Absolutely not. His career doesn't even remotely warrant retiring his jersey. I like Taylor as much as the next person but people have put him into this class that he simply isn't. It's the same reason why Terrell Davis will never see the Hall of Fame. Accidents happen and it's unfortunate, but there isn't a reason to retire his number. I'm fine with the Ring of Honor and that's where it should stop at.

When will we retire Dallas Sartz's number?

Completely agree. His number shouldn't be retired, but I like that they've waited a while.

28 will probably be the next officially retired #.
