Beason the tough guy

Panthers MLB Jon Beason wrote in his personal blog today that he had shoulder surgery on Feb. 12 to repair a torn labrum. He said he initially suffered the injury in October against Arizona, and played through the rest of the season.

Makes his Pro Bowl season that much more remarkable, that he did it one-armed for half the year. He wrote that "when I tackled someone it was almost like throwing a pillow at them.

Beason said he'd "absolutely" be ready for training camp and the first exhibition game. He's going to need the mental reps too, because the Panthers are shifting to a variation of the "Tampa 2" defense which will put increased burdens on him.

I'm not trying to place blame on Beason here but I wonder if this had anything to do with the defensive meltdown?

I wouldn't blame him entirely, that being said I'm sure it's hard to tackle with only one arm.

Yeah, as well as he played I wonder if his injury forced the defense to adjust to "help" Beason and that in turn caused the problems...

It's possible that knowing Beas was hurt that way made the other LBs sloppy in their gap control to try to "make up" for his limitations.

That said, it was the DL that was most of the problem last year, IMO.

Ultimately I can't see how it made any difference in the seasons outcome. The Cardinals offence played about the same in both games at BofA. The difference was the Panthers O didn't show up in the playoffs and the D wasn't good enough to overcome all of the turnovers.

Really against a decent offence what D could overcome 5 to's?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
