whatdrought Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I know many don't care, but I didn't include a don't care option cause I don't care if you don't care. Mostly I am just curious to see how other people feel about it cause I don't have a clue... I hate it, but it seems like most like it? For context: Do you like a CB wearing #7? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetermansRedemption Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) I voted no, but it’s pretty inconsequential for me. I really just didn’t see a point to it. To think they actually devoted time to discussing the topic seems like a waste of time. Edited April 25, 2021 by PetermansRedemption 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a mole hill of a topic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally care a lot and dislike the rule, but I get that it has no bearing on the actual game. People that act like it doesn't matter at all (not you, but I've seen it multiple times) would be signing a different tune if the Bills rolled out an ugly new uni. Looks do matter.

Don Otreply Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I voted no, reason being is that it is a change that achieves nothing more than rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic would achieve, its change for the sake of change..., that and the damn refs will Fu h k up even more calls by being confused about who plays what position... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I think it makes QBs lives more difficult and makes the league, players and teams more money in jersey sales. Other than that, I could care less. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on the jersey sales. Have you ever played QB and tried to determine the Mike? The fact that LBs and DBs can wear the same numbers now can make a QBs presnap reads a bit more difficult. It’s not rocket science by any means, but it’ll add a different wrinkle for the QBs in their preparation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybe Someday Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I don’t care if a DB or WR want to wear #7 but it’ll be odd seeing a DT wearing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I see it as no different than what they faced in college. I don't think it will affect much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care a LOT that you don’t care if I care! I am horribly offended! Having said that, I think the laws of physics have proven that if you wear #1 you become taller and run faster. If you wear #99 you take up more space. How can anyone refute that! It’s science! (Maybe....) I don’t really care, but if I had to pick one, I don’t like it. I’m an old fart and don’t like the players running the NBA. I like a lot of traditions, and the NFL is not college or high school football. .

Doc Brown Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I never gave it much thought until now but the thing I appreciated about the jersey number restrictions is there was a certain degree of professionalism about it compared to college. Like having to go from casual clothes in a lecture hall to a suit in an office. Then there's the sympathetic side of me who feel for people that shelved out $120 for a Lamb/Hopkins/Ramsey etc. jersey before last season.

eball Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 The players wanted it, it’s as simple as that. It’s not going to have any significant impact on the game despite what Tommy Boy says. I don’t really care one way or the other but if you make me pick I’d say I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd give that many college QB's credit. Let's not forget that Bryce Petty learned how to read defensive fronts playing Madden while on the Jets roster.
