TuscanyTile2 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Some candidates that come to mind are Curtis Martin, Wesley Walker, and Nick Mangold. I have to think more about it though. I guess I don't have an hands down all-time favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I was born in 1979- I idolized Klecko, gastineau, toon, and McNeil and even Ken Obrien. I'd probably go with Al Toon as the one that really resonates. Could've been Revis but won't be I actually loved me some Bart Scott in 2009 and 10, but it was a faze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrien2Toon Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 McNeil, toon, A Glenn, K Clifton A lot of other guys through the years. But you feel differently about players when you're a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win4ever Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Chrebet most likely, although I didn't catch the early part of his career. Lately, I have to say, I liked Wilkerson, because he assumed the leadership role on the team, came in every day and played, didn't complain (atleast until now) and took Richardson under his wing.

Lupz27 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I've always been a fan of DB's, Revis was my hands down all time favorite until that scumbag Woody J had to get all stupid, and sh*t. Now until Revis resumes his career here, and helps gang green win a SB I'll go with my pre Revis favorite. Aaron Glenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxgreen Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Mo Lewis. Best linebacker we ever had. Wish I could forgive him for Brady though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dupe Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hard to stop at one. My top would start with... Namath, Toon, Revis, Caster, Walker I guess its apparent that my favorite play is the bomb. I'm hoping to add Devin Smith to that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papz187 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Mine is Wayne Chrebet. Classic Rocky underdog story. Chrebet is my all time favorite too. I was born in 82, so by the time I started really watching and getting involved Boomer was my guy, but he went quick and so did Ronnie Lott and quickly it became Chrebet just for the toughness he played with. Some others growing up were Mo Lewis, Glenn, Victor Green, Martin, Keyshawn, Ray Mickens. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bealeb319 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Mangold has got to be up there...he always seems to do and say the right things, never causes problems and always plays well. Not that I could mention him as an all time great but I also Loved Joe McKnight a few years back, I used to get excited with every kickoff because he was averaging somewhere around 35-40 yards, then he got fat and cut.

HessStation Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I loved Charlie Joyner and Wes Chandler too. They were my go to in pretend games in my mom's living room w/ the nerf. Winslow rarely caught a pass from Fouts in those games lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I remember when they finally drafted the speed LB I was waiting for, Basil Proctor. Johnny Johnson was the next pick! A 4.5 LB out of West Virginia. He never made the team and I don't think he made the news again until he was a 275 lb FB/LB for the Dragons in the Arena League and that was only because he was a convicted sex offender and people were protesting. He hung around for years, but he had a bunch of arrests, but I guess he made a living at football for better than a decade. He was in that football movie with Pacino too. I loved Charlie Joyner and Wes Chandler too. I don't think either of them ever made the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMmm I might have to rethink my list to find space for Mangold....his omission would only be due to being a fatty Offensive Lineman, not his fault.

Long Island Leprechaun Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Wesley Walker. Freeman McNeil showed traces of brilliance and created hope, but the guy just couldn't stay healthy. Curtis Martin is hard not to like, unless you're in the anti-Compiler, Martinettophobia club. He always seemed classy and professional to me even if he wasn't the most dazzling back ever -- an admirable over-achiever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
