Dhani Jones ranks Beason ninth best linebacker in yet another list

[panthers55]

Sorry folks, this seems like the only new stuff out there pending Tuesday's meeting. Things are really slow. Anyway, Jones ranked his top 10 linebackers and Beason was ninth. Of course Jones ranked himself the seventh best so maybe it is not that great.

Did not even know Jones still played in the NFL.

Still better than the garbage Lamarr Woodley made up.

Looks like he ranked Beason 10th and London Fletcher 9th.....

I like Jones' personality, but to say he is better than Beason is crazy talk. Homer opinion? Maybe, but I just dont see his skill surpassing JB.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Bleh.

lol how the fug is Urlacher not on that list?

idiot

Beason is in top 5 easily and is probably #1 underrated, which constantly gets shoved in his face by idiot by remarks like these and fake pro bowl bullpoo. I hope this fuels him to become the next Ray Lewis.

Sorry bro but Fletcher is one of the best linebackers to play the game. He is highly underrrated due to the fact that he's played on some pretty rotten teams over the years. He hasn't missed a game in his entire NFL career. And i believe since he joined the NFL he leads the league in tackles (1,244) having more than Ray Lewis.

Well I have Dhani Jones top five in my "dudes who have been arrested for dancing" list.

I feel like most people judge linebacker's on sack's like they do defensive end's, which is truly unfair due to the fact that not ever linebacker plays in a 3-4 defense and sees their stats inflated because they have holes the size of the Grand Canyon to run through to make the sack. I personally think tackles and passes defended are the stats to look at for a linebacker because it shows their ability to stop the run (most of their tackle's come from stopping the run) and passes defended (shows their ability to play the pass).

Here is where Beason ranks among linebackers in those categories since he has been in the NFL.

2007

Tackle's- 3rd

Passes Defended- 19th

2008

Tackle's- 3rd

Passes Defended- 4th

2009

Tackle's- 4th

Passes Defended- 4th

2010

Tackle's- 13th

Passes Defended- 8th

I don't see how this guy is not considered a top 5 linebacker in the NFL, it's just mind boggling.

Eh, he's the Jessie Tuggle of his generation. Take that how you will.

And for a linebacker, Dhani Jones is a decent photographer. That's about all I can say for that.

Dhani Jones is better at his Travel Channel show than playing linebacker...hell most the time on his show he got the dog piss beat out of him. I like him because he is a good personality on TV..thats about it.

Beason is going to have a break out year this year and that's saying something, at least to the rest of the country.

No, I should have worded that differently, I meant Dhani Jones himself.
