Should the Ducks start retiring numbers/jerseys?

Not just Mariota's, but is it a can of worms Oregon wants to open? What about Harrington's, Fouts, Darren Thomas? Thomas got us to a national title game.

Too many players in college to eliminate numbers. And some kids really like a certain number if it ain't available what then?

Only retire Heisman winners numbers.

Yeah I'm OK with it if the criteria is very strict. I wouldn't want more than one or maybe two players a decade retiring their numbers. And if that's the case, then there will be much debate who is deserving, blah blah...

Probably best we just don't.

I would say no. I know there are schools that do it. I think with all the kids in school is best to not retire numbers. I realize are great players but leave it to the pros to do it. In regards to being just Heisman winners then eliminate pretty much any defensive players. I don't think that would be fair to them. I know Mariota is worthy consideration but I still say no.

No. That just seems to go against our mantra that the team is bigger than the player.

Isn't there already an Oregon HOF to boot?

And just because Taylor's does it is no reason for the Ducks...

Absolutely not.

I say do a Ring of Ronor inside Autzen to commemorate certain players. You can honor players and their numbers but still leave them open for players to wear.

bingo, does a nice job of showing the program's history without pulling numbers out of rotation

I am torn, but his jersey(s) would look very nice on display near his trophy.

You could still hang his jersey without retiring the number.

Not fair to the defensive player that wears the mate to that number. In this case, Daniels.
