Face of the franchise?

Just wondering who you all consider to be the face of the Panther’s ?

It think Peppers is/was our most noticeable player from both stand points of here and across the league. With the likely possibility that he will be leaving here within in the next year, who would you like to see be the face of the franchise.

I see that many fans, myself included are really starting to put all hopes on Jon Beason.

We could also argue for Smith, for I think he is hands down the best player we have on our roster. Although in my humble opinion I don’t look at Smith as a team leader to the face of the franchise. No disrespect to Steve at all, for he is a top 3 receiver in my book and has meant so much for all football team. Talent, effort, and as competitive as they come Steve only lacks a bit in the character department.

Beason’s talent, commitment and heart were all clearly displayed last year on the playing field, but what really stands out to me is his character. I so looked forward to hearing him every week on WFNZ. Beason is so genuine, polite and respectful to all his peers. He does not have a ballooned ego and remains humble. To me when a player of his caliber shows all those qualities – that’s a player the franchise can truly be proud of.

Yeah Beason by far. He took over the team last year and now it's his. And a lot of the sports media have noticed it too. He is going to blow up this year as far as coverage goes. Everybody will know who he is and that he plays for the Panthers.

I'm going with DeAngelo Williams... he was the one making the majority of the highlights for your team and is the true bright spot to the Panthers.

Beason is a top 3 MLB in the leauge though, he just doesn't get the Ray Lewis type of exposure. DeAngelo did some amazing things and offensive guys always get the exposure (his multiple 4 touchdown games)

Beason IMO is better then Ray or Urlacher.

Ray's main advantage is having Ed Reed behind him and a stout dline infront of him... I think the Ravens will take a drop in defense this year.

Is Beason a vocal guy?

Talent wise, he's 2nd best behind Pat Willis at the MLB spot.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
