Jon Beason: Would we have been better off?

[PhillyB]

if beason hadn't been injured, sure, it would've been the logical, non-hurney move. luckily this one worked out for us in a very big way.

[csx]

That's exactly who mentioned in the OP. He's the starting LT for the lions. Yes, we would have been better off with him and keeping Beason. This is not a player-player comparison. Our situation would be better. Most GMs would have gone that route having just drafted a franchise QB the year prior.

 

yeah,...no

[Evengelion]

KEEK ALL DAY

You don't get it. This is not a Keuchly-Beason comparison. Would we have been better off having a staring LT right now and Beason on the roster instead of just Keuchly. 2 starting caliber player(one of them being a 3 time pro bowler and still 28 at that time) or just 1?

why did you even bother phrasing this as a question?  i mean it's obvious what you believe.

No way in hell would I take Reif over KEEK!!!!!

 

WORST THREAD OF THE YEAR!

What about Riley Reif and Beason?

I noticed that Saints Report placed a bag of Ramen noodles on the waiver wire. I motion we offer them Eve & a bag of packing peanuts.

If you actually looked at that draft you would see that we should have taken Cordy Glenn over Amini and been better off all around without reaching for an average tackle in the first.

Suppose we had drafted an OT in 2012 instead of Luke Keuchly,

 

 

Stopped reading. Goodbye.

Rather have KEEK and Bell. Seriously.

 

 

Beason + Reif  "don't equal"  2013 Defensive Player of the Year

[Mr. Scot]

This might be the dumbest thing anyone has ever asked.

Looking at who wrote it, that should come as no surprise.

[bleys]

What about Riley Reif and Beason?

 

With his injury history, I wouldn't expect that "AND" to mean much next year.. or have even lasted all of 2013..  You are making a dangerous assumption that you even get Beason for any length of time in this ugly hypothetical scenario..

[SIGCHI222]

And Beason was such a beast this year for NY that they are allowing him to freely test the FA market.
