I dont think I understand your point???

Precisely.

I don't think he was making an argument just noting the history.

I forgot also, Paul Horning was drafted as a quarterback out of Notre Dame. He also was Green Bay's kicker a for a few years. That is how he held the single season scoring record for a long time.

Other way back oddities are former Saint QB Billy Kilmer playing primarily as a RB for the 49ers in a 1961 shotgun offense. One of my earliest football memories was the 1965 Colts. Unitas went out with injury, Backup Cuozzo went out with injury, no practice squads. 9-3-1 they had to win a final game to win the conference championship. Tom Matte a RB who had not played QB since college five years before was forced into starting. He led them to a thrilling 20-17 win. Next the Packers. It took 10 minutes into the second overtime before Don Chandler had a bad field goal called good by the referees to win. It was so clearly a bad call that the following year is when goal posts were required to be 20' high and painted yellow. It was really odd seeing a #41 at QB in big time games.

----hehe, two people post the same while I made sure I had my memory correct.

Well, with all these ambigous generalities being thrown around, I don't see anyone making a point any more. For these history buffs, are you for the league allowing Bush to have his number, are you for doing away with restrictions on numbers, do you like restrictions on numbers, what? I like history as much as the next guy, but at some point you wanna make a point right? That's what the first half of this thread was about. Sorry I didn't catch the changing winds.

Perhaps if you would read the whole thread, as opposed to jumping on someone's case, your world, and mine would be a much better place.

Also, Paul Hornung went into the Hall of Fame as a halfback, no matter how many hats he wore.

I did read the whole thread, I just didn't keep track of who posted what once the rambling started. :roll:

Next line:

Sssssoooo, exactly what side of the fence do you fall? :roll:

Are you just trying to pick a fight? The man is saying that if Reggie is allowed allotment to use 5, that it would be a good thing for marketing and notoriety of the first RB to wear a single digit in recent years.

He is also saying that its going to be a good thing to see a Saints jersey around the country, regardless of the number. Therefore he is saying that he thinks its a good thing if Bush changes the number for the attention the franchise would get by it, however if it doesnt happen its going to be great seeing Saints jerseys all across the country.

Sometimes, if you just take a breath and read the things people post instead of quickly assuming you know more than everyone else and calling them out lots of unintelligent commentary is kept to one's self.
