I’m feeling a lot better by the day, I’m encouraged by how I feel right now. For me it’s all about getting back on the field. The crazy part is, even though Week 1 isn’t the Super Bowl, or the playoffs, of a game for the division title, I want to play, and I’d be willing to suck it up.

But this is a long season, and I have to make sure I’m healthy for the long haul.

Setting the example

by ‘sucking it up’.

We are very lucky we grabbed him

Beason is fast becoming my favorite Panther.

Get healthy Jon!

We need you in top “Beaston” form for the regular season!

Mel Kiper: “Obviously John Fox sees something he likes, but I think this is too early for Beason. He had a solid career at Miami, but I don’t see his game translating to the next level like a Patrick Willis. I projected him as a late 2nd, early 3rd round pick. This fills a need, but too early for Beason”

I think 99% of Panther fans would agree that Beason was the best LB from that draft. The media can dote on Willis all they want, but Beason is the better player.

Comparable talents...

maybe.

But I wouldnt go as far as to say he is a better player.

Willis is sick.

I think both are great and wouldn't mind having either one on the Panthers.

Willis is an exceptional athlete, while Beason is an exceptional leader with elite instincts.

Willis is great, no doubt

But his numbers are overblown because there is a severe lack of playmakers on the 49ers. Beason is a far superior leader and has all the physical tools.

In review, I should have followed my comment with a solid ‘In my opinion’.

This debate will continue throughout their careers

But after Rucker and Minter left, we really needed a leader on defense. Beason has welcomed that role.

I hate to be a stat boy but through 2 season, Willis’ numbers are slightly better. Plus, he plays for SF & they really dont have anyone else on D that stands out. I respect Willis alot, I watched him at Ole Miss & saw how dominant he can be. I never saw Beason at Miami, but he has stepped up & shown great leadership skills. I didnt like his comment about needing to have a big DT to take up most of the blocks for him so he can make plays. If he was truely a “beast” he wouldnt say something like that.

He was just stating the obvious

Everyone was aleady thinking it. And its not like basketball where a star player can carry a team… every position requires another position to be solid.
