I don't know that it'd be as huge a "nightmare" as you think, but I also don't believe they'll go that route either way.

It would definitely cause a fan base uproar.  Also, doing that in this slow time of the year, it would be the only thing that the media could drum up to get clicks.

Possibly, but I also think a pretty solid portion of the fanbase realizes Newton isn't coming back.

It's not a matter of coming back. It's the same as if we allowed players to wear 58, 59 or 89. Tepper said during the last hall of honors ceremony, there are jersey numbers that will never been worn again. 1 is probably one of them when Cam hangs it up.

Did you miss the back and forth between Tepper and Steve Smith during one of last year's preseason games?

Remind me?

"I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to retire as many, ... you know there's a lot of Hall of Famers on the Pittsburgh Steelers, you know any of them? I'm going to retire as many numbers as the Pittsburgh Steelers have."

"How many is that?" Smith Sr. asked.

"None," Tepper said with a laugh.

Equipment managers are sometimes reluctant to resissue numbers, but Tepper isn't holding ny back.

And let's be honest: Newton could be in his 40s and not having played for 10 years and there's still going to be a vocal portion of the fanbase saying we need to re-sign him.

its not available. That would be a PR nightmare if they did that. 

Idgaf what anyone says.  No one should EVER wear #1 for this franchise again.  Period.  The moment Cam retires from the league it needs to go up in the ring.

Also I think in preseason you can have some players wear the same number. Might be the way to go until after cuts. Walker most likely is gone and Baker can get his old high school number back if Hekker doesnt want to change.

Rhule will probably stash Darnold on IR during preseason just so he can keep PJ on the roster. 

I dont see a scenario where Rhule cuts PJ.

#17 Should Be up there has well, was a botched kick away from being superbowl mvp, and took this franchise to places we never dreamed possible

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
