NFL.com Article on Jon Beason


DFive

Recommended Posts

People on this site talk about Beason and Davis like they are the two best linebackers that ever played the game. In the NFL it is all about what have you done for me lately. Hopefully Beason comes back 100% but you cant put someone out on the field in a wheelchair just because they are a good leader.

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.

I agree 100%

If Beason is 100% he should play the middle. If he is 85% he could play outside. If he is less than that he will play perhaps first and second down but not third if at all until he is ready.

Sure everyone would love to have him starting but don't fool yourself, Beason at 80% is not better than most linebackers in the league. In fact he might not be better than all but a few of them at that point if he is only 80%. Beason came in as a rookie and played at a high level right off the bat. Kuechly is faster, stronger and has better instincts as a rookie than Beason did as a rookie so if he is called into duty there is no reason to think he will struggle either. Would I like Beason to help teach Kuechly the ropes and watch them play together?? Of course, but only if Beason is healthy. Why rush him back like he did to himself last year when I think that contributed to his Achilles injury and could cause a re-injury.

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.

You don't have to be the MLB to be a leader. If you move positions it doesn't mean you no longer are a leader.

An 80% Beason isn't going to keep the MLB if Luke is for real. Wait until football starts....Luke's instincts are going to blow some away who haven't watched him

Negative or realistic?

So which is a truer statement. Beason is in a wheel chair or Beason is one of the best LBs in the league.?

Being negative does not automatically make you realistic nor does being positive exclude you from being one either.

Yeah, bc claiming Beason at 80% doesn't make him better than 99% of LBs in the NFL is saying he is wheelchair bound.....
