Why was Beason moved to the Outside?

[SnarkAttack]

Yea, I think Beason is a top LB for sure and people laugh when I say he's even a top 3.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to mention Derrick Brooks here with the type of player he was but Beason has potential to do some things for sure.

Why not trade for a LB?

People laugh when you say that? That's not really something that's funny, per se, and what do you do, walk around Tampa Bay sparking conversations about the best linebackers in the league? I'm pretty sure you could go to any message board of any team and not risk getting "laughed at" for saying a 2-time Pro Bowler is one of the best LBs in the league....

we kind of did in jamar williams but that didn't turn out so well...at least not yet anyway. davis is supposed to be back in november. not really any need to do much more at LB with the starters. connor does well enough in the middle.

I'm pretty sure Beason still has the green-dot helmet even though he's WLB.

yep. connor makes the pre-snap adjustments.

connor makes the pre-snap adjustments.

Beason has security council veto power though.

Connor has possibly been our best LB...If not he is easily the most reliable.

Anderson has been a highlight reel but also made the most mistakes and been taken advantage of. Beason has been a demon in the passing game but cant seem to make game changing plays.

Connor is so aggressive in getting to the ball carrier, its been a while since I have seen one of our LBs in the backfield so much. Its a shame Beason is getting 'overshadowed' but the only way to improve the starting three is to bring in Davis.

So Dan Conner could get credit for doing nothing in the middle.

All three of our current starting linebackers -- Anderson, Connor and Beason -- have been playing lights out. If there's currently a strength on this team, they are it.

[countryboi]

they were trying to get their best LBs on the field....i think moving a pro bowler position is freaking retarded but i can see why they did i just wouldnt have done it that way

Is there anything about the panthers you do like? Why even bother posting?
