Beason On Espnu Right Now

[Guest Irv]

TUne in

(update coming soon)

He doesnt know at all who the panthers want to draft but likes luke kuchley.

He likes his passion and motor.

Wants a guy that wants to win and isnt about the money. Whoever gets drafted hes gonna take the time to sit down with him and teach him as much as possible.

Showed his workout video.

His last bench press was 375 as a junior at miami

I guess he's changed a lot since his holdout if he wants a guy who isnt thinking about money.

[Jackofalltrades]

Money wasn't why he held out, it was because of a widespread contract type change, FYI.

[Cary Kollins]

all aboard

Holding out is salary negotiation tactic. This is his job. Players have an extremely limited window to make money, so they have to maximize every chance they get. That's not selfish, that's just being smart.

Once he signed, he's given everything he's got to the organization both on and off the field, so I say he was worth every penny. What he is talking about are the Jamarcus Russell of the world who sign a big contract then don't work hard to live up to it because they want the money but don't love the game.

These are RR's Panthers now. Show up and give everything you've got, or get the fug out. Cam's swag is going to be enforcing that on the offensive side, and Beason's biceps will be enforcing it on the defensive side.

I do like the fact that Beason had the nads to tell Peppers to get off his lazy ass

[PantherPhann89]

Beason is to our defense as Cam is to our offense!

Funny that he likes Kuechly. According to the huddle haters Kuechly isn't all that. Imagine an All pro linebacker like Beason wants to draft him especially when he might challenge his job. I guess Beason knows what it takes to be successful and thinks Kuechly has it. Sounds like he thinks they would work well together as well. Blows to hell all the BS hater arguments.

[CRA]

Beason is such a Luke fanboy. How annoying.

[CarolinaNCSU]

Beason likes Keuchly??? Say it ain't so! Analysts, actual football players, and possibly our coaches and GM may just know more than the Huddle...

So the contract change had to do with what??? Executive washroom privileges???

I'm guessing it was money.

There's a buisness side of football and Beason handled that side in a professional manner. And he is worth every penny as the highest paid MLB in the league.

"All about the money" could be interpreted in many ways, I think he just wants a guy who loves the game itself rather than the extras that come with it. If your going to get paid you might as well try to get the most money for your efforts, but it's just interesting hearing that from him.

If I remunerative correctly it was not about the actual numbers. I think it was about the length of contract and howuch was guaranteed.
