Reason why Allen Hurns chose 17

[DCowboyz]

Respect.

Respect.

Somehow, someone on this board will turn this into a negative thing or a Dez thread. Just wait for it.

I thought maybe he considered his skills to be Dandy.

Not hijacking your thread........

He also said the Jets offered him more money... which means he obviously doesn’t know about the culture in Dallas and that the Cowboys are no longer a desired destination. So I’ve been told.

Maybe he prefers the "country club" atmosphere . . .

Jets are 2-3 years away from competing maybe longer if they can't find a QB.

Dez didn't think to switch his number. We should cut him to make a statement.

I just cant get used to NFL receivers wearing numbers that aren't in the 80s. Yeah, I know its been like 20 years since they started letting them wear numbers in the teens, but it still doesn't look right to me.

We should. Did you see his numbers compared to Jordy Nelson in the past 3 seasons?

 

[JW82]

Respect.

heard that. May get his jersey now.

Fixed it for you

In other words "goodie, I don't have to coach him up". Lol

It actually goes back much further than that. I don't recall a lot of them, but some I do recall are Lance Alworth (wore #19 in the 1960's and 70's), and Bob Hayes (#22 in 60's & 70's), Harold Carmichael (#17 in 70's and 80's), Paul Wrfield (#42 I think - 60's and 70's) and Cliff Branch (#21 in the 70's). I assume there were others who I may not remember because they were less prominent players.

This true, but for the bulk of my youth--with only a few exceptions--anyone who caught the ball on offense (other than a RB) wore a number in the 80s. It still doesn't look entirely right. And I can't get used to the new fangled helmets and facemasks either. CHANGE IS BAD!!!!! GRRRR!!!

 

[cowboy_ron]

Dez has tarnished the once great "#88" and he didn't want it to rub off on him.

Hahahhahh....right. Didnt' someone just try and convince us that was the case lol?

Grew up in Miami , which isn't that far from Parkland.

My barber told me this today. I absolutely love it! I already have lots of love and respect for this guy, class act and very nice tribute. Let’s hope he honors those 17 every weekend in the end zone but even if he doesn’t just the fact that he thought of this is very cool.

Who wouldn't want to play for the awesome rad cowboys!?! They have the dakster, and zeke and thangs, and all of that other good stuff and thangs.
