Quote:Beasley has done nothing until the past 4 games, which means close to his 20th game in his career. Plus his offense is actually scoring points and forcing teams to pass the ball in obvious situations. Its false equivalency to compare him to Fowler right now. I doubt Beasley would be much better if he lost a season to an ACL injury and playing his rookie year now with a offense that can do nothing.

You can take as long as you need to get to the sample size you want, but you're most likely gonna be disappointed whenever that is. Beasley showed he was a great pass rusher in college, he racked up the pressures last year despite not getting many sacks, and he is now turning those pressures into sacks. That's the typical progression you see from a pass rusher.

 

Dante has done exactly zero of those things. He looks exactly like he did in college, which is to say not a pass rusher unless he is being schemed into getting them. And guess what, he is getting stoned if he isn't stunting the A gap. He has 7 hurries on the year and 5 of them are unblocked.   

 

But if everyone wants to table the discussions until next year so the SSS isn't as small that's fair, it's just unlikely to change in that time. I'll cop to it if it does.
