Some players like Terry Bradshaw and others deserve to have his number retired by the Steelers (I still do not understand why the number of Bradshaw is not retired even if no one has worn the 12 since his retirement), but in football we can not retired too many numbers.

NFL Banned numbers 0 and 00.
Personally I'm okay with 0 and 00. Not sure why the NFL outlawed them.
Retired Numbers should be reserved for the greatest of the great. The Legendary players. Not for the very good. There are only a handful of Steelers who deserve that in my eyes.
We can't just be retiring Jersey Numbers of every solid player that comes around. Heath Miller was good, but that is what he was, a good TE.
A shame they didn't give #84 to somebody shitty. Maybe they're waiting to give it to the first guy who goes on IR.
Or what I would do is reserve it for the next guy named Brown, and fans could just re-use their jerseys. Maybe that's what they're doing.
I have no idea why they got rid of 0 and 00, it's not like it would be that hard to keep track of. Hopefully whoever came up with that idea is dead.
See you Space Cowboy ...
They should have one waterboy wear the #84 jersey and only give water to Ben Roethlisberger.
I am gonna be looking for whatever number PJ Locke is wearing. Might be one of the interesting battles for the final safety spot.
