Panthers LB Jon Beason out for the year with torn Achilles

a bad team gets worse

Damn shame.

Beason's a phenominal player. That said though, if there's one position we can afford to lose a guy its at LB.

doesnt he go down every year?

Beason is a huge hit... but luckily Dan Connor seems able to fill in good enough to not destroy the defense... Beason is prob top 3 young MLB's in the league.... but it won't hurt us as much as say Patrick Willis being out for the year with San Fran, I feel like that would be a huge hit in a weaker LB group

I don't think he goes down as much as Roethlisberger did on Sunday.

Beason hasn't missed a game since he came into the league, 65 consecutive starts.

Your probably thinking of other Panthers LB's, like Thomas Davis (Missed last year) and Dan Morgan, the only human in the world who's made entirely of glass.
