I'm hoping that's temporary because.....so underwhelming.

He is one of the top selling rookie jerseys so it would kind of suck for those fans that have already ordered them.

They aren't being made or shipped yet. Not an issue

Why?

He's been #4 throughout HS and College, I'd have been more surprised if he went with a different number having worn it for 7 years now.

Also, you can do this with either nickname....

Pretty sure if you order from Fanatics, you get 1 year from purchase date to where if they change their number, they will swap it out for you anyways.  So if you wait to get one until just before the season and then next offseason he were to change his number, you might still be able to get it swapped out.

FWIW, I saw an interview where he said Nalo or TMac were both fine, just not T-Mac. no hyphen. Also, his mama hates "Tet".

 

I saw the interview where he says he is fine with either but his mom doesn't like Tet, but don't remember him saying about the no hyphen.

But I have seen that he doesn't use the hyphen on things like his twitter feed too, so I kinda want to stop using it myself, but I've been talking and reading about the kid for 3 years now and I've always used and seen it as T-Mac with the hyphen, hard habit to break, especially as without the hyphen it looks a little odd to me too.

Certain numbers i don't want to see used again for a Panther and 4 is one of them.  Also 4 is dumb for a WR

N4LO is pretty cool

Good to know. Thanks!

The team shop has a note about nothing being shipped until numbers are finalized and only guarantee before the season starts. All team shops have the note on thr pre-orders

Well it's been used since him already, and sure, he's a Panthers legend, but he's still just a kicker and not a HOFer, so it's just not a number I'd want to see go un-used again, it's not 89, 90, 1, 59, or even 58 or 88, all numbers I think should be untouchable way before 4.

I'd have said 4 is a dumb WR number 4 years ago too, but I've become so used to watching him in the number the last 3 years that it just fits for me now.  With his tall but slender frame, he needs to wear a single digit number or 11, I think anything else double digit would just look wide and wonky on him.

Which really means it came down to 4, 5, or 11 if he wasn't going to try and pay for a number from someone else.  I could see the argument for 11, it would look good on him, but again, I'm so used to him in 4 that I now like how it looks on him, so I'm happy with it myself.

I hated it when another kicker used 4 as well.  You have your opinion and I have mine.

I get it, but you have to draw a line in the sand somewhere when you're retiring or even just not using numbers.

If we're not using 4, we shouldn't be using any of 1, 58, 59, 69, 85, 87, 88, 89, 90, and I could make an argument for 17, 95, 20, or 30 in there as well.  For me, you can't retire a number unless the player is (or really should be) a HOFer and spent most of their career with that team.

1, 59, 89, and 90 really should be our only retired numbers, if you're going to make an argument for a non HOFer and you can only choose one, I'd go 58 over 4.

But I get it, everyone has their own opinions on that stuff.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By NAS · Posted

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
