Panthers punter is not amused by jersey number talk

[jtnc]

Someone asked Newton if he wanted the No.2 jersey WITHOUT mentioning Clausen and he said "Yes" the media and the HUDDLE are dragging this out to a non-story, so get your fugging facts straight! Cam has not commented on this matter any further, and Baker needs stfu and stop adding more fuel to the fire for the media.

.. wow. You're either naive or an idiot. What jersey # does Clausen have? If I'm not mistaken its the # 2. A 3rd grader could read between the lines. He doesn't need to mention Clausen's name, he's the one with the jersey #. Baker isn't adding anything to the 'fire', he's speaking the truth. There are bigger things to worry about than a jersey number. Oh by the way, baker doesn't need to stfu, he's a veteran and has more right to speak his mind about the matter since he's on the team and has played a down in the NFL. Baker was also asked and he answered, don't get upset that Cam isn't getting his way..

Cam didn't DEMAND ANYTHING, he asked if he can have the number and I'm pretty sure he offered him money for the rights to it. And also we don't know if Cam has picked a number or not yet, since Teams aren't allowed to sell rookies jersey's until the lockout is over.

Lol...so now your going to split hairs over a word. So be it.

You call it what you want, and I'll continue to call it as I see it.

I bet if it was Andrew Luck, there wouldn't be any question that he could have any number he wanted.

hehehehehehe

[Jackofalltrades]

I bet Luck would worry about stuff that actually matters.

[rayzor]

who says anyone is making a big deal about it other than the media and a few dodos in here?

people are too easy to get riled up.

it doesn't matter and i doubt anyone actually involved is losing sleep over it as much as you clowns are.

[bleys]

considering the media is the only one who has made this a story, sounds like sour grapes from Baker.. since you know, Cam is out there practicing instead of worrying about his jersey number.

or what he said.. guess I should have read the rest of the thread.

because anything with Cam is taking to the xtreme.

So Baker doesn't understand why a jersey number is so important to Clausen or Cam, but he won't give his up?

Sorry, this is really simple for me - Cam is supposed to be our franchise QB, he should get whatever number he wants. They should take Baker's 7 and give it to Jimmy so Cam can have 2. If Baker doesn't like that they should ask him why it's such a big deal what number is on his shirt while he's punting.

Baker has JOAT's sense of humor.:rofl:

:lol: may be true though

I bet Luck would worry about stuff that actually matters.

based on what i've seen...numbers hold sentimental value for the majority of players.

[Panthro]

The media is making this into a story. I'm sure Cam, Jason, and Jimmy are tired of the discussion as well.

[Beastonfan]

I say the guy who was on the field more last season with the most yards from scrimmage has the right to wear #7, sorry Clausen but we saw Baker behind center more than we saw you and his one punt trumped any of the drives you lead.

[Davidson Deac II]

Newton's a rookie. He should take whatever number they have available, and feel fortunate that he is getting paid a lot of money to play a game.

[Kettle]

i have a solution but JR has to give in a little too. Cam get 2. Jimmy gets 7. Baker gets 1 cuz he was the MVP last year. Literally.

Punter salary/number of plays on the field = cheapest team member.
