there's still about 9 gazillion dominos to fall in determining draft possibilities, but if teams get QB-crazy thinking the '11 draft wasn't a fluke, the Panthers could be in a good position to nab the #1 player at a position of relative need. have to like those chances.

Is returning from an achilles tear a regular thing? I'm no doctor or trainer and I only ask because we always talk about Davis coming back but Beason is just assumed to be 100%. Is this an injury that usually provides a complete recovery?

Achilles is even worse than an acl. it's actually one of the worst injuries you can have in football. returning to 100% is more or less a pipe dream. if you end up 70-80% you're doing well and there's no guarantee you can even do that.

Well that is really shitty to hear.:(

yeah its very doubtful that beason will be ready to go at the beginning of the season and who knows how he'll do when he finally does come back. and connor is a free agent and will most likely want to go to a place where he has a better shot at starting full time (not to mention money and a better franchise). what we do with that mlb spot is going to be tricky

FML man if Beason can't return to form that sucks big time. He and Davis are the heart and soul of this defense. It's really shitty if the injury bug kills two very promising careers.

well demaryus thomas from denver tore his achilles in february and is already back playing. I think the concern is if they will ever be what they once were..but If anyone has the desire to get back to being the best it is beason.

Now are tendons something that is basically the same for everyone, or would someone in Beason's impressive physical shape have stronger tendon's than the average Joe or even the average athlete? Maybe before they start testing they can keep him on an HGH regiment to strengthen up that sumbitch.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
