the new 81

[CR91]

since brody is now gone, who do you see taking 81

[Nobody]

Not every number gets taken. Barring any other additions, there's a good chance nobody will take it. (not me )

its a better number then 13 or 14. thats just ugly on a wr

[Coltman51]

Maybe give it to Cosby, he needs a number now that he gave his up to Luck

[shakedownstreet]

the number should be retired

[CR91]

the number should be retired

why? unless im mistaken i cant recall anyone significant that wore 81 for the colts

[Coltman51]

Just checked the roster and Quan Cosby now listed as 14. Weird.

the number should be retired

I agree, WRs should be in the 80s or high teens, not 13 or 14. I would love it if Hilton changed to 81, though that seems more for big guys on the outside.

Marcus Pollard

[Peytonparker]

I could see Hilton in #85

[Scott Pennock]

I could see Hilton in #85

You'll have to wait until Sambrano gets cut before that happens............lol

[CR91]

Marcus Pollard

hes not worth retiring a jersey over

[Andy]

Honestly... who cares?

[Dan]

I could see Hilton in #85

I wanted to see him as #85 as a (slight) shot to Garcon for chasing the big bucks.

Because someone watching a game through a mirror might confuse it with 18?

Actually I'm pretty sure he was just kidding. Most people on here probably aren't too concerned about the the sudden availability of the number worn by last years #3 tight end, but it's May 19th (I think), so I have to give you credit for thinking of something to talk about. Lord knows I'm not trying that hard.

Regg is the only true WR number. Really bothers me.

[Balzer40]

Honestly... who cares?

I agree Andy. Never understood why any fans care about what # any player wears. Many more important things to think about than that.

[SOMDColtsfan]

Who wore #81? Who wore 81, you kiddin me? Roger Carr!! Back in the day I caught many a pass (in my mind) from Bert Jones in my back yard! Might not have the big stats but they were larger than life heros to a then young Colts fan

[MTC]

TERRELL OWENS!! jk

[unitas-we-stand]

I agree Andy. Never understood why any fans care about what # any player wears. Many more important things to think about than that.

I also agree with this. As long as we have decent players their numbers are meaningless to me. I like when a player gets the number they want but could care less what it is

actually none of this is important, it's all for entertainment. if people like talking about numbers then let them. it's the offseason, people can talk about shoe size if they want, i just wouldn't click on the thread.

i think 81 is a prime tight end number.

thank you. that's what i've been sayin' all along

[JoKeR]

Lol . Deleted post. I was thinking Fleener but he was 82

[GoColts8818]

I am sure that was a joke by shakedown but pollard wore 81 not worthy of retiring for him but still significant none the less.

[shakedownstreet]

for the record i don't believe in retiring numbers. manning's case is exceptional because no one would ask to wear it, nor do the fans want to see it

yes it was a joke, and not a very good one

[funktacious2]

I think everyone should be 81. I think 81 is the best number ever made!!! All other numbers are boring!

[TKnight24]

If #80 isn't Available, then Dwayne Allen will probably take it since it's close to his College Number

[CR91]

allen's college number is 83 and thats whats hes wearing with the colts and fleener is wearing 80

[OZOC01]

David Lagree...

[Keith L. Scott]

I see that Fugger took Brackett's old number...

[shakedownstreet]

no fuggin way

[HGRekks]

Andre Smith, the guy who replaced Eldridge in most every sense, has taken it.

[Narcosys]

someone exlplain to me why 13 or 14 would be ugly, or why they need to be in the 80's?

can you name any wr wearing 13 or 14 thats worth mentioning

[Narcosys]

Other than a superstition, is there any real REASON, why a WR cannot be in the teens, like Collie is 17, 14 is just 3 away. Whats the big deal, is there like a chart that specifies which number ranges can be assigned to a certain position. I dont think so since Peyton was 18. Why do they have to be a certain number?

[Narcosys]

And there is a numbers chart afterall:

QB: 1-19

RB: 20-49

WR: 10-19 & 80-89

TE: 40-49 & 80-89

OL: 50-79

DL: 50-79 & 90-99

LB: 50-59 & 90-99

CB: 20-49

S: 20-49

P: 1-19

K: 1-19

can you name any wr wearing 13 or 14 thats worth mentioning

Buffalo Bills - 13 Steve Johnson

Dolphins - Marlon Moore 14, Davone Bess 15

Raiders - Derrick Jones 14

Chargers - Richard Goodman 15

Ravens - Laquan Williams 15

Browns - Greg Little 15

Jags - taylor Price 15

Titans - OJ Murdock 15

Dallas - Andre Holmes 15

Eagles - Riley cooper 14

Redskins - Anthony Armstrong 13

49ers - Hastings 13, Crabtree 15

Et. al.

And furthermore. Are you telling me peopele like Hines Ward, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Victor Cruz, Greg Jennings, Jerry Rice, etc. would not be "worth mentioning" if they had the numbers 13 or 14 assigned to them? I think not.

The key word in that was IF. And the List of Recivers ^^^^ only ONE of them is worth talking about. That's Bills WR Johnson cause he had a Decent Year. Other than that, your List is Irrelevant

[TKnight24]

Steve Johnson, that's it. No other Reciever in the NFL that's good has the Number's 13 or 14.
