Jon Beason: Then And Now

[Mage]

Like I said, we won't really know until gametime. TD looked to be his normal self after two tears and then BAM.

To be fair, Davis was playing well. Not how good he was in 2009 of course but still fine. He's just injury prone at this point.

[SN03]

I'm not worried about Beason or Davis. The doctors who are involved with their situation say they will both make full recoveries. I tend to believe they have more knowledge than the mass # of surgeons & physicians on this board. Beason rushed back too soon last year & Davis has just had bad luck. I expect them both to be 100% by week 1.

I can subscribe to this rationale. TD had a different type of ACL repair this time around, so hopefully it holds up better. His time will be spent coming off the bench as well, so hopefully that will help as well. Beast is a beast. No further comments necessary.

Find a doctor that says a guy with 3 ACL tears has good odds of playing a NFL season. Human body isn't built to deal with what some of these guys put there body through...

Why? The Panthers & Davis already found several.

[Snake]

A lot of players don't lose any speed with injuries anymore because of advances in surgery and PT.

[Ivan The Awesome]

It definitely looks like he bulked up since the last video.

[CRA]

No they haven't.

That is why Carolina knows and put out the stat know one has ever successfully comeback from that many ACL injuries and they drafted a LB who already is named the WLB starter.

Claiming you can fix an ACL is different from claiming someone has good odds going through a NFL season on it

Straight line speed generally isn't the worry. Cutting and directional change are more of the worry...

[La Pantera]

I hope TD can come back healthy( wouldn't bet 5$ on it though). I think he will,because we drafted what looks to be his replacement and that's how sh*t works for the panthers. We'll have four high paid LBs in a 4-3 D and wondering how to get our moneys worth out of all four.

[Argus Plexus]

My father had a full ACL replacement, I know what it entails. The first doctor he went to wanted to do the surgery the week he got hurt, but thankfully he decided to get a second opinion. The other doctor put him through months of PT before doing the surgery to get all the swelling out and get his knee and the surrounding tissues how he wanted them. They replaced the ACL orthoscopically with a donor achilles tendon, which is way bigger and tougher than an ACL, and secured it with bio-absorbable ceramic screws. A year later, its like it never happened. In fact, his repaired knee was stronger than his natural one a year later. Now several years later you can barely even see the scars. I know someone who had the same surgery with the hack that wanted to fix my Dad's knee the week it got hurt, and she's still fu*ked up to this day, can't walk right cause the replacement tissue is loose cause he didn't wait for all the swelling to go away and he didn't prepare the knee ligaments and tendons and muscles to bear the strain, etc. You understand what I'm saying now, that's why TD's knee keeps getting fu*ked up. An ACL replacement takes almost 2 years from injury to get back to 100%, these athletes try to come back too fast and they sometimes pay for it.

[L-TownCat]

He's still a beast. Wouldn't want anybody else.

[charlottenian]

I pity the RB trying getting hit by the Beast.... I just wish we had 700lbs of interior beef to keep Beason free and looking to deliver bad intent

This is what I'm talking about. Players routinely come back from major injuries with 100% range of motion and speed. Just as strong as the tendon or ligament was prior to the injury. That is if they can recover from it at all.
