If it was an unspoken rule before (and I'm with teeray, I've heard it repeated often enough but never by anyone who would actually know) then I'd say it's a big statement by JR to let Cam wear #1. Says "we're entering a new era, you're our highest drafted QB. Now make me proud and go win me some GD games."

This stuff about "wah I don't think anyone should wear #1 because that number's for the fans!" is lame. Not trying to single anyone out, but that whole concept is a bit weak, in my opinion. The fans aren't on the gd field. If the fans need a number, give us # A BAJILLION to represent the amount of money we support them with.

Whatever makes our #1 overall pick happy makes me happy. A happy employee is a productive employee.

I think it did exist before because I can remember seeing it repeated from what I considered reliable sources.

So why the change? Good question, but one that probably can be answered in terms of context.

For example, why the change from totally avoiding guys with character concerns and reputations for being bad boys? Why the willingness to use the number one pick on a 'boom or bust' position when that was avoided before? Why the change from a head coach known for being cautious to a coach who believes in all-out attack all the time?

And for that matter, why the release of a kicker who has been on every Panthers roster since the beginning of their existence?

I've begun to think the last few years have worn on Jerry Richardson more than we know.

And thus, the times they are a changin'.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
