    Just said it on NFL LIVE. Not wanting to wear Namath's #12. But will be going with #8 when he was at Cal.



    Thoughts?

    As a Namath fan boi, I am so glad to hear that. Joe is our legend. Glad Rodgers chose #8

    #8 is a very lucky number according to my shaman.

    OK, now Rodgers is less of a douche than I thought he was.

    What? I thought he was a terrible person? Surely I figured he would take 12.

    *roll eyes*

    Very respectful of Rodgers. I was fine with him wearing #12, but now that he is wearing #8, I think it actually is the right thing to do. 8 will look cool too.

    Ironic Aaron is wearing #8, since Aaron cost us Elijah Moore and our 32nd overall pick in the 1st round of the 2024 draft!

    Honestly I’d prefer 12!

    Never liked the number 8 on a jersey, always loved 12 for a QB

    And I hate the idea of retiring numbers….I’m bummed that the Jets retired 12 and 13 both…two of my favorite jersey numbers

    Well I always wore #8 on my jerseys, but I guess I'll be okay with Rodgers taking it.:p

    Kidding aside, it's a classy move, not taking Joe up on his offer. It signals AR's desire to be a Jet is sincere IMO, and he's doing the right things to fit in.

    Welcome aboard Mr. Rodgers! We're now ready for take off!

    The nerve of this guy taking Jets legend Browning Nagle’s number!

    Having Namath’s number on these Arena football jerseys would’ve been a travesty.

    I was talking to my dad yesterday and he thought it was a very classy thing to do. It might get him even more goodwill with some real old time fans.

    And how do you know this? Do you have first hand insider knowledge on this? And even if so, since Yogi's dead exactly how would he be 'rolling in his grave' without being impaled on a rotisserie spit?
