Who? He was my fucking hero as a kid. Haskins was really respectful in the way he went about it.

Re: Number Seven Belongs To Thiesman

I have no problem with any number that is available including 21. Just do it to be the best you and not because you want to emulate JT or ST

Per Grant Paulsen

Big #Redskins nugget: Joe Theismann says Dwayne Haskins has decided that he wants to wear No. 7. Theismann has given permission to the rookie QB to do so. Told us he just talked to him on the phone.

Good. It's a number. I think it's a sign of a massive ego to be a former player and tell a new player, "You can't wear my number. That was MY number."

Boo-Hoo. You don't play anymore. You don't wear a jersey. Let it go.

Yes, certain exceptions apply (21). But if the only reason you want to "retire" a number is because you were "such an amazing player nobody should ever be allowed to wear that number again".... ? Give me a break.

Re: Number Seven Belongs To Thiesman

If a number is not retired, teams issue them out. It is that simple. If JT has issue with it, it is with the organization and not Haskins. That Haskins asked for JTs permission, was out of respect for Theisman and his contributions to the organization.

Personally, I like the behind the scenes negotiating for jersey numbers. Because it usually turns into a healthy donation by the requester to a worthy charity named by other player. Everybody wins.

Speaking of Montana, he wasn't able to wear Len Dawson's #16 in KC after winning 4 Super Bowls with the 49ers.

Haskins won a Rose Bowl.

Without checking I think Montana was 19 at KC.

Re: Number Seven Belongs To Thiesman

If Haskins is the guy I don’t care what number he wears! This team has way too many issues to worry about about a number.. this team needs to move forward and give the new fans a taste of what us old guys experienced.. it seems like a lifetime ago since the glory days! Part of the issue is looking back and trying to find a connection to the past.. Bruce is here because of his dads past with skins.. lots of folks are here because of past.. that should have nothing To do with it! We need the best football people in this organization regardless of the past.. look at teams around the league that are successful they are bringing in young guys for front office and coaches.. I love what the skins did back in the day but that was then .. this is now
