Likely Jersey Number for UM freshman QB Denard Robinson

Looking at the UM football roster for 2009, there's always some doubling up of jersey numbers. For example, QB Tate Forcier wears No. 5 on offense and DB Vlad Emilien wears No. 5 on defense.

These are the available "quarterback jersey numbers" available to incoming freshman QB Denard Robinson:

No. 1
(Personally I'd love to see a QB wear this number, but I know this is a sore subject for many fellow UM fans because of the Braylon Edwards scholarship and short-term memory issues.)

No. 6
Donovan Warren wears No. 6 on defense. That leaves an offensive player with an opportunity to wear it.

No. 10
Steven Threet left. This number appears to be available for an offensive and defensive player in 2009.

No. 14
Of course, Morgan Trent graduated. Number appears to be available for an offensive and defensive player in 2009.

No. 19
Zac Combs has it for FS position. Leaves open opportunity for an offensive player. If Mr. Jason Forcier comes back, maybe he'd like it back?

Personally I'd love to see Denard wear No. 1.

But I believe it will be No. 10 or No. 6.

Thoughts?

1 would be sick and fits D Rob perfectly, but since that's not gunna happen. What about 0 so people behind him know they have zero chance of catching him or 6 the number that represents the points he just burned you for, if your able to see through the dust while pulling up your pants.

Huh? I don't believe any QB has ever worn #1. For the past 30 seasons, it's been worn exclusively by WRs.

It's been mainly worn by a WR since Anthony Carter 1979-1982, however.

But has any WR on the current roster actually earned the right to wear the sacred #1 jersey under the "Braylon Rules?"

I know the QB-ing made the WR's look mediocre last year, but I really don't see anyone stepping out and seperating himself from the rest of the field.

He is so fast he can catch his own deep bombs. He will be Michigan's next best QB-WR combo by himself.

Well, in part because if Denard is ever going to play defense as occasionally speculated, having a number worn by a defensive player such as 6 is out of the question.
