I have a hard time buying the notion that Jon Beason would give anything less than his best.

Back even before Luke Kuechly was on the team, there was a time when Beason played on the outside (it was Dan Connor in the middle). The results weren't as good, but it never looked like Beason was giving any less than his absolute best.

Outside just wasn't the right spot for him, but it was the only spot we had available because Kuechly was just better.

His starting somewhere else in the middle was the best outcome for him (and frankly, for us too).

Don't you also have a hard time buying chase blackburn being a better OLB too?

Cause any spot that's not kicking a ball, beason should be better. RB, SS, TE, DE, OG, etc etc beason should be better than a tryhard undrafted guy. I get he's a better fit as MLB, but the gaints version wouldnt have lost his job and made a great D better.

You're crazy if you think Beason wasn't giving his all at any position or any time when he was with the panthers

I wonder why that was. Does Rivera's MLB play a different way than what Fox's MLB used to? and then is that why when he went to the giants, fox's old squad, Beason excelled again?

Fox's old squad?

There are no remnants of his direct influence in NY, seeing as how he hasn't coached there since 2001

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
