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.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
