Lucky 13...maybe

something a little bit on the lighter side to think about... if, and i mean IF, the Phins draft Tua, what number should he wear? he wore 13 at Bama, but that's obviously a sacred number in Phins' lore.

should he ask Marino for permission? should he not even ask and just wear something else? what #? do you care?

and 12 isn't an option either. my personal feeling... 13 is above reproach. if Tua ends up being a Phin, i'd like to see him wear 5 - if that the is the spot he's drafted. of perhaps 10...Tua Ten has a nice ring.

of course, Burrow can wear 9 all day every day for the Phins.

I would assume 13 is off limits, but who knows...maybe Dan gives him permission?

In the end it doesn't matter...just win, baby!

BTW given the way free agency unfolded around the league, I think it is now likely that the Phins stay at 5. Unless they really want Burrow...

Has to be 21. Fitzpatrick was the 20th starter since Marino

I thought they retired Marino's number. If they didn't then let him wear it.
