No Panther currently wears the No. 2 jersey, so let us look back at our most infamous wearer of the No. 2, quarterback Jimmy Clausen. Normally I never hesitate to get in a jab at the Jimmeh but I’m feeling kind of melancholy today. So letus start with a condensed version of how Clausen’s NFL career began and flamed out in epic fashion.
On July 28, 2010, Clausen signed a four-year, $4.2 million contract with the Panthers, which includes $2.53 million in guarantees. Clausen made his NFL debut in a loss against the New York Giants in the 2010 season opener, after starting quarterback Matt Moore was sidelined with a concussion.
