A player on offense or defense is great until they get that number. Then once they get that worthless number, they either opt out or arekicked off the team or become irrelevant and they disappear into nothing and are completely nonproductive on the field.

Not a better example of this and then our two number seven this year

Number 7 is cursed and I wish that tradition would go away

7 and 18 need to be dropped......you recognize players as captains and annual awards.

Time to move on.....

Yea it’s played out.

What gate worse is double numbers…
Then they have to out another jersey in someone who plays special teams bc the other guy with same number
Is also playing…

Never understood why people care so much. Why does the number thing bother you so much?

Every time the team struggles on the field, you guys start crying about jersey numbers and a bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with the outcome of the game.

It’s a stupid tradition

Just sets a player up for people to say it’s a stupid tradition because it is

I had the same thoughts pre season. Looks like the curse is alive and well.

It's not for us, it's for the players.

The players see it as a huge honor and something they work for.

It's not for us fans

I wish I had a penny every time a supposed grownup complained about the traditions that are for the players. But hey..... keep bitching and maybe they'll send out a fan vote.

There is nothing on the planet less interesting than jersey numbers. If the players like the tradition then that’s fine with me. It’s not something that should interest a fan.

Number 7 has taken away Will’s ability to run block and Perkins ability to change the game.

It shouldn’t be given out every year. It should only go to a special proven player

I've been saying this shite needs to stop for many years.

Its frigging numbers only and has nothing to do with performance.

#7 when they gave it to that WR transfer from Texas Tech... LOL
