Cobb wearing 27? (unofficially retired Titans numbers)

IMO, they should let Cobb wear #27..

It's not a retired number, and honestly.. if he thinks he can shoulder the load of taking on that number for the Tennessee Titans, then more power to him. Especially seeing that George was a role model for him, it could be great for this franchise.. and a way for it to move on past clinging onto the "glory days" and moving onto the future

Retiring numbers, especially for non HOF players, is kind of silly to me.

I think it's cool for younger players to take a previously used number, and try to live up to it.

They should keep #89, 27, and even #9 free, IMO

These players are not "retired number" worthy. I could see the only possible exception being McNair, but to me, that's questionable.

 

what value is there in leaving #27 alone for years? George was a great back for a few years.. why does that justify leaving that number alone for all eternity? If he has the gumption to dare take that number on as a RB for the Titans, then good for him.

Jared Cook wore #89.. nobody thinks less of Wycheck, or that number because of it.

 

I can be ok with #9.. it's a number in the 1-10 category.. only QBs/K/P can use them, and there is never a lack of numbers there. IMO, you have to be Earl Campbell good to get your number retired. George was a good player, but not All-Time good by any standard.

 

there's no telling if anyone we draft will be worth a damn. Sankey, Harper, and Chris Henry have been our highest RB picks not named Chris Johnson.. and they both have been/were horrible.

Would it be ok to let Sankey wear it, if he wanted to, because he was the first RB taken? Sankey has been a huge disappointment so far.
