Anybody a little concerned with Beason?

[Cary Kollins]

Yeah I'm worried about Beason because the last time he was on the field he was a shell of his former self.

 

Stewart?  I'm not worried about him at all.

I'm not worried for the team bc we have depth, but I'm worried for Beason's career. Class act and I'm pulling for him, but signs aren't looking good.

My concern is that he is okay to play but only a shell of his previous self, yet we keep playing him when others might be playing better. That will be a tough call.

I still believe in the beast but, am I worried? no... We have Blackburn and Klein.

and we had a top 10 D without any of those three last year.

Yes, I am concerned about Beason.  I would be thrilled to see the 'old Beason' this season.  When healthy, he was a difference maker.  But he has not played good football in a very long time, and has had to deal with some very serious injuries. 

 

Anything is possible, but hopefully the 'backups' are ready to be the starters.  I think RG should be a bigger concern for the Panthers than LB because I think they have a contingency plan in place in case Beason is not the same guy.

Done worrying about Beason. Until he does something to back up his talk. I have written him off. In the mean time, Klien, Blackburn, Senn, Davis, Wililams, and who ever else is there will have to step up. Davis and Kuechly is a lock.

I was....

That is why I wanted Luke.

Pie for being smarter than 98% of the huddle.

Long term yes, but we have enough depth at LB for him to take his time. It's still August.

Neither Blackburn or Klein back up Beason. 

[CRA]

Neither Blackburn or Klein back up Beason.

Beason was already flat out replaced.

He basically is our WLB bc of a fat contract.....he isn't even the best WLB we could put on the field. A healthy Davis IMO is a better WLB

[Jakob]

Neither Blackburn or Klein back up Beason. 

Blackburn and Klein can play all 3 positions.

[Mvp2014]

Very worried. Suggs was back in 6 months. Why is Beast not playing?

[pepaw]

I may be concerned with our training staff in general.
