What, was his number 5.5 at LSU?

Look back a few posts :sosp:

Sure, that way all those people with 90 Jersey's could just rip off the name.

Gantt enlightens a bit...

As for numbers, equipment manager Jackie Miles will often sit on the numbers of departed veterans who had a little clout around here.

So it's worth noting at the moment there's no 17, 45, 53 or 87. It would be surprising if former QB Jake Delhomme's number gets issued for a while.

Panthers play the numbers game

Makes sense. Miles flatly refused to issue Sam Mills' #51 until the team officially retired it.

But holding out on #53? LOL... Hanibal Navies says thank you.

So does Na'il Diggs.

Though in fairness, we only had one drafted player who would have been looking for a number in the 50s, and instead he chose the 90s (whiich makes sense, his being a hybrid).

There are plenty of '50' numbers still available.

Well, we have an 85 again, and it's a tight end, undrafted TE Andrew George.

Also got a 77, given to guard Noah Franklin.

Think it was already mentioned that Pike got Weinke's #16 (ugh)

Tyrone Poole's old #38 will get stretched a lot more with Rashawn Jackson wearing it.

Sauerbrun's old #6 went to kicker Aaron Pettrey.

Aaaaand the dreaded #8 has been given out, but thankfully not to a quarterback. Undrafted punter Blake Haudan got it.

(doubt it'll be lucky for him either, though)

That was my point Mr. Scot. Diggs was as professional as they come, and I'm sure from what I've heard, he was well liked in the locker room. But, keeping #53 from being re-issued immediately after he left is taking it a bit too far, lol.

But, you're right, Norwood was the only real viable candidate for a # in the 50s but opted for one in the 90s.

BTW, lurkers for the observer, give me my rep for giving you stories to write about in your 'paper.' LOL @ 'inside the panthers' making the issuing of numbers their story after this thread was made yesterday. IT BELONGS TO MEEEEE!!!!

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
