What Numbers Should Be Retired?

It's great that Bobby Mitchell's number has been retired,although late so my question is what other Redskins legends should have their numbers immortalized? how bout-Sonny Jurgenson[no.9]..Riggins[no.44]..Larry Brown[no.43]..Charlie Taylor[no.42]I know that every number can't be retired but some should.

To me the no brainers would be 9, 28, 44, 43, and 81 to join 33 and 49

That list seems accurate to me. Just hope I get to see someone similar to that list wear a Redskins uni in my lifetime. Chase Young appears to be our most recent hope.

To me the no brainers would be 9, 28, 44, 43, and 81 to join 33 and 42I completely agree with your entire list.

I do, however, have one minor correction...33 has already been Retired by the Redskins years ago

I would hate to see anyone wear 21 again. I know Sean Taylor was only with the Redskins for a short while but his future greatness was evident.

I also think that the numbers of the great linemen Russ Grimm (68) and Joe Jacoby (66) should be retired.

I completely agree with your entire list.

Right that's what I meant when I said those numbers to join 33 and 49 as retired

Should there be levels of honor? We have the ring of fame already, I think retiring a jersey should be held for only the elite of the elite. I think it should be more selective than the ring of honor, if it's the same list as those in the ring of honor then I'm not sure what the point would be.

28 Darrell Green
33 Sammy Baugh
43 Larry Brown
49 Bobby Mitchell
68 Russ Grimm

There are others who were great but I think to retire a jersey there needs to have been a big contribution over a long period of time.

I'm really on the fence about Riggins and Monk and you could probably convince me to go with it. But I'd be equally as comfortable letting their jerseys stay unofficially retired. That's where I think Sean Taylor should be too. Boy did I love him but retiring his jersey would be more like a nod to what we thought he'd become rather than what he actually was. He was great for three and a half years, especially in his third and fourth seasons. But he wasn't with us long enough.

I wouldn't put Doug, Ryp or Theismann in. The only QB I'd consider besides Baugh would be Jurgensen, because his numbers were ridiculous compared to the rest of the league at the time. But the Redskins sucked for many of his years, so how impactful was he?

Personally I don't know how you can be on the fence with Riggo, he's an easy lock IMO. Hall of Famer, SB champ, SB MVP, one of the best backs of all time. Just an iconic player on and off the field.

I'd be OK with Sean Taylor's jersey staying unofficially retired. He was so special I just don't want anyone else to wear it.

I'm glad Schneed agrees with me on retiring Russ Grimm's number. To me, his accomplishments as a member of the fabled Hogs represent what the Gibbs championship years were all about.

Riggo also has one of the most iconic SB plays in both Redskins and SB history. He definitely deserves to have his number retired.
