Cam given #1 (Update and he is Keeping the Number)

[TheRealDeal]

Do you think it's possible that at this point Cam is "too big to fail" with Jerry and the NFL?

[The Saltman]

its more than likely a player will fail in the NFL then not. That's what statistics tell me. But Cam is God.

[Mr. Scot]

Person doesn't necessarily expect it to last...

Newton is said to be wary of wearing No. 1 because of the extra attention it might draw. In previous situations like this, players have purchased numbers from teammates.

A resolution is expected soon, because the team is eager to sell Newton's jersey, with whatever number that might be.

You don't have to be signed to get a jersey number.

Richardson said for years he wouldn't allow a number one to be worn. Either he's changed that, or this really is just temporary.

I've heard people say this but have never actually heard Richardson say it. Are you sure he has said it? Or is it one of those things that have been repeated so much it has become truth?

[Mother Grabber]

If he does have #1, we'll see if he still has #1 when the season starts. If he keeps it for the first season, then changes, AND he becomes a super stud, those original #1s will be valuable.

[TheRealDeal]

But do you think it's possible that he's too big to fail?

It will be interesting to watch as his career progresses, this season especially

[Kingpatecu]

Guess the fans aren't #1 anymore

that makes no sense. If you fail you fail.

[TheRealDeal]

You think you ever were #1?

[Mr. Scot]

Don't know that he ever said it publicly, but I saw it written about bey more than one of the local guys years back.

There was never an official statement on the number 51 either until it was retired, but you'd have had to shoot Jackie Miles to get it.

Newton being uncomfortable with it makes sense too.

But that's my number!!!!

Where's my rep?

My prediction....

1

Rep me if I'm right.

[TheRealDeal]

that makes no sense. If you fail you fail.

It could make business sense.

It's better for the NBA when the Lakers are in the finals. Certain things could go their way that normally wouldn't for teams/players that aren't "too big to fail"

Jerry has a lot invested in Cam. Jerry is a big player in the NFL scheme of things. It might be in the best interest of the NFL to have Cam not fail.

No?

I'm not saying it isn't true I just have never actually heard it and was wondering if it has become an urban legend.
