Untrue, this is a horrific trade. Beason for a late round pick is nuts and to me is GMan showing favoritism to Gmen.

 

We just made a position of great strength one of weakness with minimal depth.

 

let's not derail the thread. save that discussion for one of the other threads talking about the trade.

I love ya Jon Beason.

You were one of the best while you played here.

You were the heart and soul of the Panther defense.

Your heart and passion for the game is really unmatched.

I loved watching you play.

I pray for nothing but the best for you, wherever you go.

Thanks for the memories.

Great while it lasted, and you never gave anything less than your all.

Sad it didn't end better, but plenty of good memories remain from your time here.

Thanks for being a great player and one of the good guys. Best wishes on your future.

 

 

The thread with 800 posts wasn't sufficient?

one of my favorite memories of jon was his intercepting aaron rodgers on the comeback drive during that nailbiter in green bay back in 2008.

i hope he flourishes in NY.

I remember that.

Also fondly remember him picking off Josh Freeman in the red zone when we played the Bucs in Freeman's rookie year. In all we picked him like five times that day, but if I remember correctly, Beason got him first.

big moment i remember was that fight between smitty and lucas.

 

beason was in his second training camp at that point.

 

i remember looking across the field trying to figure out what was going on over there and realzing that it was smitty fighting with someone (i knew that smith was following lucas back to the defensive side of the fied running his mouth, but it didn't dawn on me that it was lucas that smith was pummeling).

 

anyway....beason, even though he was the "new guy" he got right in the middle of it and pulled smith off of lucas and tried to make things calm. iirc, beason didn't just happen to be at the right place at the right time. i think he was just aware and was able to respond quicker than others and get where he could help.

 

i think it was at that moment that i realized that he wasn't just another player. i might have been reading too much into that one moment, but i just came away from that whole experience respecting him. from then on i really appreciated what he brought to the team, not just in terms of talent, but presence and leadership.

 

he always did what needed to be done at the right moment, on or off the field with the team. he stepped up with courage when he needed to and then stepped aside with grace when that was needed to make way for kuechly.

 

i know i said it before, but i'll always appreciate what he brought and the legacy he leaves and i'm positive the guys in that lockerroom will feel the same way.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
