should rogers changes his number?

[TKnight24]

NFL usually is more "organized" with the jersey numbers as opposed to how college is.

But if he wants 16, let him have it. Long as Andrew doesn't come out wearing a number in the 80's or 90's I'm good

[Jim H.]

Rogers is a beast.  He is in the best place possible for career development with Luck as the QB and  Wayne, Hilton, the newly-acquired Nicks and two stud TE's as the other primary targets.  Could there be a stronger receiving corps for a young guy to grow up with?

 

I believe, honestly, that opposing DC's are already in near-panic mode trying to figure out how to handle what they will face this coming season.

 

Of course, the old injury bug may be their only prayer.

[Coffeedrinker]

LaVon Brazill is 15.

Griff Whalen is 17.

 

I don't see why 16 is a problem. 

TY Hilton is 13.

I like Rogers and he and Whalen are the reasons why I think signing Nicks was a bad idea.  But being behind Wayne, Hilton and Nicks and two TEs is not good for his development.  The only way a player truly develops is by playing in games.  And unless as you state the injury bug hits Rogers will not be playing a lot in games.

Not sure what town/planet you're from. But there's this thing called fatigue. It's when players get tired from running & playing in the game. So what happens is the depth players get to play too & if we're lucky, our fabolous offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton will rotate guys too. It's absolutely awesome how fatigue plays in football. You should see it!!! :clap:

They are receivers not d lineman. How often does a healthy Reggie pull himself out of a game?

I don't know if you're being serious or sarcastic.

Man, they are starting these kids young now in the NFL.

Sir- My unstated thought was that #87 will likely only be with the Colts another year or so, and who knows what happens with Nicks after a season. I was trying to say this is a great environment for a young receiver to learn his craft.  :^)

That's nice, that has no bearing on what I stated, however,  When Wayne leaves or hangs up his cleats that just means that Rogers will be another year or two behind on his development.  Practice is good and necessary but he cannot learn his craft, develop or any other word or phrase you want to use unless he gets on the field during a game.  So what I'm saying is, having three veteran WRs in front of you is great for learning how to study film, prepare in the offseason, etc but a deterrent to learning his craft.

Aaron Rodgers would disagree

Reggie doesn't have a say. If Pep wants to rotate guys he will. We have the firepower (on paper. Things could change come regular season) to rotate people in & out at will

Well.  Ok.

I'm quite sure reggie does have a say at this point in his career. You don't take a hall of famer off the field if he isn't tired

[Draztik]

I like #16 it's different, plus i'm not a huge fan of players changing their #'s during their careers. 

[Malakai432]

I think you should worry about other things than a rookie WR, who's been thrown into the lineup and made crucial plays, dropping some balls.

Those are some incredible catches, guy does have some great untapped potential.......

Waay before my time but still, touche

 

i think Andy dalton wears 14

 

Well I meant the last time a really good QB wore 14 lol.  Though unlike a lot of people, I don't think Dalton has quite hit his ceiling yet. He's not been great so far but I still think he has room to and the ability to improve.

 

Dan Marino 13 dag nabbit!

 

 

Do you mean Marino? Montana was #16 in SF and #19 in KC I think.

 

Yes I did definitely mean Marino, not Montana.  

[James Harden]

The number 16 will soon be a  legend.

I actually hate receivers having numbers in the teens. I understand why it was done.  Receivers and TEs only had from 80-89.  I think if they were going to open up numbers, I would have preferred the 40s.  Don't see them used as much.   Be like Paul Warfield and wear 42.  But again, I see the logic.  We have 1-19 for QB and kickers.  That is a lot of number for potentially 5 guys on a roster.

TEs can wear in the 40s

Like Coltsrule91 said, TE's can wear numbers in the 80's and 40's whereas WR's can wear numbers in the 80's or teens.

You know it's the off-season when this is a topic that is generating debate.

[SageSweatshirt]

Being new to the forums I'm really ecstatic to see the amount of Rogers believers. I've been screaming about him since we picked him up, glad other people are too. 

[Nostrils]

is it just me or does 16 just doesnt look good on a wr

Hahahaha

[Lucky87]

I kind of like the 16 it can be his trade mark number for when he gets to the H.O.F.
