I sure AF hope not. Tress has earned every bit of field cred this team ever gave him. Our only consistently elite player on a team filled with clowns and is also one of our most tenured players. Who the heck is JD to even consider asking Mr. Way to have his number? Tress is the one who make jersey #5 significant. And now a friggin rookie who has never even played a down for us feels entitles to take his number?? FuggggThat. Reminds me of how Haskins got to wear Joey T's semi-retired number bc he was Snyders pet pick. (Yes, I know Haskins "asked" but I'm sure Joe felt pressured to give it up.) Let JD give credibility to a new number, make it his new lucky one. In other words, let him "EARN" it. JMO, YMMV 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a relatively impressive achievement. I do! I would explain it but I feel like this is the better outcome hahaha 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) I think @Llevronwas just referencing how every action Daniels was taking before the draft was being interpreted as him wanting to go elsewhere because he hated us lol, so the fact that he finally has a public appearance without the Commanders hat he’s been constantly seen in since draft night, that must mean he’s back to hating us!! And none of us are talking about it!!1! lol if my interpretation is right, it just didn’t land bc it requires realizing he’s referencing those two stupid ongoing twitter jokes, for his to make sense edit: I see my phone didn’t update the thread and we are now 3 hours past this event and it’s already been talked to death lol Edited May 5 by Conn 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that much, hate to say. A Punter can’t make a jersey number “significant” to me. It’s just not possible. Maybe performing at an elite level during a Super Bowl run would do it, I doubt we find out. Even #5 I still associate more with the horrors of McNabb than I do with Way’s very good punting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s interesting, I really don’t have any memories of McNabb and don’t associate anything to him at all. He played what, 10 games? 12? And then was benched? Or something like that? I also have literally no memory of the number Wentz wore. I knew McNabb wore 5 because he tortured us with the Eagles for a decade. maybe it’s because I just repress bad memories, and maybe I need therapy for that. But I don’t have any association of McNabb and #5. I don’t actually care what number he wears. I kindof would like him to wear a double digit number in the hopes having 2 numbers on his jersey makes him look bigger… 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think of McNabb being with the team either. Dang I hated it when I heard that trade announced. I have #5 nightmares from Heath Shuler. We all thought the new offensive minded coach drafting a top QB was a new beginning of power in the NFCE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a big time fan of Tress - one of the rare highlights of the team on the field and on top of that, he’s a genuinely kind, funny dude, and entertaining interviewer that owns a board game company. And yet, before the talk started about Daniels’ jersey number, I don’t think I could have told you Way wears #5… Even worse, my wife bought me his jersey for Xmas, lol. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 If Tress gives him 5, the question is, what number is tress? Can a punter be doubt 0? Because that would be cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wit33 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Allowing punters and kickers to wear single-digit numbers is one of the more lucrative opportunities for those players. If I were running a team, I'd reserve single-digit numbers for prime time positions and assign punters and kickers numbers in the 30s or 40s instead (not sure what the number rules are for those dudes though lol). If I were Daniel's mom, I'd be all over social media calling out the Way family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is 0 different than 00 though? I could make an argument.... Is 1 is different than 11. I get the math part of it is the same, but football jerseys?
