    He already took #44. Little late to the conversation.

    I say who cares what number he wears. I don't think anyone would have any problems with someone wanting to wear number 28. If you compare numbers between George and Johnson, you'll actually see that Johnson had the better statistical career. Johnson has almost a whole yard per carry average higher than George. So far Johnson has 1,000 less caries than George had in his career and is less than 2,000 yards behind him (in 2 less years). Johnson is/was the bigger receiving threat out of the backfield.

    The only reason I bring this up is because the argument could be made that Johnson has had a better career (statistically speaking) compared to George, yet I doubt anyone would care too much if someone wants to wear 28. George isn't in the hall of fame so this should be a moot point.

    Eddie got the 1st on 3rd and short, MeJ got us 3rd and out..... I am a huge homer, so take it with a grain of heavy salt when comparing a Titan legend with Every Coaches Dream!

    The #27 and George goes way beyond stats. I have no problem with Cobb wearing it..he should earn it though not just have it handed to him..28 who cares stats or not.
