He isn't close to the player he was. Sucks but its true. Loyalty to players who can't perform has hurt this franchise.

That injury takes awhile to come back from; he was always going to be Beason-lite this year. Problem now is he has to come back next year healing from new problems.

Prediction on the off season:

1. New GM is hired and likely a new coaching staff.

2. New GM/Coach: "Jon, we'd love to have you back on the team. But this contract isn't feasible for us. We need u to take a pay cut......oh by the way, Luke is the MLB of the future here."

3. Beason: " I'm not gonna take a pay cut to play a position I don't want to play."

4. New GM: "welll Jon, it's been real."

I didn't expect this...Hope Beason gets back to 100%, our defense would have a very serious LB rotation. In addition, it still blows my mind how so many Huddlers want to cut or trade our best players.

There is some reason to it. Look how quickly the old guys have turned on Rivera and co supposedly. It happens in a lot of business when new management takes over. You either buy into what the boss is selling or you are replaced by someone that does. Everyone needs to be on the same page and it seems like the locker room is a little split at the moment.

If we are truly rebuilding, tough cuts/trades are coming and it maybe a long process before we are winning consistently.

And you're suggesting that we rebuild by cutting/trading our best players. That wouldn't be my method. I'd prefer to build on what we have. Getting a dominant WR to compliment Smith, getting a dominant CB to compliment Gamble, getting a dominant S to play S. I'll call it restructing, not rebuilding...

No it's not my suggestion. I just can understand why it is brought up so much. Guess it depends who on the team is there for a paycheck and who is there to win. Seems to be a lot of talk of players that have accepted the it's okay to get paid and lose mentality. Those players need to go. Whoever they maybe.

I don't think Beason is one of them. However, I do think Luke should stay at MLB.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
