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

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
