Some 80s still look really good on WRs...81, 89, etc.

But it's crazy how bad a #86 looks on a receiver, typically.

In 10-20 years, you'll probably see receivers go back to 80s because teams will be retiring numbers 10-19 for their QBs and WRs.

That or they allow single digit numbers, in which case WRs in the 80s will be extinct.

Retiring numbers has always been a dumb logic. Retire the name but not the number.

That's what the name on the ring of honor is for. Retiring a number should only be done for the every best player in your franchise history. 1 each for Offense and Defense.

I wouldn’t necessarily cap it. But they really should exemplify what that franchise is. Like they need to sort of transcend to being synonymous with a franchise. 
 

Like the Eagles have an absurd amount at nine.

The two that are obvious picks for deserving this are Bednarik (#60) and Dawkins (#20). From there the only good cases are #15 for Steve Van Buren who was a dominant back in his day, lead us to two championships. And #92 for Reggie, had he not left and get associated with Green Bay so much he’d be an obvious one, he’s a lock for greatest DLineman of all time. Led one of the greatest defenses of all time in an era that would truly define a large part of the fan base and franchise.

Retire the name lol? So no Manning can ever play for the Colts anymore. Logic.

By name I mean the athletes. Put them in the team's HOF or football HOF. Do not retire the number.
