(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) The last three months have brought loads of emotions for Carolina Panthers linebacker span class=boldJon Beason/span, all mixed. But as he returned to town last week to re-join his teammates, he's put the negative behind him and is focused on what he thinks will be a successful transition.p/Despite the losses of players such as span class=boldJulius Peppers/span, span class=boldNa'il Diggs/span, span class=boldMaake Kemoeatu/span and span class=boldDamione Lewis/span from the defense - his defense - Beason said there's an electricity surrounding what's left.

"That's nothing but fuel to my fire," Beason said. "Through my whole offseason, all my training, that's motivation. I'm going to make sure nobody forgets my name next season. I'm feeling good now, I feel bigger, I feel stronger than I have at this point.

"That's why I'm looking forward to this season so much. The word I keep coming back to is dominant. I want to be a dominant player this year, and I'm going to do what I have to to get there."

Pretty sure he just secured the spot as my favorite Panther.

I hope his motivation so far this offseason continues into training camp and the regular season, and I hope that the younger players become just as motivated...Like he said competition is a good thing, and for Connor and Anderson to battle for the starting role should make them better athletes all around. (Still want Connor to be the starter though)

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
