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!!!!

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
