Cam Wants #2 Jersey From Clausen

Just searched on ESPN for a debate they had on that new show "Audible" with Steve Young, Keyshawn, Dilfer, and Herm that I saw last night about whether Jimmy should give up the #2. Steve Young said something along the lines of, if he gives it up to him, he should just quit IIRC. I can't find the video, but I found this article/blog on it...

If Jimmy is gone anyway, I guess it doesn't matter.

hey! original idea for a thread!

I know it was already discussed, but I hadn't seen any actual article on it suggesting it was a real possibility, so don't be a dick.

I just figured Cam would take #1 or become #12. And then they dicussed it on that show last night and the QBs seemed to take the most offense to it.

It all hinges on Jason Baker.

Clausen wanted his #7 last year and he wouldn't give it up.

Newton needs to pay Baker so Jimmy can have #7 and Cam can have #2

This is the only way it will play out.

LOL remember when Reggie Bush wanted to keep his College number and people were saying they should let him cause he was going to be a super star. LOL

I don't understand why we don't just say "Jimmy, you're not our franchise QB. Give Cam his # now!".

Honestly it doesn't really matter to me I am buying his jersey regardless of what the number he chooses though so it's not a big deal to me lol.

I told myself I wouldn't buy another jersey after I bought an authentic Peppers jersey and 2 years later he left. I might change my mind and get a Cam jersey but I'm going to wait until next year when Nike starts making the jersey's to get one.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
