I am still going........

[Keep Pounding]

To rock my Beason jersey when I go to the 49ers vs Panthers this year.

 

Beason was one of my favorite Panthers, that will never change, I dont care what team he plays for.

 

I hope Jon Beason bounces back and becomes the great MLB that he still is IMO.....

 

Good Luck to you Beast in NY.....

I don't understand this consideration

It's not like he rae carruthed his way off the team

Yeah, wearing a Beason jersey is not an issue, but let's get down to what really matters:  Why do you have a framed Starbucks menu on your wall?

Seen a few post and comments about buying new jerseys because Beason is gone.  That is why

[fieryprophet]

He's not leaving, he's just visiting for a couple of seasons.

You know what this sucks. First round pick traded away for a dude that's not even going to make the team next year.

My lady had a sorority sister that use to work there while they were in college.  It was a graduation gift.  One that I would love to take of the wall and burn it, but it would deeply upset my lady who likes to hoard useless poo.

 

BTW, I hate Starbucks.

just being sarcastic.

 

 

We are not trading the all-pro version of Jon Beason.  We are trading the 4 games played the past two season Jon Beason.  The "may not ever be a starter in the NFL again" Jon Beason.  The free agent after this season Jon Beason.

 

 

Not 1st round pick Jon Beason.

I'm not saying the guy is playing the best he ever has.  But if he makes it through this year unscathed by injury, by late season he might be making a return to form.  Hell even if he got back to form 80 percent it's still more valuable then a 7th rounder.  Yes he would have been a FA next year, but wouldn't not have demanded a high contract.   If we could just held onto him, he could have been more valuable as depth then any late round pick could have been.

Fair points, but in the end this is best for Beason.  He gets a chance to be a starting MLB again.  That was not happening here.

I know you're a long time poster on this board.  I know that you give thoughtful responses.  I truly do empathize with wanting whats best for players that have sacrificed a lot for the Panther's organization.  But really what would have been best for Jon was to be depth this year, get some game reps, and not have to deal with the pressure.  Play while getting healthy and returning to form.   I'm not sure if you're an ex athlete or not.  But what I have found is that it takes some time to get back into the swing of things after serious injury, but can be done and really will be done with commitment and patience.  Hell....look at Thomas Davis....what if we would have traded him for a 7th round pick a year ago.  Glad we didn't. Obviously the Giants made the trade because they want JB to start at MLB.  But if that's what they want from Jon they could have given us more then a 7th.  Regardless of an emotional point of view involved Rivera and Gettleman had a responsibility to get the best deal and if the deal wasn't good enough they should have told the G's to poo off. This was not the best deal.
