Yasinskas on Beason

[NanceUSMC]

Jon Beason, linebacker, Panthers. This guy’s been a leader since the first day he stepped on the field in Carolina. But, after watching Beason in minicamp a couple weeks ago, I’m guessing we’re about to see his leadership skills become much more prominent – and that’s a good thing. Beason is a high-energy guy who totally buys into John Fox’s system. He’s already had the résumé and the personality to lead, but he might have been holding back just a little bit out of respect to veterans. Julius Peppers, who had the résumé, but didn’t want to lead, and Chris Harris, who wanted to lead, but didn’t really have the résumé, are gone now. No matter what happens at quarterback, the Panthers already have their leader. This is Beason’s team.

beason will be our ray lewis.

[Azteca]

Beason is the best linebacker since Joe Montana

[Jensen]

If he ditches the therapist thingy ray has going on, then hopefully yes!

[Brandon]

beason will be our ray lewis.

Lewis will be known as our Jon Beason.

[bab270]

Lewis will be known as our Jon Beason.

Wait... so in this scenario we are trading Beason for Lewis?

Beason and Willis are the best 2 MLB's doin it in the game today. Anyone who doesnt think so is just silly. That, and it aint poo for Beason to break some fools face up for frontin like he plays in the league.

dur.... any moron could sing the praises of beason. he's the easiest guy on the team to put on a pedestal. it would be tough to think of anything critical to say about his heart or his ability. Yaz must have phoned that one in.

I would give a slight nod to Demeco Ryans for being in the same category as Willis and Beason.

[Future of the Funchise]

yea... good stuff.

Top 10 for sure. I'm on the fence for top 5. his production has dipped every year since his rookie year.

My top 5:

1. Patrick Willis

2.Jon Beason

3.Ray Lewis

4.London Fletcher

5. Kirk Morrison

Kirk Morrison...:eek:

Give me Nick Barnett, Dansby or Posluszny over him. Morrison is a pure run stopper and not much else, there are more than 4 every down line backers in this league, Kirk is not one of them.

Lewis & Fletcher are there only because of consistency now, they do not have the play making ability of some younger guys.

[Montsta]

Beason is the best linebacker since Joe Montana

Or Joe Montegna....

Awesome!
