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

[Cam's New Arm]

I apologize for the poo thread but perhaps it's pertinent to our current situation..

If the Carolina Panthers would have selected QB Justin Fields with the number 8 overall pick in the 2021 draft, do you think Fields would have requested to wear the number 1 jersey? If so, do you think the team asked him this ahead of time? Do you think this played any role in the Panthers shying away from the pick if they were on the fence about him?

I'm sure this has been discussed before but as we are still on this QB carousel, I'd be curious to know if anything ever came out publicly about this?

Of course. Why wouldn't he?

Maybe

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.

I would think Fields would hook up with Cam on that before we would have known. The NFL is a giant network really, if the people care enough to try.

Still more fun to talk about than the reality we are staring down so thanks.

And no ....that wasn't the reason Fields wasn't drafted. Seriously....

I think it's the other way. The earth will collide with the sun.

Retire #1, #89, #58, and #59 already

Talking about numbers would he have had 22 turnovers in 10 starts here?
