He declined severely, he has taken a toll over the middle, he's 33 years old... that's what happens. I like Beasley but he's just declined to far, he's too slow. Time will tell. Beasley is still tough as nails and surgical in how he can find the gaps in zone coverage. There are two perspectives: 1) Beasley was hampered by rib injuries and perhaps by continued recovery from his broken leg (it didn't need surgery, but could still have slowed him), those are the reason for his decline in 1st downs and Y/R. If he's healthy, he's still Got It 2) Beasley was markedly slower last season and easier to take away. We no longer hand the "intermediate passing game" we'd had the previous year because he couldn't get there quickly enough I personally kind of wonder if Beasley will actually be a good match for Brady. I haven't been paying enough attention to Tampa Bay, but in NE Brady seemed to have a reputation for demanding surgical precision from his receivers vs "get open and catch the ball".

Toyo321 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Beasley is a gamer, he always has been. Played injured for us with damn broken bones for pete's sake. How many times did you see him make catches for us and we all knew he was playing hurt. Yeah he ran his mouth, but that still does not mean he can't play at a high level. It sucks he has to goto Tampa to play, but he still deserves a shot at playing some where. I wish him well.

Imo, he was on his way to Ring of Honor status/Buffalo immortality. The Bills have GPS data on every player for every practice and game. The game data are public, the practice data are confidential. I thought it was a mistake when we cut John Brown to save money, but after he bounced around on and off 4 teams the following season, it seemed pretty likely the Bills knew what they were doing and were acting based on medical reports and data. I think the Bills were likely to move on from Beasley due to medical reports and what they saw on film and on the GPS compared to his contract even if he'd been the perfect soldier all season, and that (what has been reported and rumored and fined for) his behavior on-site refusing to follow his employer's rules was what clinched the deal.

I think it's notable that Beasley has been signed to the practice squad and will have to earn his way onto the roster. I think when training camp started, he was thinking he would turn down a guaranteed contract for vet minimum, he wanted more. Now.... 1 hour ago, DaggersEOD said: Take off your anger pants buddy.

FilthyBeast Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Perfect fit and thought all along it'd be a team like GB or Tampa that signs him. Not good news for the rest of the league giving Brady another Edleman type of player which is something that has been missing during his time with the Bucs. It's going to get real old hearing about Brady to Beasely over and over later this season. Would be another great storyline too if the Bills and Bucs meet in the SB which a lot of folks predicted before the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Tom Brady will love Beasley. That will be his new Welker/Edelman type of WR. Wouldn't be a bad grab in PPR leagues either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Lost in the political discourse that surrounds any mention of Bease is how it will be a miracle if he stays healthy. I think he can be productive, but can he stay on the field? Brady loves experienced wideouts, but much like Julio Jones, how much will he be on the field?

BullBuchanan Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Folks here are probably making way too much of this. When receivers start to decline, they drop off a cliff. Jordy Nelson went from 1257/14TD to less than 500 in a season and was done. Vincent Jackson went from 1000 to 550, Roddy White 1351 to 711, TY Hilton 1270 to 551. Beasley is older than all of them when his drop occurred. The difference between an elite WR and a guy that isn't good enough to play in the league isn't much more than a step. I'd be floored if he's able to look anything like his 2020 or prior self. More than likely I see him pushing too hard and getting a nagging injury and he hangs them up after the year. 18 minutes ago, Meatloaf63 said: He wasn’t ignorant, you just didn’t like what he had every right to say.

frostbitmic Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I'll be rooting against him as I do all players who play on the same team as Brady. I would root for him as long as he isn't playing for an AFC East team, a Brady team or the Cowboys. Was this the big contract he was weighing his options on back in July ?

Success Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I'm already keeping a wary eye on the Bucs. Maybe I'm soft, but it's hard for me to look forward to a SB against that team, with that QB. Too many years - he's still the monster in the closet for me. Sure, it would be the ultimate to finally beat him in a game like that (and feel a lot like our win over the Pats last year in the WC). But is it worth 2 weeks of talking heads talk about how one-sided Brady's record is against the Bills, and all of that baggage? Just give me a normal SB, psychologically. That will be stressful enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
