Will fuller will be rocking # 3

I don't like the new number rule changes.

Why does it matter to you what number a player wears?
Talk about a trivial thing to care enough about to dislike.

Have you ever watched or followed HS or college ball? There’s no difference. None.

I’ve never heard anybody complain about numbers when watching those sports. But somehow NFL players suddenly wearing the numbers they donned in HS and college is a problem.

I don’t get it.

At one time receivers couldn’t wear numbers in the teens. Now it’s common place and nobody complains about not liking it.

Same thing will happen with this change.

From the standpoint of a viewer, the NFL had a very easy to understand number system. I have never met a fan who openly stated that they want a system that resembles NCAA football in any capacity. I don’t necessarily hate the change, but I have no idea what demand prompted it. I think it is kind of dumb to have WRs, RBs, TEs, LBs and DBs all wearing QB numbers, but that’s just me.
 
I fail to see the advantage. No matter how you slice it, it is still 99 numbers for 53 players. It is just a marketing plot to sell more jerseys.
 
I'm ok with changes when they make sense but changes just for the heck of it I don't like. It will create some confusion for the officials according to Brady so we'll see how it goes. Last thing we need is for the NFL to go with high school rules.

I’m curious as to what that confusion would be. The only thing the number changes do is maybe make it harder for the viewer to determine what position is on the field. But from the officials perspective, off the top of my head, the only time that matters is when you’re determining who the ineligible receivers are. But the OL numbers haven’t changed, so there’s no difference with that.
