Vic Beasley Being Let Go (1 Viewer)

[Madmarsha]

Should’ve burned that tape. Two busts

Are you talking about the halftime show?

Quinn publicly stood behind Vic and said he'd turn him around.
Vic held out of Voluntary workouts (strike 1).
Quinn wanted to work with him 1 on 1 and from what I could tell that never really materialized before the season started.

It's not that he's bad, he actually came around at the end of the season. He's just not the guy they drafted. Tak hasn't really had a great career so far either so I'm guessing they'll be targeting pass rusher early in the draft again.

Absolutely not. I would never burn those two busts.

Vic beasted his rookie season and then under performed the other 4. I don’t follow the failclowns so I don’t remember if they changed DC’s or LB coaches during Vic’s tenure but for someone with his speed and talent maybe a change of scenery and scheme could be a good thing so long a we don’t over pay

In his second year they had him dropping into coverage, he never really recovered.

There's obviously something behind the scenes that went on.

Yep. He’s an unrestricted free agent. Instead of just letting him go somewhere else, they had to be petty about it. Weird.

I think he is viewed as underperforming, over paid, and a locker room cancer. there is no other reason to so publicly fire him.

 

[Trey W.]

I could be wrong, I know he’s listed as a LB but didn’t he play a lot at DE. I know there was a few years when we played them he lined up at DE a lot. Is there a site that lists the amounts of snaps he had at LB and DE to see if he was being played out of position?

Hearing Vic is a cancer and me first guy from the chatter.

But that's only one side of the story.

Fans can’t get rid of him and Campbell fast enough.

Sign me up for the Saints getting DeVondre Campbell. He’d be an upgrade over Klein IMO.
I’d also be happy if they were able to get Beasley on a 1-year “prove it” deal. He could be the speed edge rusher the defense is lacking

The Falcons can't even create their own material. Ripping off the Blue Jays.

He was on gear coming out of Clemson but he regressed after that first season as he lost size. He was on gear in the second half of last season. He gained considerable size and strength that had been lacking. He will come back down to earth without that stuff. His head is outside of football. Stay far away from him.

 

[V Chip]

I'd be fine taking a flyer on him hoping he can at least beast out two games a year...

There's obviously something behind the scenes that went on.

Dont doubt it. I made a joke on twitter that no one would go after Beasely but i could totally see us making a play on him for cheap. His rep has been shattered and production down. 1year deal, comes in and Nielsen squeezes some juice out of the fruit that the falcons couldn't.

 

[BreesusSaves]

The only reason I want the Saints to sign him is how freaking amazing it would be if he turned it around in New Orleans. Really anything that can bring misery to the Falcons is worth considering.

Absolutely not. I would never burn those two busts.

How about those Boobs stomping around them ?
