Though I have been lurking a while and have said a couple comments, this is my first fan-post, so go easy on me...
I noticed during Friday's game that Moreno was wearing the number 27. I am just curious to know if anyone else finds this distasteful and/or disrespectful to the memory of Darrent Williams. I understand that the number is not retired, so technically, Moreno has every right to select that number. Does this bother any one else?
I appreciate your comments and feedback.
EDIT: thanks for the comments gently correcting my ignorance. The poll has been updated accordingly.

Apparently you didn't hear
Moreno checked with DWs family and got their approval before asking for that number. There is nothing disrespectful about it. He is honoring DW and I believe they came from the same school.
thank you for the clarification.
i had not heard he spoke with the family.
i take back everything i said.
yeah the stipulation was that he has to spend a couple hours a month vounteering

Maybe you could amend your poll to include an option:
He asked DW’s Mom, so it’s a classy way to honor Williams

IMHO
it is just a number. Darrent was the man behind the number for his time with the Broncos. He should be remembered for who he was and what he did, not for what number he wore.
On a side note, I really don’t get into this retiring numbers things. It is at the end of the day just a number.
I agree
Honoring a player and a number is fine, but retire a number and you soon run out of numbers, or you create such a high requisite that few players can attain that level. The Broncos have had too many players in their history to shun any of them IMO.

To be Honest when someone says #27 I always think of Steve Atwater
He would always lay the wood on people.
maybe Moreno
will lay the wood on opposing defenses!!!!!!!!!!! LET’S HOPE!!!!!!!!!!!
Take my advice, I'm not using it !!!
Steve Atwater
This is and has been Steve Atwaters number. As much as I felt for Dwill’s tragic end of his life he wore the number for only 2 seasons. If it should be retired it should be for the smilin assain. While I give kudos to KM for asking Dwills mom permission, I dont think it was warranted. Have some of us forgot what Atwater brought to that number? He has a HUGE SB XXXII and was probably a pick away from being Co-MVP in that game
somethings wrong, Trying to conquer these fears i thought were gone. And it's been so long, I'm dying to live in a world i don't belong

I certainly haven't
Atwater was just a marvelous and brutal player……But, I’m still not for retiring numbers……
Maybe #27 could become
the Broncos version of the USS Enterprise.
I’ve heard it said that the US Navy will always have an Enterprise in service.

My guess is they'll retire the ship
then christen another one with the same name
