Jon Beason carted off field during non contact exercise.

I have a hard time buying the notion that Jon Beason would give anything less than his best.

Back even before Luke Kuechly was on the team, there was a time when Beason played on the outside (it was Dan Connor in the middle). The results weren't as good, but it never looked like Beason was giving any less than his absolute best.

Outside just wasn't the right spot for him, but it was the only spot we had available because Kuechly was just better.

His starting somewhere else in the middle was the best outcome for him (and frankly, for us too).

Don't you also have a hard time buying chase blackburn being a better OLB too?

Cause any spot that's not kicking a ball, beason should be better. RB, SS, TE, DE, OG, etc etc beason should be better than a tryhard undrafted guy. I get he's a better fit as MLB, but the gaints version wouldnt have lost his job and made a great D better.

You're crazy if you think Beason wasn't giving his all at any position or any time when he was with the panthers

I wonder why that was. Does Rivera's MLB play a different way than what Fox's MLB used to? and then is that why when he went to the giants, fox's old squad, Beason excelled again?

Fox's old squad?

There are no remnants of his direct influence in NY, seeing as how he hasn't coached there since 2001

Jon beason barely played his last 3 years as a panther. It's not difficult to out play someone on the bench. In the NFL, a players greatest ability, is availability. Jon stayed injured...therefore, unavailable.

Having watched Beason try to play OLB, no I don't have a hard time buying it at all.
