When I think about whose number I'd want to retire, the list in my mind brings up so many members of the dynasty (Brady, Brown, Bruschi, McGinest, Vrabel, Seymour, Vinateri, etc) who obviously can't all have their numbers retired that I think the most appropriate thing to do when the dynasty years pass us by (sadly, it'll happen eventually) is to somehow commemorate the team aspect of the dynasty in addition to individual players. I know it would be impossible to do something like this given that each year there's a 53 man roster, a practice squad, shadow roster, players who are injured and go on IR, etc over however long the dynasty era goes, but I'd love to see some way that role players and great team guys like Faulk, Izzo, Light, etc could be commemorated so that when we look back we can all remember that this dynasty wasn't built around superstars, but as a team in the truest sense of the word.
That was probably way too nostalgic and such for a team most of which are still playing their way into history, but I just think that they should be remembered in such a way that we can show future generations what has been the hallmark of this organization in the BB years: playing together as a team in an era of me-first superstars.
