Sid Luckman and George McAfee were no slouches either.

you are about a thousand times more likely to make it to the HOF than have your number retired.

lets figure out his odds to make it to the hall- taking in account kuch wont make it- be generous- lets say 40 percent....

now lets do the math 40X1000%=.04%

Honestly i think that is about right especially when you take into concideration that, that 1000 percent estimate is an UNDER estimate- 1000Xnumbers retired < HOF members

My sentiments exactly.

He's one of the most underrated players of our time, and apparently even by some of our own fans, like this TS? Pathetic really... I wish i could vote -5 stars on this thread.

I agree with you that Zach has been overlooked. However I don't think the number will be retired.

By the way, that sig makes my eyes bleed. Go Tigers!!!!

i believe that Thomas will be retired buty not Taytor because Thomas has done more for the defense

Yes it caught my eye that neither the Cowboys or the Raiders have retired any numbers. Seemed very out of place.
