OT: Bucs QB Tom Brady still upset with 'very pointless' jersey number changes

[Tango Two]

I find it annoying in college with weird numbers like a #4 on the DL or #0 at QB but now it's the NFL too:


Brady has played professional football for 21 seasons with linebackers wearing 40-59 and 90-99, and defensive backs wearing 20-49. Linemen were limited to wearing 50-79 and 90-99. Numbering made identifying defenders easier, and after more than two decades of experience, the change has rocked Brady's world.

I agree with him

a DL shouldn’t be wearing #7

 

[DJ Spanky]

I agree, it's a stupid rule that accomplishes exactly what?

I understand where he is coming from but it is about time the NFL passed a rule that favors the defense

 

[Bleem Phuppert]

Isn't everyone not on Brady's team at the line of scrimmage, by definition, "on defense"?

Traditional numbering systems are fine, changing them is fine... whatever. But Brady talks too much.

Raheem Orr wearing number 1 is still something I love. Single digit DEs are dudes.
