Beason: Rebuilding not always bad for Panthers

[SmootsDaddy89]

If Beason started a church I'd be the first in line to be an altar boy, just saying.

wait a sec! i thought we weren't rebuilding???

You sure they will let you in, with all your sins and such?

[Future of the Funchise]

I hope he can push some of these young guys to be as motivated as he is.

You know Beason will do his part. The issue is how everyone else plays not him. The back seven should be fine if Marshall comes back. I hope Meeks will prove how good an addition he was by pulling this group into a cohesive productive unit. Baker has his work cut out for him.

Beason is an atheist and thinks people who believe in god are gay as hell

well seeing most of his team as gay has to be bad for morale

[fitty76]

I don't like rebuilding because it is wasting the talent of D-Will and Stewart. Trade one of them or both. You all know RBs have a very short shelf life.

Oh Nanner… What would we be without you.

I am glad to see Jon Beason step up in a leadership role and tell it like it is.

I don't get it...who are all these veteran leaders we've supposedly cut?? Aside from Jake, who did we let go that has everyone saying "oh we don't have any leadership left on the roster"?? Beason has been the leader of the defense for the last two years, and there is still PLENTY of character and leadership left on the offensive side of the ball - what's the problem?

It seems to me that some people are panicking because we are cutting familiar, comfortable names. Well you know what, GOOD. Our team was getting too comfortable, too familiar and too complacent. I don't want 30 + year-old FBs who are playing their last season and then planning on retiring on the field - I want young guys out there, who are anxious to kick butt and make a name for themselves.

Say what you will, but if we address just a couple of concerns before the start of this season, we're going to be fine.

A leader being a leader.

People like to knee jerk more than anything. People are scared of change.

This team is younger, an hungier. I pitty the team that faces us. Do I think we'll be dominant?

No, but I know we won't be a walk over.

[ncbobcat]

Beason sounded optimistic, but not convinced. As a leader that is what you should do, though he used tenative language and not concrete. To me, he's got his reservations. Jon does seemed stoked about the 'unkown' of the coming year.

[Mr. Burgundy]

Makes me proud to be a panthers fan. I like when the players are more devoted to the team than I am. The way it should be

[DaveThePanther2008]

Beason is the Ray Lewis of our defense, I really believe the guys on that side of the ball are going to feed off him and there going to be better people expect.

Ray Lewis won't let that defense be bad. He expects everyone to be perfect. Which you have to admire about him. He is a HOFer and I believe Beason will make our DEFENSE in the mold of Ray Lewis's Baltimore Defense.

Go Panthers

[Argus Plexus]

Several people are gonna burn me at the stake for this, but...

Jon Beason will become better than Ray Lewis ever was. To hell with any of you who would think different.
