Matt Schaub selects # with Texans

Matt Schaub has decided to stick with #8. That's what he is listed as on the Texans website.

Bad memories for Texans fans associated with that number. But at least they can just have fans tape Shaub's name over Carr's and not have to buy a new jersey.

I would want #19, in honor of Johnny Unitas. It seems not many QBs wear that number for some reason.

I think you answered your own question.

Could be they [b]don't[/b] wear it in honor of Unitas?

Screw that. If I was a QB and I wanted 19, I'd wear it and not think twice. I don't know Unitas or ever will. If it was a guy I was close to, I wouldn't take his number... but who knows??? Maybe the new guy turns out even better than the first one who wore the number and they remember him instead of the old-timer.

Don't know.

Maybe there's an unspoken rule among clubs that you don't wear his number.

Personally, I'd wear it too if I wanted, as Unitas just doesn't mean that much to me...

[color="#FF0000"][b]If I am not mistaken, Bernie Kosar may have been the last good quarterback to
wear the number 19 on his jersey.

He was also the last good quarterback to play for the Browns. ^_^ [/b][/color]

Your'e right...they won't sell as many new jerseys. I'm suprised they didn't offer him an extra million to change numbers. If he weants to be their new "flag ship" he should change numbers.

PS sense when did Johnny Unitas become the gold standard in QB numbers. 13,16,7,..................9 those are good too
