Beason posted to his blog yesterday. It was mainly about the coming season. But he had a nice paragraph about Greg Hardy. I have a serious mancrush on Beason and respect the hell out of him. And I'm really excited about Hardys potential. It's nice to see Hardy is playing his ass off with a chip on his shoulder.

This is the link to the entire blog entry on his site: http://www.beason52.com/2010/09/04/live-bullets

Here is the snipet about Hardy:

One guy who has made the most of his chance is Greg Hardy. This guy was an All-American in 2008, had something like 16 or 17 sacks at Mississippi and was projected as a top 15 draft pick. Then he had an injury in 2009 and we got him this year in the 6th round of the draft. He is in a tough spot, because we needed someone to fill arguably the biggest defensive end hole in the league after we lost Julius Peppers. But it’s amazing to see Greg’s desire to play the game. The kid knows how to play football. Every play he is relentless and he knows it. You can see that chip on his shoulder, he wants to prove to everybody who doubted him that they made a mistake. That’s fortunate for me and everybody else affiliated with the Panthers. We’re happy to have him.

Beason--Not Smith, Not Matt Moore, not Gross, Not Williams, etc. is the undisputed leader of this team. Hardy is probably our best DE even though it is too early to say. He could be better than Peppers. I never saw someone so aggressive at OTAs in June. I kept saying, "He is a sixth rounder, but damn he looks good. Of course, these are only OTAs. Lets see him with the pads on." OUR DEs have NEVER been better.

Now that Harris and Peppers are gone, Beason is the undisputed leader of the defense. He's got the desire that Peppers never seemed to, and won't feel shy about demanding it of others. I wonder if that's a contributing factor in how much more intense our defense has been than in years past.

He would have still been the undisputed leader of the defense even if Peppers was still here. No way someone as quiet as Peppers can be considered a real leader.

As long as Peppers was on the defense, there was the question of whether Pep truly accepted Beason's leadership. And that sort of thing cascades.

Beason is already one of my all time favorite Panthers, much less my favorite player now. He is awesome and the fact he gives mad respect to Hardy, makes me happy in my pants.

The one thing that truly made me respect him (even more) was win I went to training camp the first time this year, after practice, he made sure to sign all the autographs he could, and chat with all the fans. It was great. He's a genuine guy and a great leader for the team and should be the face of the organization.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday. Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible.  Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on.

      None of us think we're contenders this season but no reason we're doomed to 5 or 6 wins either. Dan has to have another 2025- like draft class and at least 2 key free agent signings. We're not Seattle but they don't win without 5 starters from their last 2 draft classes and Darnold and Lawrence in free agency.  Alas,  we'll have to wait one more season for a QB upgrade.
