Personally, this is b.s. He may be good, but what makes him any more important in a relevance sense than anyone else? If they do, it'll be all about the marketing and dollars.

What the hell is this now, the NFL is playing favorites? That aint right.

Philter25 · 05-01-2006, 09:18 PM

Bottom line, Edge couldnt wear #5.

Prime Time · 05-01-2006, 09:21 PM

He better wear something in the 20s and 30s. I am sure they will end up not letting him because imagine him being a bust.

Then Jason Allen should get to wear #18. They shouldn't make exceptions for a player. The only other time a player got to wear a different number was when Keyshawn wore #19 as a Jet when he was drafted in 96'. He got to wear that because the Jets ran out of numbers in the 80's. They didn't make the number change for the WR's until 2004.

IMO, we should loosen up the number system. RBs in college look pretty cool wearing single numbers.

Amars · 05-01-2006, 10:24 PM

didnt Randy change to 18. I thought reciever only can wear #'s in the 80's. Am I correct?

Over 30 receivers in the league have a number in the teens. They changed it in 2004 so receivers could wear numbers in the teens and the 80's.

I think the number system should stay the same. It helps identifiy the players by position just by knowing their numbers. Make Bush wear a normal number, he's nothing special....Yet....

Nowhere in the article does it indicate the NFL is going to allow this. The only suggestion of this was from Bush's agent, who has a vested interest....

I hate the teens. It looks so bad for WRs. I hate all these #11s running around.

If they pick a stupid number like 11 it's their fault. Personally, I think a 19 or 17 is rather stylish although anything else in the teens sucks for Wr's. I just think that its impractical to have all TE's and Wr's wear 80's because there are a lot of them on the roster at times.

Alex44 · 05-02-2006, 12:46 AM

I think RB's should be able to wear in the single digits

But Changing any rule just for Reggie Bush is BS

Slappy8800 · 05-02-2006, 05:03 AM

let the players wear whatever number they want

Negative, they changed that a few years ago thanks to Meshawn.
