there isn't that many good numbers to take that aren't already taken he's going to have to get a number from somebody..it's just going to be more publicized since it's Cam..did we even hear any articles about how Jimmy got shot down for the #7 number from Baker? I personally prefer the number 3 so if Moore's gone that would be a good one to take.

i do NOT care if Newton is the number one overall pick the FACT is that it's CLAUSEN'S number, NOT Newton's. if Newton wants it so bad, he will pay up, but if he doesnt, Clausen is number 2 and Newton wont have a number. Just because Newton was the first pick does NOT mean he should be entitled to things. i felt the same way about Reggie Bush when he wanted to wear the number 5, just because a player is a media favorite or a future franchise player does not mean he should be given things. As of now Clausen is 2 and if Newton doesnt want to pay for it, he can wear another number.

way to get so passionate about something so trivial while pointing out the obvious.. what is obvious? well it's Clausen's #.. Cam can't just take it. lol

considering Cam isn't overly concerned and has already pointed out he doesn't want to be entitled to anything, I'm not sure what this conversation is really about...

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.

It's a number. It's not like Clausen said, "f**k it, I'm giving up the #2, so I'm also rescinding my desire to compete for the starting job."

man, people are making way too big of a deal here.. this happens all the time and if Clausen has always wanted #7, then it's really pointless to look down on him for something so trivial. Guy X gives money to Guy Z and it's a done deal. There is nothing else to take from it.

I agree that this is a complete non-issue... there is an established protocol in the NFL for dealing with player numbers and they will deal with it. I'm am far more concerned with how they are going to play than what number they will wear.

Clausen better be in a fuging playbook and out practicing.. whether he gives up his number or not has abso-freaking-lutely nothing to do with him starting or not.

also, this is the epitome of fans and media's desire to get high on some drama.. soap opera's are on tv all day, go check them out if you need a little dirt to get you through the day..

meanwhile these players are going to continue to do their job, regardless of what number they wear.

hahaha, i was mainly getting on to the person who acted like Cam is entitled to the number just because he's the new pick, i (personally) dont think Cam cares about the number as much as the media is letting on, i even wrote about it, IF i am right.

i am sure he is, i heard (when the lockout was lifted for that short time) that he was at the stadium very early. i think he's likely doing what most QBs are doing and working out during this lockout and studying the new playbook

      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
