Jointly and severally our wr's looked outstanding.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Cobb is a playmaker and way better than Beaz!

Cobb is a true professional that opens up the passing game even more.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Hard to compare those WR's when the difference in talent at QB is so great.

But clearly Cobb will be better for the Cowboy offense than The Bease was.

 

[GhostOfPelluer]

Beasley was a solid role player who let a few good plays get to his head and made him believe he was more than he was. Cobb is essentially who Beasley thinks he is.

Cobb good guy on/off field

Beasley total DB

We upgraded.

Just think, Dallas could have stuck with Switzer and developed him replace Beasley.

 

[Hoofbite]

I'm not sure anyone would have even thought Beasley was ever as good as Cobb. Cobb's issue has been health. It's awfully hard to produce from the sidelines or while on IR.

 

[Doomsday101]

I think Cobb allows for more options, he is not just a slot guy

 

[Carson]

Four years, 29 million for one.

One year, 5 million for the other.

Re up Cobb next season

Just think, Dallas could have stuck with Switzer and developed him replace Beasley.

Was about to post Switzer looks no better than average in Pittsburgh. Not one bit of wishing he was still in Dallas.

Yep. Pittsburgh lost their #1 WR and Switzer didn't move up their depth chart. Beasley was a solid slot guy, but he was limited in some aspects. Switzer would have been a downgrade.

After one game it is difficult to disagree, let's see how it is after ten games. I like Beasley, he is a football player, the ball delivery system in place in Buffalo is below what Beasley had in Dallas IMO. Great game for receivers today

You're right he didn't look like a very good defensive back when the ball bounced off him for the interception and td. Guess that's another one he can blame on the Cowboys. Wonder what he's going to blame on the Bills
