Remind me, who were 6 and 15? 

I'm thinking 6 was Testaverde but I could be wrong.

(probably gonna feel dumb if you answer with a name I should have known)

6 has nothing to do with a Panthers, I’ve just never found it to be a great number for a quarterback. Vinny (a guy I liked, all things considered) was 16. 
 

Again, none of these are dealbreakers, I’m just enjoying being a part of this chat lol.

Heh 😄

My "irrational" dislikes are the numbers 1-6. I feel like those should be on specialists like kickers and punters. Quarterbacks should be 7-19.

I'm okay with single digits on defensive backs but not a fan of them on linebackers.

I honestly think retiring numbers is overrated.

I prefer the "selective allocation" method of honoring a player.  The Detroit Lions had a hall of fame CB named Lem Barney who wore #20.  They let Billy Sims wear the number.  Then after taking it out of circulation, they let Barry Sanders wear the number.  They had a cool retirement ceremony where it was retired in all 3 players names.  But I would rather see it selectively allocated to players in the future.  The Cowboys do that with #88.

My view of it changed back when I was going into my senior year of high school.  We had a really good teammate who wore #13 that died suddenly.  Our coach got us together and said that we are going to have a #13 for the upcoming season, and it will be a player that embodies his spirit so we could all see the number live on.  Then the coach handpicked the player that was going to wear the number at the same meeting he told us it was going to happen.  To me it made more sense than locking the number away forever.

Vinny wore 16, as did Weinke and Tony Pike. Stefan LeFors wore 15 in 2005.
