Beal might be a Bust

Is there concern Beal hasn't been able to stay healthy thus far? Yes. Does that make him a bust when he hasn't played a down yet for the team? No. He should get an opportunity soon.

If he continues to get injured repeatedly over an extended period of time going forward then we'll have to re-evaluate. If you can't stay on the field your roster slot eventually goes to someone that can. Still too early to make that call though.

This same skepticism was applied correctly by many on BBI when judging if Collins was a good investment, remember. I am firmly in the wait and see, but cautious category with Beal. This is my concern more than the hamstring. I still think Collins will never be the same player again because leading with his shoulder is how he tackles. It isn't as much of a concern with Beal because as a CB, he should be wrapping guys up, but reinjuring a body part still raises a red flag.

Yeah, what scares me is if he tore his labrum twice (I don't know this btw, just guessing based on dislocations needing surgery), all types of motion, flexibility, and dexterity gets dicey.

Getting his arms around a big, fast, moving target puts a lot of stress on the joint. I've heard a dislocated shoulder described as "tearing the hinges of the door."

He's a young guy with plenty of time off between the procedures, hopefully he's good and healed and this is in the past soon for him.

Baker didn't get hurt his first practice and then spend the yr on IR, then get hurt right away the next yr. not sayin Beal is a bust, but, sheesh, for everyone to attack the thought of him possibly being injury prone is classic BBI

Beal has a History of being injured. If you want to use analogical satire to mock the OP, you have to do better

"History" is overblown. He's had the shoulder issue and now a hamstring.

It isn't like he was injured continuously in college

3rd rd pick coming off a shoulder injury, injured it again in his 1st practice, now the hammy in some ways, ability is not as important as availability

Sorry Dave, responded to wrong poster above. I agree it s not unreasonable to hope a guy who missed all of last year and is missing time again is not injury prone

Is they have the guy for 4 years. Year 1 he was injured for entire year, year 2 he is looking like he may miss majority if not all of training camp. You never know but that isn’t a good harbringer for either a healthy year or productive year for a young player. That means we are likely getting 2 years for a third round pick - he could still be worth it but it’s an unfortunate used of resources at this point.

get talked up a lot as the Holy Grail, but there are many 2nd contracts that don't come at a steep price. And unless Beal is a steady starter and impact player, it won't cost a bankload to keep him.

he may have a hard time getting on the field .
Once he does he has to produce show he is worthy
certainly off to a bad start but not ready for
the bust label he basically has yet to play .

This incorrect. You’re not using the douche bag right.

I can't think of a single other example of someone being given up on, damned near finished, resurrecting their career as a Giant. Webster is often overlooked as a reason 2007 happened. That team BARELY backed into the playoffs, they gave up EIGHTY points in their first 2 games and were decimated with injuries, CB unit hit hard all season, including Webster himself, but after Sam Madison got hurt in the last game of the season, Webster returned to start and DOMINATED.

Whatever I may think of Landon Collins as a player now, he was complete and utter garbage his rookie year and good the following year.

Offensive example - Amani Toomer was a tease for a few years before the light went on.

Sometimes it takes awhile. It absolutely could happen again.

But part of being a pro is being able to suit up on sundays.

Analogical satire?

That’s a good one. Definitely shuts people up
