Would Justin Fields have worn #1 if he was selected by Carolina?

[micnificent28]

Didn't someone else want number 1 and Tepper denied their request because that number is reserved for cam? Don't see why it wouldn't be any different for the rook even if he was a first round pick. Those who have yet to achieve have no right to take away from the accomplishments of those who have already walked the walk.

Retire #1, #89, #58, and #59 already 

at that rate we won’t have enough numbers to field a team in the not so near future

no. Sam Mills is the only number that should be retired and wouldn’t you know it’s the only number that is. it should be kept sacred, not for just fan favorites 

I like high standards, the panthers have yet to have a truly long term defining HOF franchise player to do this. none of those are it. 

wasn't drafted because of a jersey number? stans defying the impossible and embarrassingly outdoing themselves yet again

Seriously, normally I just don't open threads like this, but damn we need some Panther news.

Shouldn't give it to him, because he's as much to that number as 89 is to Smitty. 

But Tepper and Rhule would have because it's not special to them as fans.

Didn’t tepper say at the ring of honor ceremony for Steve smith that he wasn’t going to let anyone where that jersey number for a long time?

[Mr. Scot]

I'm pretty sure any front office person or coach who took what jersey number a player might want into consideration regarding whether to draft them or not would be laughed out of the league so badly that they'd probably never even watch an NFL game again.

If Dan Quayle could spell potato, would climate change have ever been a thing? 

[Bigdaddy8523]

Number 90 should be off limits as well!!

[Varking]

They talk. If he would have worn number 1 here it would have been because he and Cam talked about it and got his blessing. 

[Sir Purr]

If Jimmy Clausen had developed into a franchise QB and lead the Panthers to a Super Bowl would DJ Moore wear #2?

So you’re saying that was likely our reasoning. 

Well...

I know for a 100% fact that Justin would’ve asked Cam for his permission. He’s always worn #1 and wanted to do so in the NFL too. He also looked up to Cam being from GA so he likely would’ve thought it would be a nice honor. I don’t know what Cam’s answer would’ve been.
