I don't know that it'd be as huge a "nightmare" as you think, but I also don't believe they'll go that route either way.

It would definitely cause a fan base uproar.  Also, doing that in this slow time of the year, it would be the only thing that the media could drum up to get clicks.

Possibly, but I also think a pretty solid portion of the fanbase realizes Newton isn't coming back.

It's not a matter of coming back. It's the same as if we allowed players to wear 58, 59 or 89. Tepper said during the last hall of honors ceremony, there are jersey numbers that will never been worn again. 1 is probably one of them when Cam hangs it up.

Did you miss the back and forth between Tepper and Steve Smith during one of last year's preseason games?

Remind me?

"I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to retire as many, ... you know there's a lot of Hall of Famers on the Pittsburgh Steelers, you know any of them? I'm going to retire as many numbers as the Pittsburgh Steelers have."

"How many is that?" Smith Sr. asked.

"None," Tepper said with a laugh.

Equipment managers are sometimes reluctant to resissue numbers, but Tepper isn't holding ny back.

And let's be honest: Newton could be in his 40s and not having played for 10 years and there's still going to be a vocal portion of the fanbase saying we need to re-sign him.

its not available. That would be a PR nightmare if they did that. 

Idgaf what anyone says.  No one should EVER wear #1 for this franchise again.  Period.  The moment Cam retires from the league it needs to go up in the ring.

Also I think in preseason you can have some players wear the same number. Might be the way to go until after cuts. Walker most likely is gone and Baker can get his old high school number back if Hekker doesnt want to change.

Rhule will probably stash Darnold on IR during preseason just so he can keep PJ on the roster. 

I dont see a scenario where Rhule cuts PJ.

#17 Should Be up there has well, was a botched kick away from being superbowl mvp, and took this franchise to places we never dreamed possible

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
