I really dont think Cam cares alot about the number or not. He's worn other numbers. He said he would try, but if theres a bunch of trouble about it, he wont pursue it. He'll be great with or without the number 2.

Am I the only one who thinks that this controversy is purely media invented?

I mean, the draft is over, but we have a stay on the lockout. Writers covering the NFL are probably hurting for stories.

And if Cam Newton, or anyone else for that matter, makes a stink about the number on his uniform, then the coaches have a lot of work ahead of them. But somehow, I don't really suspect that will be the case.

Exactly. I saw this story on the front page of yahoo. You would think he held a press conference about the poo.

So wait, we're really letting a punter hold up our franchise QB from getting the # he wants?

And it's a punter that is not only in his mid-30's but a punter who has been with seven different teams. Not like a guy who has been here 16 years. The guy is a journeyman, run of the mill type guy. Just cut him and sign Reggie Roby or something (too soon?) :eek6:

Give Cam his number... I think he should have simply because its his trade mark number...

i dont think he should have it because it's his trade mark number. guys like DeAngelo Williams had to switch from 20 to 34 and Sam Bradford went from 14 to 8. who cares if he's the top pick, it doesnt mean he's entitled to the number, but i dont think he cares about it as much as people think.

nope you arent the only one. i think he wants the number, but isnt going to make a big deal out of it, same with Jimmy. if Newton wants it and pays for it, Clausen will accept and if he doesnt want to pay for it, he will wear another number.

cam should have asked moose while on their show earlier how much he had to pay king to get #87 back

probably not much if anything. Moose owned just about every recieving record in Panther history when he returned.....King should of and probably handed it over.

I've never heard so many opinions about a fuging number..

it doesn't mean poo if Clausen gives it up. It means money talks or Clausen really wanted to wear number 7.

Hurt me to read this! I think it means alot...and I want to see Jimmy take a stand and show that he wants this to be his team. If they (foolishly) give Cam his job, that's fine, but don't step aside. I want to see him fight and scratch and claw for the starting job, and refusing to give his number is a small but symbolic part of that.

My opinion of Jimmy hangs in the balance on this....he gives up that number and its gonna be hard to respect him the same.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
