Did everybody just freak out about Beadles because of 2 Vines of Training Camp? Literally 17 seconds of video? This "Beadles is terrible" thing needs to stop. He is what he is. He's mediocre. He's a middle of the road guard. He's probably gone after this year (assuming Cann is good) but he's almost certainly going to be starting the year at guard. 

 

PFF isn't gospel but their OL rankings are on point and I'd much rather take their word for it over random people on the message board. Rankings in terms of guards who played at least 50% of snaps:

 

2012: 17/54

2013: 40/60

2014: 29/61

 

 

One above-average year, one below-average year, and one right in the middle. He's still under 30 and has hardly ever missed a snap, let alone a game. You want terrible? Remember Will Rackley? That's a bad guard. Beadles is ok. 

 

Also given that his salary this year is fully guaranteed, the suggestion of cutting him is... a little silly. Barring a disaster pre-season he's the starter, and he should be.
