CAR: Newton Wearing #2 'Not a Big Deal'

Frank Tadych, from NFL.com, reports rookie QB Cam Newton is not concerned about getting the #2 from second-year player Jimmy Clausen. "I really don't care. It's just a number to me," Newton said. "Gossip sells, and I understand that with people hearing I wore No. 2 in college, and Jimmy has it right now, (but) it's not a big deal to me. I just want to get that out of the way and throw it out there. It's not the number. It's the person wearing it."

Newton wore the #2 and won National Championships the last two years, one with Auburn and one with Blinn Junior College. However, when he first played college football at the University of Florida he wore the #13. We don't think Clausen will get cut from the Panthers roster this year, but he's certainly not the future. If Newton really wants the number then all he has to do is wait.

Just a number, I'm glad he feels the same way.

This tells me not to buy his jersey then.... At least to see how it plays out. Also, This is Reebok's last year to make our jerseys. I'll wait til next year so I can get a FAT Nike jersey, and by then his # situation will have worked itself out.

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
