From a rules perspective, I'm not sure what the difference between a QB, RB, and WR is.

I've seen a QB-numbered player split out wide at the snap and receive a pass.
I've seen an RB-numbered player take a snap, drop back, and throw a pass.
I've seen a WR-numbered player line up behind the QB and receive a handoff.

As far as I can tell, the only rule really preventing Parker from being designated a "QB" and wearing #9 (while performing exactly the same job) is the limitation on the number of QBs that can dress.

Maybe he should wear No. 5, since he was the 5th pick.

Would like to see No. 3 on him, but of course Rosen has it and wasn't he No. 3 at UCLA as well?  Hard to give it unless Tua gives up the $$$

5 for me

The one number I didn't want him to take. Even Joe Rose said ...  isn't that number jersey they give everyone until they get a number? Either way ... here's hoping he is the second coming of Garo Yepremian

Garo was the definition of those early 70s Dolphins - the exact opposite of sexy, kind of clumsy in some ways, yet did his job on a team of misfits that somehow managed to beat the hell out of everyone else to stamp their unique place in history.

I'll take that. Cheesy

Sadly, he is most remembered for that botched FG that was ran back for a TD during the Superbowl.

Going back to the retirement of numbers thing... here in Australia numbers are retired for a year, but then revived. There are so many kids who grow up idolizing their heroes (or in some cases parents) who want to wear the same numbers as a tribute. #23 was nothing until Michael Jordan, then everyone gravitated to it and it became magic over a number of sports - in Australia, Shane Warne for cricket, Andrew McLeod for AFL, followed by Buddy Franklin and many others who followed - it has gained a bit of a status for Aboriginal players here to have that particular number. We have legends but the number never stops with them, it's inspiration for the next generation to carry on.

It seems odd in a way that NFL with much bigger team lists and history, will retire a number forever. Yes it seems noble and impressive at first, but really is it? Having flags and tributes at the stadiums for retired players is one thing, having their names and achievements on a numbered locker for future players who share that number should mean so much more for those in the years and decades that follow. It doesn't stop the legend, it builds on it in a positive way.

You know what I would love to see? (although I know it will never happen). Marino un-retire his #13 and present it to Tua as a changing of the guard.

I'd want to wait and see before this, but cool concept.  If Tua ends up being a massive Ryan-Leaf-esque flop, then no thank you.

Eh, I don’t really like it but it’s just a number. Won’t matter at all if succeeds.

Hard to to top the legend that is Garo though..

I hope he is a better passer than Garo was.   If you get this reference, you are old like me.

Yeh ... but not in a Bill Buckner kind of way. It's a funny story on the way to winning the Super bowl and a undefeated season. As he said after the game ... "This is the first time the goat of the game is in the winner's locker room."  Cheesy

Oh yeah, he can laugh about it now. If that was in overtime or cost them the game, he would've retired.
