iknowcool Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 1 hour ago, pf9 said: As Brady is considered by many to be the best NFL player of all time, I think it would be a grand gesture if his #12 was retired league-wide. The Raiders, who normally don't retire numbers, can simultaneously retire the number for Ken Stabler, since #12 would be out of circulation for all teams now. Players who are still wearing #12 would be grandfathered until they themselves retire. Hell no. Brady might be the GOAT but only 3 athletes have their number retired league-wide (at least in the US) and that's Robinson, Gretzky, and Russell. I'm not too familiar with Gretzky outside of how insanely dominant he was, but Robinson and Russell's influence goes beyond the sport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL is the last big 4 league yet to retire a number league-wide. Brady is the perfect candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rodgers played next year he and others currently wearing #12 would be grandfathered like when MLB retired 42, the NHL retired 99, and the NBA retired 6.

Somewhere he can bring Gronk. Why would Brady switch to Tight End? Or did you mean Kyle Brady?????😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL also has many more players per team than any of those other leagues. Retiring a number leaguewide isn't as big of a deal. I agree if any number were to be retired, 12 would probably be the first, but I don't want it to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see any hints about playing again. My take is that he’s not getting into the booth until NEXT season - but I’m less inclined on that after I heard his interview, where he said he wants to study the upcoming job and spend more time with his kids. I still think if a playoff contending team suffers an injury at QB sometime around Thanksgiving, he’d take the call and be suited up in a few weeks - but this does seem real. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
