Nailed it
didn't realize this was posted so I posted it in the Hollywood thread. I believe Rossi may have said this a few weeks ago.In jersey number news, the Ravens have the new UDFA K Jake Verity on the roster as #15... so you know Hollywood about to take up #5.
LOVE THE CHANGE FOR HOLLYWOOD
that said... if 5 is available then 55 and 73 should probably be up for consideration at least in a few years
Nailed it
Random thought: If we look at Oweh like he was our 2nd round pick after Bateman being our 1st rounder, how do you feel about him now??
I think it should be. You don’t retire every number of a great player IMO, ray, Ed, and JO weren’t just arguably among the best, they arguably are THE best, and with ray and Ed there aren’t many arguments to support any player being better than them at their positions. And beyond that, JO and ray were the first real ravens.idk about that - flacco was a great raven who had a great run for us - but 55 and 73 can be legit be considered amongst the best to do it at their position... you can't say that about joe
and it's possible that we do see guys in 55 and 73 in the future - but it's probably too soon for that if they are ever brought back into circulation
as far as im concerned this is the hierarchy of numbers in order...
52
20
75
...
55
73
92
5
if 92's in circulation, i dont see why 5 shouldnt be...
the only question is whether 73 and 55 should be too
Well, there has been so much hype about Ben Cleveland, it worries me.Ben Cleveland’s jersey looks touuuuugh in black, if he plays up to half of his hype and is a stud of a G, that’s a Jersey I might buy.
I go to the nfl shop and customize jerseys to see what they’d look like lol.
i agree but i think sizzle and yanda should fet their jersey retired for sure.. yanda kept this oline afloat for yeaaaaars. Played through injuries after injuries... sizzle, just a mf Raven at heart like he was born to play here. I mean he even hates brady lol. Smarter than any player that currently plays his position and id take prime suggs over miller and mack tbh. Shit even belicheck praises himI think it should be.

And as much as I rock with sizzle and yanda, they aren’t in the same universe as the big 3. Just 2 different tiers of players entirely and if you retire those numbers then by the time you become an old franchise you won’t have many numbers to give out lol

For fans, its mostly they buy jerseys with names/numbers on them, and then the players change their numbers.I really do not get this number shit. Who gives a fuck? Obviously, you guys. Should retire the names instead.
