Quote:I agree with the overall sentiment that Rashean is a worthy candidate for inclusion into the Pride.

 

But your observation about the out of circulation numbers, taken at face value, is an interesting one.

 

Putting aside the fact a number could be removed from circulation, the numbers listed above begs the question of whether the deciders of who gets into the Pride have an offensive bias?

 

I would say Brackens, Mathis, Stroud, and Henderson have strong arguments for Pride membership.

 

I have noticed this as well. I am not quite sure how or why this has been taking place.

I must be honest, when Brackens was released, I HATED the fact that someone was able to wear his number. 55 sacks in 8 years is good. But not even close to HOF consideration maybe that's the reason. Or maybe its because the Pride wasn't even a "thing" when he was released. 

As for Stroud and Henderson, see Brackens. And where would they be without each other though? (That's a hypothetical question for another time). 

I'd say that with 30 INTs as a Jag, that is enough to be inducted. Maybe they take #27 out of circulation once Gratz is cut  :whistling:

 

Maybe they have a bias, we do not know. But it is definitely a curious question.
