Anybody a little concerned with Beason?

I'm very hopeful for his return and all the contributions he can make, because I still believe in Beaston.

 

He needs some serious contact and participation in full pads and game time though. To get back into game shape, it's important to get these real time reps, and well he's not really getting them. I'm not at all implying he won't do good and can't but anybody else thought he should be back to full by now and at least making some contact plays? It makes me just a little nervous. 

 

 

What are your thoughts Huddle?

Concerned, but not really worried.

Beason himself said that he probably won't play in a preseason game (however he wouldn't rule anything out), but the goal is to be ready for Seattle.

I know that a lot of that is just Beason telling. The fans what they want to hear, but I have no reason to doubt him

If it happens that he isn't ready for season, Blackburn, Klein, Senn, and Williams should be able to cover for him until he gets back.

I'm worried about Beason's career. Micro-fracture surgery is not something to be taken likely and the success rate is mighty low compared to that  of a mensicus surgery, ACL recontruction, or a Rotator Cuff surgery.

 

Basically the cartilage on the end of his femur or knee has deteriorated over the course of his career and the constant impact of "bone on bone" from running, jumping, etc started to cause his micro-fracture injury. The bad thing is that cartilage does not repair itself very well and once its damage its practically done for, so surgeons had to actually damage or re-injury the area by drilling tiny holes into his femur so that it would bleed, clot and kind of give Beason's knee a band-aid so to speak just to cushion the area.

 

This new clot is not very durable and many people that play high intensity sports play with pain for the rest of their careers. But there have been some notable NFL players to return from this surgery like Kellen Winslow Jr., he actually had his best career as far as statistics are concerned that year.

 

So I'm not as worried about the Panthers linebacker situation if he is not able to return, as much as I am worried about Beason's career as a linebacker. Because he is a great guy and great competitor, and when healthy he was amazing.

I'm with the OP on this one.  It is a bit conerning not seeing beason practice or get any playing time in the preseason.  When he came back last year I know he wasn't fully recovered but he wasn't making plays the way he used too, and I think other than being 100% to be able to make those plays he missed on (tackles, int that went just over his head) he needs real playing time to get used to being able to make those plays I just hope that when he comes back he still isnt trying to shake off the rust like last year (I think it's going to be more of the beason we saw last year until he gets some games under his belt) who truly knows though all speculation at this point.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
