Braxton Miller - Texans 3rd round pick, 85th overall

Wow... That's kind of disrespectful in my opinion.

 

Why? He's not coming back and it's not like they were going to retire the number.

 

They should.

 

I highly disagree, like I said in the other thread, one great and 3 good seasons isn't enough to get your number retired.....or we should retire Shaub's number too.

 

Agreed it shouldn't be retired, but if I was in charge of this sort of thing I think I'd have a moratorium on the usage of a number for a year for a player like Arian.

Especially at the same position.

Just my personal opinion, maybe I'm too sentimental haha

 

Schaub.


I know it was probably a simple typo, and nothing meant towards you Bobby, but why can't Texans fans, or NFL fans in general, get this right? It was never that hard...

 

LOL, it's cool, I HATE it when others make that typo so I totally understand.

 

No they shouldn't. If teams retired every jersey of every player that was good for them, we'd have to add a 3rd digit on numbers. Arian was good here (at times he was great), but in terms of longevity and legacy, you need players to be better for longer than just a handful of seasons.

 

So you don't want Yao's number retired?

 

This. A year moratorium would be the best idea.

 

If it wasn't, I wouldn't mind.

 

There was a tweet from one of the Seahawks players (don't remember who or I would post it) but it said "Nice job on the draft, but please can we not give anyone number 24 for a few years?" in respect for Lynch

Not getting it retired, but I think its something the players wanted to observe. At the same time, I feel like it is something Foster wouldn't give to ****s about. Namaste.

 

Meant to post it last night. Baldwin requesting is really the big difference here. If Duane Brown or Hopkins requested it, then I would have preferred they kept the number. But apparently even his old teammates don't care. Some of us fans do, but that is not the same as a player.

 

The battles Bobby chooses to wage are so bizarre.

 

It's just ridiculous that I've even had to say anything about this topic. There's only a certain amount of numbers RB's can wear and it's not like Foster is a HOFer. I get that he was a fan favorite and a very good player, but getting upset that someone else has his number now? Bizarre.

 

Yes only 30 numbers for the 3-5 RBs on a roster to choose from.

 

Check the roster, how many numbers between 20-49 are open?

 

Consider last year the year.

 

So, are they not having a press conference to introduce the rest of the guys or did I miss it?
