Quote:Meh. I like that they honor our best and most heralded players in a such a subtle way as to keep their numbers out of circulation or awhile. Just like how 40-49 are available for Tight Ends, opening up 10-19 to WR's was going to happen as more WR's and passing TE's are kept on rosters, and any injuries that may happen to said WR's and TE's which would land them and their # on IR, which would in turn open the door for even more WR's and TE's to be signed to that same roster, you simply need more #'s.

 

Why is your thirst for a random WR to take 82 greater than your wanting to give Jimmy his due for the greatness he achieved on the field?

 

Lee isn't a "random" WR. Nor is Robinson. 

 

This isn't selecting Mike Thomas/ Jarrett Dillard and handing him 82. 

 

 

And, as said, its been 10 friggin years. Its time. I can see keeping the numbers out of circulation for about 5 years, but after that its overkill. No reason to keep them out of circulation past that. 

 

The Pride is a worthy enough honor should they make it....which I agree, Jimmy should.
