Why was Beason moved to the Outside?

Recommended Posts

Just trying to make sense here, not poking or prodding... Why exactly was he moved to the outside? Was it in hopes to improve the pass rush for Peppers leaving?... I know he was a beast at MLB and feared him being on the field vs Tampa. Now there isn't too much of a fear of his presence.

Are the Panthers sold on Connor at MLB or what's the deal exactly?

Think Derrick Brooks.

Connor doesn't have the speed Beason does...and the injury to Davis forced a move. They had enough issues as strong side LB with the Anderson/etc rotation, that they needed stability in the middle position throughout the year and mobility at the WLB spot. Beason fits that perfectly. If Davis had been there...Beason would be MLB.

Speaking of...Davis was working really hard to get back at the end of the PUP period. Anyone know if he was put on IR or still on PUP?

Yea, I think Beason is a top LB for sure and people laugh when I say he's even a top 3.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to mention Derrick Brooks here with the type of player he was but Beason has potential to do some things for sure.

Why not trade for a LB?

Our linebackers have been solid...about the only part of the team thats been solid. No worries here unless someones sad that Beason won't put up career tackle numbers.

The reason I mentioned DB was in this system you want an athletic playmaker at the Will, so compare Beason to DB. LB has been our most consistent defensive unit this year, and we did trade Harris for Williams.

Its not a complicated puzzle to figure out, although Beas is best suited in the middle.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
