Sean Taylor Retired Number Petition

[EternalEnigma21]

point is, not signing the petition is stating your opinion enough... trying to spark a debate about how you don't feel a man that has just passed stands up to your standards enough to be honored by the organization he represented is unnecessary.

I don't think anyone should squable right now... I don't think there is anyone out there that does not think this is a total tragedy...

There is more than one person who feels that ALOT of past skins deserve this honor. I think it is more appropriate that it be unofficially retired as they have done with alot of the greats of the past.

I agree this is the best way, unofficial retirement.

I disagree with just about everything Irish post but this is a Redskin chat site and he stated his opinion which other people hold. I'm not sure what they should do with his number at this point but if they did retire his jersey because of what happened I have no complaints. It not fair to jump on every person who does not agree with everyway people have posted to honor Sean Taylor.

You're right, but before I responded I went and looked through his posts and I just felt there was an antagonistic air to alot of them in the last couple of days, and took offense.

Sorry for jumping on you Irish... you're as entitled as anyone to express opinons freely, and I'm a bit of an ass for trying to stop you...

My personal opinion is that he was great from the moment he suited up in that first hall of fame game and impacted this team more than any other player in over a decade, and his career is complete. It may not be long enough for you, but it is a complete body of work, so when you say he MAY have had a great career, it feels like you're penalizing his work for his death, just as you seem to feel we're over glorifying his work because of his death.

I do agree that there are many other redskins that deserve the honor, but Right now I cant imagine going after a signature overprice free agent a la dieon and having him don the jersey...
