It is my understanding that we are still paying Beason some millions of dollars and a 7th rounder is hardly fair trade value for a guy who started last year for the Giants.

 

At middle linebacker.

 

Beason was never going to start again over Luke.  And playing on the outside, he was a liability.  That's why he wound up benched for Chase Blackburn.

 

So how much is a bench warmer worth to you?  That's the question because as much as I like Beason, that's what he had become here.

 

Everyone loves Beason for all that he gave us, but that time is long past.  People need to remember that smart teams value players based on what they are now, not what they used to be.

How is it that people still call him beast

 

 

Two things that inexplicably seem to escape a lot of folks on here...

 

- Young players often improve from year to year

 

- Older players generally aren't what they used to be

 

Heck, when Steve Smith was released, to hear people talk on here you'd have thought he led the league in receptions and touchdowns just last year.

Your understanding is incorrect. We might be still having his bonus affecting our cap but that money was paid when he was extended in 2011.

Imagine how the Eagles must have felt with Desean Jackson.  He actually had some nice stats last year.

 

Getting rid of Beason was a lot like getting rid of Smith.  Only difference is when the Panthers cut Smith there was no budding young star to take his place like they had with Kuechly.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone and we have Taylor Moton inked to a recent extension. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
