I still prefer that WRs wear numbers in the 80s.

Holy shit, they were called offensive ends. I just had a flash back.

The Browns used to have a great "halfback" in Bobby Mitchell, traded to the Redskins where he became a HOF "flanker"/WR.

At the same time, our "fullback" (before they became primarily blockers) was the great Jim Brown. We all know he's in the Hall.

You can name all the other backfields, but watch some film...I have NEVER seen 2 more exciting backs in one backfield. Plum would throw a "flare pass" to either one & the race was on!

Great memories.

But Ernie Green was a better blocker... as a halfback.

Hey, all kidding aside, 19 is a cool number for a Quarterback. Some great ones wore it. Y.A. Tittie, Frank Tarkington, and I believe Joe Heisman.

I know for sure Walter Ostenak wore #19.

Johnny Unitas wore #19...undoubtedly the best to wear that number. Other HOF to wear 19: Lance Alworth.

Theisman wore #7 with the Redskins. Y.A. Tittle wore #14 with the Giants. Tarkenton wore #10.

Just FYI.
