NFL.com Article on Jon Beason

[DFive]

Panthers are getting lots of press lately but this article is about Jon Beason and IF he can come back off his torn Achilles injury. They called him the man with the most pressure on our team because of Luke being drafted at his same position. Discuss...

K Ill start. Now way in fuggin hell the Luke ever "replaces" Beason unless he has a career ending injury.

Well if he doesn't return as the elite player we know him to be, then wouldn't you say his prior injury has certainly been a detriment to his career?

I don't think that's the case at all, though. Beason's hard work, determination, and football smarts will certainly allow him to come back from this injury. Maybe he won't always be 100%, but even a 90% Jon Beason is better than 99% of the NFL's MLBs.

Beason means more to this team than Thomas Davis ever did and he's been given every chance in the world.

Loving the 49er fans trash talking at the bottom of the article. Beast is back.

Luke is a top 10 pick. If he pans out and Beason never returns to what he was....he will replace Beason.

No he isn't

look at how average he looked when asked to make a position change a couple years ago and get out of his routine. Lower a health % and it impacts a players instincts.

Leadership and communicating has alrready been deemed has necessary components to his positon by Rivera. If he returns at 80% he will still be our starting MLB.

An 80% Beason could start off the year but won't keep the job long playing at 80%.

Which is why Luke is learning the MLB spot. Beason is also learning....he doesn't have a lot of experience playing in this scheme either. He has an NFL edge...but not the edge of playing in a scheme for years

Its not a job for the losing once a man is put in a leadership position. He is either the guy, or he gets traded and shipped off.

We have to wait and see how he performs but Jon Beason IS our Defense. His mentality and passion and intensity cannot just be replaced. I was confused when we drafted him but that just proved to myself that I'm not employed by the NFL for a reason.

I can only hope Beast is at least 90%. His leadership will still be there, but his athleticism that he brings to the position won't be found elsewhere.
