If we draft a QB, what number should he wear?

Last year 3 rookie WR's took QB numbers 10,11,12. Clausen has #2, Moore has #3, both Kasay and Baker take up 4 and 7. If loyd comes back then 8 is gone. No one want's Jakes cursed #17.

So out of what's left, what would you prefer the QB's number to be?

Let's post it like this:

Newton: #1/#9

Gabbert: #18/#19

Just for the record, I'm not for drafting a QB, but since it's a possibility and I'm going to be buying a jersey, I've been thinking about what number they would wear if we selected one of them.

Numbers like that just don't seem to match a rushing QB with a big arm. #!5 maybe, but nothing past that.

It is a new era. What number was successful back then may not be a numner that can be successful in 2011.

Get your head out of the past. Football has changed. #19 just won't cut it in today's league.

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
