It would do him (Fields) a disservice for accepting #1 because he’ll infinitely be compared to the last person who donned the number. For example, Bradberry wearing 24 after Norman’s exit. 

He already wears #1 because of Cam.

Ultimately it is only symbolic but the last thing the team should be doing is bringing in negative publicity when it is already in a downward trajectory. Until the Panthers have restored some semblance of actual legitimacy again certain jerseys should remain off limits. Build it back right and focus on not being a joke in our own division for awhile for starters.

Yeah. Last year. When NE had a league high number of opt outs and their only decent receiver played 6 games.

Edelman had a career game high in receiving yards with Cam.

And Cam, minus COVID, stayed healthy all year. We let Cam go not because he wasn't good when healthy but because he wasn't staying healthy .

Running the ball, 600 yards, 12 TD, Cam looked like vintage Cam. Had total trash WR, TE, I wonder why his passing numbers were down.

He’s done as a legit starter, man. I’ll never forget his prime here but that ship has sailed. Even if he was a fraction of what he used to be he doesn’t play for Carolina anymore. You’ll sleep better at night when you start living in reality.

If Fields asks for it, sure.

51 is the only number I'm *sure* is retired.  I believe there is an unspoken, unwritten agreement that 89 and 90 don't go out.  I expect we'll see the same with 59.

I suspect the Panthers will hand out #1 if we draft Fields and if Fields asks for it.  The split was not handled super well, and it's still pretty new.  With the bevy of advisors that draft picks have these days, I expect that Fields will be advised to contact Cam in order to prevent an all out fiasco.  I expect Cam will bless the request and we'll all move on.

I’m not sensitive enough to care about numbers. If the team doesn’t want people to wear it then they should retire it. Justin Fields has a good enough head on his shoulders I’m sure he’d ask Cam himself if he had a problem with it and he would respect his wishes.

      We're at DefCanales Level 1

      lol It's 2 games in with a broken QB it's too early to tell. I hope Canales works out but this is still funny.

      Bill Barnwell defends Bryce's benching with some horrific stats

      This backlash has truly been sad and was part of the reason I believe Bryce was drafted in the first place. He was small and looked like a kid and everybody just loved that he was also good at football. Once I heard CJ Stroud talking on his podcast tour this summer, I was like well that is the reason he isn't here. I remember the hatred for Cam that basically arose out of him being a massive, confident, black man. Every time a new broadcast crew met him during warmups the telecast was just about how larger than life he was. I even had a friend who is close to Cam's size talk about him sucking the air out of every room goes into like being big, loud, and confident is a bad thing. And many here along with the media never showed any sympathy, empathy, or a second thought to the shite Cam had to put up with while here. Till this day it is either about the stupid fumble that didn't matter that he didn't jump on, or that he only had like one good year.  So to see this crazy backlash from the sports and social media regarding Canales benching a small, weak, entitled, non verbal QB who is playing terrible, struggling to recognize defenses, missing open WRs, and leaving clean pockets is mind blowing! Only Chase Daniels watched the film before talking this week. Everyone else used it as an opportunity pine for Bryce and crap on organization. Again, I hope someone is dumb enough to give us Josh Rosen compensation for him.
