...a man coming off three ACL injuries is more athletic than an All-Pro linebacker who for the majority of his career was considered the only man that could hold a candle to Patrick Willis at the ILB position?

Thomas Davis is a smart and savy player, he doesn't make boneheaded mistakes, has a high football IQ, is very passionate, and a hard worker. That is what Thomas Davis has going for him, Beason however has all the tools to still be one of the best linebackers in the league.

Yes. TD is more athletic than JB and always has been.

That doesn't necessarily mean he's better, just more athletic.

Actually, I coach football

Are you really going there? Do I watch football? You clearly do not, a man coming off three ACL injuries is more athletic than an All-Pro linebacker who for the majority of his career was considered the only man that could hold a candle to Patrick Willis at the ILB position?

Beason the only man who can hold a candle to Patrick Willis?

Let's not forget about

Ray Lewis

Brian Urlachler

Karlos Dansby

Navorro Bowman

James Laurinitis

David Harris

Also Luke Kuechly is better then Beason.

Pretty sure Beason even commented on Davis being a freak athletically and able to do things he couldn't when he went down and Beason tried to replace him at OLB a couple years ago.

Beason is well rounded. He is jacked up....but not overly athletic. I'd say Beason's brains actually make up for things.

And if he do want to restructure, trade him anyway right?

I don't know....

Not a fan of continuing hoping guys plagued by injuries can be counted on. I don't want us counting on TD AND Beason going forward.

Also, we need to find a natural pass rusher IMO to play with Luke and that isn't Beason or Anderson

Oh how quickly people forget about Beason (it has only been two years since he was top 5 linebacker), if Beason returns to full strength, you can bet we will be revisiting this thread.

Life in the NFL.....short windows. At most positions the top 5 is a revolving list. Maybe 2 or 3 stay in the top for a several years but it is a fluid list.

Injuries suck. But they are reality...future is now Luke.

Coming into the NFL....Luke had better potential than when Beason did. It is playing out that way. That isn't a knock on Beason

We can't afford to do it with everything else we have thanks to Hurney....

But we need to move away from Beason, Davis and Anderson. Bring in a new era to surround Luke. His D. We could also use a nice pass rusher at LB to compliment Luke. Too much money and too many injuries with the old bunch..

I could possibly see doing away with Beason and Anderson. You wouldn't want to keep Davis, though? I don't think Davis would cost too much, and he's a great LB that can rush the passer.

Beason was a running back before he was converted to linebacker, thats pretty athletic to me, Davis may be more athletic but Beason has the ability to play all three LB positions, and pretty well at that which makes him just as unique. Also for as long as he has been in the league he has had a better career thus far when comparing him and TDs first couple of years and TD was a top 15 pick.

Please, lets not go the whole "downplay a great player just because the other player is even better" routine it isnt much difference between them when everything is added up. Davis got hurt before it was time for his pay day, Beason got hurt after his. So it kinda forces you to look at one in a good way and the other in a bad way. Beason will get healthy and be back to his old self soon.

Future is definitely Luke, but if Beason would want to stay at the right price I'd love to knock Anderson out in favor of Beason. Hell TD may only have two seasons left in the league anyway, so why not just hold on to what you got if you can manage to keep them at the right price.

I see most people on the forum can't tell the difference between hard work and athleticism.

Beason is an athletic freak. The video he posted during the offseason was absurd. The dude is a machine.

Read some before you type, TD is a man who after 3 ACL tears still runs a 4.5 40 yard dash, which is better than what Beason ran at his best when he was 22!

Davis can run faster jump higher and rebound faster he is far and away a better athlete look back to when we moved Jon to the outside the second time and you will see BEASON himself will admit this.

The video that your speaking of is pretty relevant considering the low level of play Beason exhibited in his return.

The video itself was there more for show, but fans tend to take things the wrong way anyway. Any who, I still believe a healthier Jon Beason is better than a healthier Thomas Davis.

I never said a healthy Jon Beason isn't better than TD in fact no one did, I said Davis is a better athlete not a better player.

You are a perfect example of fans taking things the wrong way.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By frankw · Posted

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
