BuffaloRush Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I’ve listened to Brandon Beane’s past media appearances. Whenever he talks up Nate Peterman, he always says “he’s Steady Eddie.” What the hell does “Steady Eddie” even mean? Is that like calling someone “Charlie Hustle?” I’ve never once hear anyone call someone a Steady Eddie, so I don’t know what that means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that helpful? Hell no. I Googled the term too. From what i was able to find being called a “Steady Eddie” is not exactly a compliment. It means you are overly careful or cautious. Not a good trait for your QB unless your name is Tyrod Taylor. https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/steady-eddy-eddie.2002822/ Just now, HamSandwhich said: Nah man, it means his real name is Eddie...where'd you get Steady?

"Steady" is what you call your quarterback when you can't accurately use better adjectives, like "good." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drf1835 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Eddie Murray, likely named after him. Very reliable baseball player of the past. His nickname was such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs to learn when to air-mail throw and move to next play rather than trying to get too cute with sideline throws." and who threw at least 4 INTs last season where this was a factor, "overly careful or cautious" could be a Good Thing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that like calling someone “Charlie Hustle?” I’ve never once hear anyone call someone a Steady Eddie, so I don’t know what that means. It's an old idiom or cliche. You can find it in the urban dictionary. It's a very old saying. Was around when I was a boy and that was a while. Means you can count on a person for consistency. It's been around since before Steady Eddie Murray, who was a terrific player by the way. Very consistent. And a Hall of Famer. EDIT: Here's a 1962 vintage "Steady Eddie" balancing game. Murray's rookie year was 1977. And Milton Bradley didn't make up the name, they just used it. It's been around a long time. https://www.amazon.com/Steady-Eddie-Balancing-Original-Version/dp/B00B5TOHBS And Hockey Hall of Famer Ed Giacomin was another Steady Eddie. Mel Allen used to call Yankee pitcher Ed Lopat (1944 - 1955, 166 - 112, career ERA 3.21) Steady Eddie. Again, it's a really old phrase.

Well, in the LA/SD game, straight into the hands of the defensive unit. ? OK, Straight Nate promised not to let it happen again.
