Panthers punter is not amused by jersey number talk

[Panthro]

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.

He should. He also answered a question honestly about the number when asked. I think everyone makes a bigger deal about things because there is nothing else going on.

The collective iq of the huddle took a major hit from the panthers drafting cam.

This I will agree with completely.

But to the topic, Baker is one of the most consistent performers on the entire team. I have spent many games on the sidelines and the guy never sits down, never stops moving, and takes his job very seriously.

If he gives up #7 I doubt he will give a sh-t about it but I hope he gets rewarded handsomely. Something with Swiss Movement at a minimum.

Nobody is wearing #1 right now. Problem solved.

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.

solution is even easier than that.

after TC and preseason when it is obvious Jimmy ain't worth taking up a roster spot b/c of the type scheme Chud runs we just cut Jimmy and give him a chance in an offense he fits. Cam/vet/Moore.

Everyone is happy.

Whoever can dig up the ACTUAL most ridiculous thing ever posted here gets unlimited pie from me for every post that I see them make until football starts. I'm here daily, and read almost every thread. I can't guarantee pie on posts I don't see, but otherwise it's yours. The rest of the huddle can vote for the winner by using a majority pie vote system. Requires quote and link to original thread.

Inset NotAwesomeness thread here....

Then why does he not want to give up his Jersey? Kinda hypocritical there.

Better question why should he have to give up his jersey so an unproven rookie can get someone else's jersey...

I don't think they let people wear 1.

Not sure he has said exactly that yet.

"No intention of giving up his number"is just the way the writer made it sound more controversial when they did not have an actual quote.

the way I saw it anyway

oh, didn't realize that. I thought they kept it open so they could use it on draft days etc. and then they wouldn't be "wearing" someone else's number.

Tell our franchise punter to know his role... and shut his mouth! We've never heard a single word from him and now all of a sudden he wants to get all froggy? His opinion actually matters the LEAST.
