Cole Beasley is uncoverable, according to the dolt broadcasters

[Ice_Ice_Brady]

I get it. Beasley is a small white WR who plays a lot on the inside and is shifty and quick. He also wears #11. For them to confuse him with Edelman, though, by calling him "uncoverable" and some inane comment like "Hey, it's third down, we're always looking for #11 first because he is automatic" was pretty mind boggling. Those commentators notes were clearly mixed up and they confused the two. I would have thought they knew who Edelman is, considering he has been the leading receiver for the league's best team for almost three years and caught the Super Bowl winning TD just eight months ago.

Or maybe they were actually referring to Beasley after all, in which case they are even dumber than previously thought.

Agreed. It's such a lazy, simple minded comparison

would love beasley on the team, kick out amendola.
grab decker while youre at it. maybe even riley cooper just to piss stephen a smith off!!

seriously lazy comparison but all of the white guys get compared to each other, except for gronk

 

[blueberryicedcoffee]

Beasley and Edelman are completely different types of receivers.

It is funny how good Beasley is when Dez and Tony are out there, though. A physical freak like Dez outside, Witten in the middle and Beasley in the slot is just tough to defend.

Stephen "double standard" Smith

Media loves lazy comparisons, it's why every black qb gets compared to other black qbs. Same thing with guys who went to the same school; I'm reminded of how every commentator remarks on Blount being great in short yardage but that's purely because they think of him as being a plodding type of back due to his size, the fact that they see him run a different style every week doesn't matter.

REVERSE RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which broadcasters are you talking about?

On this website, the term "dolts" refers to the Indianapolis team. They played on Thursday.

The Dolts???..and all this time I could have sworn it was the "Clots"...oh well, what's the difference. Of course ,after the idiocy I just read from blueberry pancaked moron in all the other threads , I'd like to propose we refer to the Cowedboys as the "Cowboys and Aliens" from hereon out...

"you Patriots fans are so wrong!!! Hardy called the police!!! He's innocent!! She attacked HIS FISTS with HER FACE!! Why don't you Patriot fans see this???"

I thought of Mrs. Beasley as well, but then figured, "Nobody here is old enough to get this." Glad I'm wrong. LOL

 

[Froob]

Agreed. It's such a lazy, simple minded comparison

The Welker comparison is a lot worse.

Mr. Beasley....That is freaking funny.

Yep, I'm guilty of smothering most of my pop-culture references in dust and cobwebs; whenever I do one of my mini masterpieces, the mantra goes into overdrive - "showing my age, showing my age, showing my age". The fact that I watched these as syndicated reruns takes away a bit of the sting.

Beasley isn't even a good comp as a poor man's Edelman, they're completely different players with little in common. Edelman is 5'10, 200 and plays bigger than that. Beasley is 5'8 175 and if anything plays smaller than that size. He's a homeless man's Welker, way more one-dimensional than Edelman. And not even that good at his one dimension, really.

Then again, the people making this comparison are generally the same people who still insist that Welker and Edelman are similar players, despite the fact that they played completely different roles in the Pats offense and just generally don't have much in common. There isn't much hope for these people. Phil Simms tells them it's true, and they believe it because they don't realize that 80% of what comes out of Simms' mouth is garbage. I'm pretty sure his reasoning for making these ******ed comps begins with "white" and end with "under 6 feet tall and quick." The whole thing reminds me of how everyone spent like 3 years trying to make the Jordan Shipley/Welker comparison, despite them having nothing at all in common except position and race.

It's not racism, but it is pretty funny to watch people be completely unable to make player comparisons across races, instead opting to make even bad comparisons as long as they stay within the same race. It seems most common at QB when the pundits are struggling to find comps for a non-mobile black guy like Jameis or Geno Smith. Similar issue with white WRs, too, which we're seeing here. There's a lot of WRs that Edelman has more in common with than Welker, but for obvious reasons that's the comp that's stuck. He has a lot more in common with Deion Branch than Welker, but that comp breaks 'the rule'.
