Apparently he is playing quite well. It would be nice to see him shine again, even if it's with another team.

 

I only mention this in the Panther's section because it was for a conditional pick. Whatever the conditions were, it looks like Beason might be meeting them. Here's to hoping for a 5th or 6th if he continues to play like this.

"Sometimes perception is not necessarily reality," Beason said. "They made it a story down there, but for me, I'm very confident in who I am. I know what I can do, I know what I've done and you can always bank on that."

 

 

I hear you, Jon.

 

 

Even with a possible 5th or 6th pick, I am calling it now: The Giants got the better of that deal.

If it's a fifth, its a win-win-win.

 

Jon gets to stay a starter, something he has a lot of passion about.

 

Giants get a playmaker they badly need.

 

Panthers get a draft pick, but it doesn't end there. No way would we be giving Beason any sort of large contract now that we have the #1 MLB in the NFL on the team. No one pays a backup big $$$ to sit on a bench, and we know he was lacking in the OLB role. It was best to cut ties with him and wish him the best, saving us future cap in the process.

His performance in NY is not indicative of any kind of potential performance in Carolina because he is playing a different position - the realtiy is that he is an average OLB and potentially a very good to excellent MLB.  It truly is a win-win-win because the Giants got a proven player who may return to playing at a very high level at the cost of a mid-to-late round draft pick, Carolina moved a player who was underperforming at his position compared to the depth and especially compared to his contract, and Beason is back to starting at his natural position that I'm sure he secretly never wanted to move from in the first place.

On paper, and from Jon's perspective, I totally agree. I'm just a little bit sour on the FO right now. I know the jury is still out on a few of our later round picks, but I don't trust our FO to get whatever pick it is for a player with even half the potential of Beast.  But, it's still a win-win situation, regardless of the pick.

      I feel like we are running out of time on dodging this bullet.  It will be us within 5 years or less imo.

      Brother, I don't have a clue about what to watch, Ive been victim to too many "reality TV" scams. Bear Grylls was the last straw for me.... wait a second I did watch early pawn stars for about 6 full seasons. That slop 90 Day Fiance, Temptation Island, and marriage at first sight shows should be banned. Total trash that get insane ratings.  The last series I watched with GREAT joy and excitement was the first Dexter series on showtime. They do not make any TV movie slop for me in the last 20 or so years. New Dexter was a complete joke. Besides having one gem hidden each year, example I liked dune..... but Im a Syfy junkie.  Hell recently Im on the wine mom schedule with murder shows Forensic Files, dateline, any murder shows copies. My TV/movies knowledge is 20 years ago when history channel had Modern Marvels, MTV played music videos, and BET had Comic View. My gods do I miss those days... Plus Im on a terrible Habit with YouTube shorts, I need to do better...... Sucks being a old soul in this era.

      Idk maybe. Guys like Favre, Rodgers, Brees also only having 1 kinda takes the heat off the Colts only getting 1 with Manning. And none of those QBs had to deal with the Pats dynasty or Steelers/Ravens mini-dynasties (no they are not dynasties but both those teams were in the mix pretty much every year in the AFC and both won 2 SBs in Manning’s career). Honestly think if the Manning Colts were in the NFC they’d have won 2-3.   An elite QB is a big deal but you still have to build a team around them. They could’ve been like the Dolphins with Marino.
