Who was better.. Kuechly or Beason in his prime and pre injury?

As I've said a few times before, I didn't actively start following the Panthers until 2010/2011 (no not because of jumping on the Cam bandwagon.) although I do admit that us having the 1st overall pick really made my interest get a lot of steam and since then I have been a avid, die hard fan..

So with that said, besides the Arizona game in 2011 when Beason blew out his Achilles, I never really got to see him in his prime.. So if someone came up to you and gave you a choice between Kuechly or Beason and guaranteed that both would remain healthy and play at high levels, who do you got?

To answer your question, Beason was a great player. He had a ton of heart and had a way to lead men. He was one of the best speakers and was amazing at rallying the troops. He was a little undersized but was pretty darn fast. BUT he was no Luke. Luke will go down as one of the greats if he plays for many years. Not many players will have the opportunity to go down as one of the greats at his position.

Beason was good but probably a bit overrated.  Luke is great and is probably, if anything, a bit underrated.  Luke is on the way to being a first ballot Hall of Famer while Beason, even if he never got hurt, would have probably maxed out at 3-4 pro bowls.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
