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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
