Haha. Deleted my post after I read the first few sentences of the post. I'm not sure how I skipped over that before.

Tavares King should have his head examined.

We had another WR number 15 that was an UDFA. Last year, I think. Was it Orton?

Can't remember, King has a chance to stick tho. He must've been living under a rock for the last four years.

Yeah. But at least all the Tebow and Marshall jerseys are still good. They just need to take off the nameplate.

Should just cross out Marshall, then put Tebow underneath and cross it out and put King. And when he's replaced just cross out his name and put the next. Just keep recycling it.

He's hoping King will make us forget Marshall & Tebow ever had the number.

While it is true Tebow was a bad passing QB, and his fans are ridiculous, I don't think we should be looking down on him like we do BMarsh.

Tim was a stand up, good heart-ed kid who gave his all every week. Maybe he sucked...but he left it all on the field.

Q Smith jerseys are flying off the shelves. I might even have to get me one of those

38 seems like an odd number for a RB.

Ahh, you are right. I was trying to think of a few RBs that had that number and I couldn't think of any.

Good call.

Walter Payton wore 34 so did Thurman Thomas, Herschel Walker, Joe Perry and Ricky Williams, Jerome Bettis wore 36, Tony Dorsett wore 33 along with Roger Craig, Jim Brown wore 32 as did Marcus Allen, Ricky Watters, O.J. Simpson, Franco Harris and Edgerrin James, Jamal Lewis wore 31, Shaun Alexander wore 37, Steven Jackson wore 39 which was also worn by Larry Csonka, Terrell Davis of course wore 30...Gerald Riggs wore 37 and 44 same with John Riggins who wore 44.

My point, I don't think that 38 is all that strange, granted a lot of great running backs wore twenty-something numbers, but so have a number of backs in the thirties.
