Further proof that Beason is the type of leader we need


Recommended Posts

Because it's not the same for the veterans anymore. The NFL doesn't need us. In this NFL, the old vets don't factor in. The kids don't listen to nobody. Nobody!

When I saw this, the first thing that flashed in my mind was a quote (and I can't seem to find it) from Beason from one of the first team activities. A reporter asked him what this defense would be like without Peppers, and his eyes got wide and he just said "Young."

A very different perspective on the power of the veteran than what is found in that article.

Buc was kind of talking about this today on the radio, though I think it was in the context of the NBA. So much emphasis is place on speed and athleticism that kids coming into the league think that's what it's all about. The flashy players get paid but the solid, smart players win games. Sadly, there's probably nothing that can change it other than the fans just not liking great athletes.

Some starting LB will go down in Camp and the D. Brooks cell phone will be ringing constantly.

Sad thing is the know-it-alls, DON'T. B. Ruud had the idea but he is a minority.

Look what Vinny Testeverde did for D. Williams. Though two seperate positions Vinny was able to teach D. Will how to prepare who now is showing J. Stewart.

This is the main reason why a rookie salary cap is needed. All the money is going to the unproven guys, while players you know can still get it done are at home until they are needed. If the NFL really cares about their vets they will get something done. So the vets like Brooks can play until they feel they can't anymore. And yet the Favres of the world get slurped on year after year. :confused: Who would you want on your team right now? I'd take a class act like Brooks any day!

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
