Anyone who thinks this poses the slightest threat to his career needs to throw their medical books away. They're about 20 years out of date.

The article on PFT said that full ruptures usually don't require an MRI to tell because they're so obvious. Also said that the MRI could be a good sign that it's only a partial tear.

At any rate, he will be back. This is Beason we're talking about here; all this 'he's done' bullpoo needs to stop. He's coming back. I'd bet anything on it.

Most big tendons will just bunch up around the site so that is a valid point. Still they prob did one anyway.

glad we kept Conner LOL

Yet people still can't get it right...:hurray:

It was Beason's call.

Training staff can only ask how he feels.

He knew the risks.

If anyone can get back, he can.

When you pay someone his kind of money it shouldn't be his call.

Beason is a beast, he'd play through just about anything, doesn't mean we should let him. Someone on that staff needs to be fired. This isn't an isolated incident. I obviously don't enough details to really back up the statement but that is how it looks from the outside.

How do you make the judgment without taking what Beason would say into account? Hard to say, don't have the answer for that either. Maybe X-rays? Not sure but like said before does this happen multiple times on each team, something tells me not as much.

From what I heard it is if it was going to tear It didn't matter when he came back it was going to happen sooner or later. It just happened sooner.

I couldn't agree more.

When are people going to realize that sports medicine, and normal medicine, is light years ahead of what it was.

There was a time when Tommy John surgery was considered a career-ender for pitchers... Stephen Strausberg came back in less than a year, throwing the same velocity.

Hopefully his rehab goes well.

I have to say though, this is probably the best season for this to happen in. This will give our other young linebackers a chance to really grow up. Not to mention Godfrey and Martin will likely be needed to step up and hopefully it helps them grow.

If anyone can recover from something like this, it will be Beason.

Funny he blew it up chasing after an ex Panther.

Get well Jon

worst news all day

At least you didn't find out you're a father today.

Joking.

What? what are u talkin about he is done for the season, he is not comin back till next year regardless. Im speaking in terms of i hope Dan Connor comes in and plays well so he will be a hot commodity next year and we can get something for him (hopefully), its his last contract year, Connor is gone after this season. Realistically, if there was ever a time for this to happen its now, Beasons Achilles has been bothering him for the longest hopefully when he comes back it will be the healthiest he has ever been, next year when the team is further along and looking to make a serious playoff push. I wont him to be healthy for long term as much as possible.

He is talking about next year. With a partial tear it is easier to fully recover but its not gaurenteed 100% With a full tear your chances of fully recovering deminish drastically although it can still be done. In both scenarios as you pointed out his season is donezo.

A full tear is pretty much the worst injury you can get when you play a sport where you put that much torque on your ankles (only thing worse would be a broken Vertabrae).

---Can somebody call Greg Frye's Agent? I hear the Panthers cut him in the off season =)

[pantherclaw]

this falls clearly on rivera, he knew Beason wasn't fully recovered from injury, but he let beason talk him into playing. it was a risk, and they both lost. Personally, I would have like managment to stick with their guns and not clear beason to play until they felt he had conditioned himself enough to get back on the field.

the coach doesn't clear him to play.

That's the training staff. You wouldn't use your best MLB if he was cleared to play? Would'nt want his leadership and passion on the field? Don't second guess it, the training staff cleared him to play. He played.

Who takes over the defensive play-calling now? Godfrey or TD?

I think it's gotta be TD. He's the leader of that defense now.
