Watching Beason and Co vs the Lions

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

We we're stupid to go for just a 7th round just lol.

 

 

He's back at the MLB so he's doing his usual good stuff. Happy for him.

Gettleman is stupid. We didnt have a hand in it.

[Fox007]

Yes, we did. Like Kurb and various other logical Panther fans reiterated, Beason had zero trade value. Period. New York was desperate enough and took a shot in the dark. Fortunately for The Giants, it worked out.

He's a Mike Linebacker. Not a Strong or Weakside Linebacker. His destiny was riding the bench for the rest of the year, and neither side wanted to see that happen. In a perfect world, he'd still be on this team happily serving his tenure as a back up and mentor to Luke.

 

A 7th rounder for a former top 3 LB who is still under 30 isn't a shot in the dark, it's easy money. At worst its lost change...

 

If they were so desperate we should have turned down that 7th and had him back Luke up for the rest of the season or have them offer more. Then either cut him or get that 7th anyway after the season.

 

 

There is a long list of injured stars who come back and play well and our own TD should remind people that want to devalue Beason b/c of his injury(s).

Injuries?

He had no value

Injuries?

Insurance has plenty of value if something goes wrong.

[General_Purr]

Beason is a great linebacker. Any team would be glad to have someone like him. He's a healthy smarty guy.

[Cj72]

I like Beason a lot but 2 years of injuries and ineffectiveness meant he had no value when traded. What he did in his early years has no effect on that. Throw in the fact that we have Luke and he was gone at the end of the year anyway for nothing.

[Kevin Greene]

Injuries?

He had no value

 

 

Exactly.

Previous to arriving in NY Beason had a total of 19 tackles in 2 years in the NFL with the Panthers.

Clearly Luke is a better player today than 52 and I believe Gettlemen felt 52 may have been a problem in the locker room as the once proud warrior wanted to start. I like today's Panther locker room, everyone is pulling on the rope in the same direction.

He's done OK in NY with 1 INT this year and 1 PD with ~ 60 tackles.

 

But I saw Luke and TD dominate out there today and I'm good with Beason being a Giant.

Hope he continues to do well, but he's in the rear view.

People complaining here are likely the same ones that got mad at mom when she gave away their Star Wars Millennium Falcon Special Collector's Edition to Goodwill after it sat in the back of the closet broken down and neglected for the better part of a decade.

 

"But Mom, it was worth a fortune!"

 

Mom:  "Hush dear and eat your peas."

[Jackofalltrades]

He would be starting over blackburn if he was still here, right?

No, doubt he'd beat out Klein.

[Udogg]

Couldn't have said it better. 

 

19 tackles in 2 years .

Lots of injuries

Basically last year of deal

On the bench.

 

What says 3rd round draft pick?  It's crazy if you take off the homer glasses.  If he had 3 years left on his deal with a reasonable cap number then maybe you have a leg to stand on.

 

The people who say we could have gotten more for Beason especially when everyone and their mother knew he was going to be cut at the end of the season anyway are the same people who keep comic books for 20 years and are shocked when they aren't worth anything.  Probably have the classic car on bricks in the front yard with no engine slowly rusting talking about the million dollars they want for it.  Frickin hoarder mentality.

[pantherclaw]

Bitches gonna bitch.

[csx]

We are on track to win the division and our loser fans are whining about the trade we made 3 months ago to get rid of an overpaid second stringer. Only on the huddle....lol

[fieryprophet]

For the lasts time when he was traded beason had no value"

 

Just give it up Kurb, imbeciles with no concept of market-based trade values will continue to be imbeciles with no concept of market-based trade value.

 

Yes, Beason is better than a 7th rounder.

 

No one was offering more than 7th rounder.

 

He's worth less than 7th rounder when he's on the bench or playing OLB poorly since it is not his natural position.

 

So we took a 7th rounder.

 

For God's sake, what is so difficult for people to understand about this?

 

[panthersphan]

Beason still deserves love on this board

Agreed. Certainly not a Giants fan at all, but will always be a Beason fan ...

Will just always wonder if he could've panned out as an OLB for us, 52-59-58 just seems like an unstoppable force.
