NFL.com Article on Jon Beason


DFive

Recommended Posts

People on this site talk about Beason and Davis like they are the two best linebackers that ever played the game. In the NFL it is all about what have you done for me lately. Hopefully Beason comes back 100% but you cant put someone out on the field in a wheelchair just because they are a good leader.

Well if he doesn't return as the elite player we know him to be, then wouldn't you say his prior injury has certainly been a detriment to his career?

I don't think that's the case at all, though. Beason's hard work, determination, and football smarts will certainly allow him to come back from this injury. Maybe he won't always be 100%, but even a 90% Jon Beason is better than 99% of the NFL's MLBs.

I agree 100%

If Beason is 100% he should play the middle. If he is 85% he could play outside. If he is less than that he will play perhaps first and second down but not third if at all until he is ready.

Sure everyone would love to have him starting but don't fool yourself, Beason at 80% is not better than most linebackers in the league. In fact he might not be better than all but a few of them at that point if he is only 80%. Beason came in as a rookie and played at a high level right off the bat. Kuechly is faster, stronger and has better instincts as a rookie than Beason did as a rookie so if he is called into duty there is no reason to think he will struggle either. Would I like Beason to help teach Kuechly the ropes and watch them play together?? Of course, but only if Beason is healthy. Why rush him back like he did to himself last year when I think that contributed to his Achilles injury and could cause a re-injury.

Its not a job for the losing once a man is put in a leadership position. He is either the guy, or he gets traded and shipped off.

You don't have to be the MLB to be a leader. If you move positions it doesn't mean you no longer are a leader.

An 80% Beason isn't going to keep the MLB if Luke is for real. Wait until football starts....Luke's instincts are going to blow some away who haven't watched him

Negative or realistic?

So which is a truer statement. Beason is in a wheel chair or Beason is one of the best LBs in the league.?

Being negative does not automatically make you realistic nor does being positive exclude you from being one either.

Yeah, bc claiming Beason at 80% doesn't make him better than 99% of LBs in the NFL is saying he is wheelchair bound.....

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
