Beason played the weak side ok, but he is stellar in the middle. Kuechly is just a very solidfootball player. He will flourish regardless of weak or middle. I think he will end up better than Beason, but because he is so athletic and injury free he will be best served as our weak side backer. Kuechly's coverage skills will strengthen our LB corps from the weak side. I find it funny how analyst forget just good Beason was in coverage. Anderson should start over Davis because of his durability. He isn't an All Pro backer but he is solid. In my opinion, Davis should be better served as a spark and on third and long replacing Anderson. Kuechly Beason & Davis on third down against this quarterback happy conference would be pretty amazing. They would really help our secondary underneath.

I think our base 4-3 will be Kuechly - Beason - Anderson. Though with Beason still recovering from injury I could see Luke sliding over and playing some Mike and Davis coming in and sharing time with Beason. That is of course if Beason needs to take some plays off. Actually, it might be smarter to play Luke at Mike and let Beason and Davis rotate at Will.

Beason was only okay at OLB bc he moved there at the last minute....freelanced and wasnt comfortable.

Beason can play OLB at a high level if prepped properly. Plus Beason probably needs to be protected from himself....he and TD rotating at WLB could be smart early.

I can't imagine a scenario where a rookie earns the MLB spot away from one of the top 5 MLBs in the game. If Kuechly ends up inside, it likely won't be for that reason, but because he couldn't hack it at OLB yet and needed to be put in his comfort zone rather than trying to cover NFL level TEs and WRs.

All of this would be valid if Beason was 100% healthy. The reality is, he isn't, and that is why it makes more sense to put Luke in the middle.

Well, why is it so easy to imagine a team selecting one of the best MLB prospects in the last decade.....and not playing him at MLB?

Luke has the skill set to project to be better than Beason at MLB. Luke is the ideal MLB candidate....Beason moving to OLB isn't a knock on him.

Claiming the only way Luke plays MLB is bc he sucks at OLB.... I leaves out a lot on rational thoughts about the LB spot in Carolina

I look at it this way. Most everyone can agree Beason is a top 5 MLB ( top 2 IMO) and Kuechly has the "potential" to be a to in the top 5.

Now as far as the outside position goes, Kuechly has the "potential" to be a top 5 guy. While I think Beason falls out of that category.

IMO Kuechly as the WILL and Beason as the MIKE would be getting the best out of both players.

Who would you rather have in coverage,on Jimmy Graham? Beason or Kuechly?

Davis hurt his leg early I'm camp. Beason had plenty of time to learn the position...its really no different now, if he's been playin MIKE through out OTAs and mini-camp then they decide to switch him early on in TC. Beason just isn't the same player at WLB and that's not a knock on him. I actually think Davis (when healthy) is better WLB than Beason could be.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
