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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      This is one of my key concerns lost in the sauce that is the neverending conversation about him evading pressure and the OL. Eventually any QB is going to have to step up into the pocket and show the defense they can still beat them even if they get through. We have a limited QB who cannot consistently do this and as such we are relegated to going back and forth about how successful he was at evading pressure but we have little else to write home about. Tyler Shough stepped up into the pocket and made plays despite being pressured and sacked. He's played in about 35 less games than Bryce Young. That is a problem. And isn't just going to go away. The Bucs are going to do the same thing after watching the film.

      Oh, absolutely! That doesn't absolve the absolute dogshit hockey that the team played in front of him, though. Only Cane that played well tonight was Bradly Nadeau.

      Thanks for illustrating my point.  No one in the last several pages of this discussion is suggesting we should hang on to him, but anytime someone says anything less than "take him out back and shoot him" you act like they are. That's either you not understanding what you're reading or just being a nimrod because you can't keep up. (I would have said 'or just sh-tposting' but you're way too emotional on this topic for that) Either way, the result is the same 😆
