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.

      It's still CJ by a wide margin.  BY has closed the gap, but the gap is still considerably large.  Let's not forget CJ was without basically ALL of his weapons in this last game against the Patriots, and I'm pretty sure he had an injury.  BY lost to that same Pats team by like 40 points.  In fairness, a good bit of that was due to the defense.  That said, BY was completely incapable of keeping us in the game.  Mistake free football does not always equal good football.  He still had a bad game.

      Playing QB in this league is tough.  I can't hate on a man's work ethic without knowing exactly what it is.  From everything I've read about him, I seriously doubt his work ethic has dropped.  He had 2 concussions in 2 years, has his OL downgraded, got a different OC, and lost his best weapons due to injury in these short 2 years after his rookie year.  Throw that in with teams having more film on him and the drop-off makes sense.  Maybe he needs to change what he does in the offseason to adapt better, but I doubt he has an issues with work ethic.
