Time to retire #1 and #59, and def put them in the row of honor.

In my opinion our only retired numbers so far should be: 1, 51, 59, and 90.

 

I’d retire 89 as well. 
 

I’ve floated this idea around too but I want 58 to be our Cowboys 88. Let the next big time LB rock it and make it a badge of honor to be selected to wear it the few rare times that we want to issue it ou

I agree. TD is a legend, but in a different way. 

If 89 was already retired I'd be all for it. I think he's going to have a tough row to hoe now, but I'd rather not get into that in this thread.

This is how every honored number should be treated IMO. Not retired, but not given out often, and you better ball out if you wear it.

Are there any roaring riot members who could let me come as their guest to the tailgate? I’ve never been to a panthers game despite being a lifelong fan. Going to be my first time. cam is my favorite player of all time, I was a young poor teenager when he was on the team so I never got to see him play live but really would love to see the podcast live.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
