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.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.

      Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
