Man if Moon lets him wear 1 that will be cold. I have been wanting to see someone ball out in #1 in a Titans jersey.

I do hope Moon blesses Ward wearing #1. That would be very cool to see in a Titans jersey in non-kicker form

I doubt it and I wouldnt' want to see it. I hope Ward becomes everything that he can be but the moment he is drafted-   he's an NFL Rookie- not a future hall of famer.    I don't like it that we want to crown a kid right after he's drafted.  He'll have to develop and earn his pro accolades.

Looks like 4, 5 and 7 are the only traditional qb numbers available. 

 

23 is open maybe he will go with something weird. Or does the new number rules not let qbs do that?

Are what is available based on the team website.  Again based on traditional QB numbers.  And 8 will probably be available by the end of the weekend

Shows allen is number 10 and tay martin is 18, i did miss 17 though

I believe I saw he was #7 in high school.

[AvgJoe]

In high school he was #3 in basketball and at Incarnate he was #7. 
 

I would like to see him wear #1. But I didn’t follow the team when Moon was an Oiler and I would not ever want to see a player wear Steve’s #9 so I get it if people that loved Moon don’t want that.

I like #7. Its his own number, "lucky", he's worn it before, kinda looks like a 1.. and there's no real former QB trauma here with that number. Volek, Mett, Gabbert were the only ones to wear it and none were here long enough or played enough to make me hate it.

 

Mickey Mantle wore #7, so did Ronoldo, Barry Bonds, Elway, Vick (who he said he used to idolize)

That's fair.  The website does show those.  The team app doesn't.

I would stay away from #1.  That puts pressure on him that he doesn't need.  Plus, what if he really ended up living up to his draft status.  What are you going to do, re-retire the number?

 

I'd like to see him take a # that hasn't been worn recently and isn't retired.  The problem is most have been worn.  Of the numbers listed, 4 was worn by Ryan Fitzpatrick, 5 by Kerry Collins and 7 by Zach Mettenberger.  I'd say 7 would make the most sense since he wore it before.
