kelly Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Elliot Harrison, an NFL Network Media Analyst, deemed seven-time Pro Bowler Darrelle Revis as thebest defensive player to ever don a Jets' jersey.“Revis has been the best corner in the league for most of his career, which includes seven years in New York,” Harrison said. “Literally, the best. No other Jet can claim that at his position.” In addition to a career-high nine takeaways in 2015, Revis also posted the NFL’s lowest completion percentage allowed for passes into coverage, according to Pro Football Focus (46.5%).Revis is recovering from offseason surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, but he expects to be ready for training camp. In fact, he participated in individual drills in minicamp. “I’m going to play, man,” Revis said. “Until the wheels fall off, hopefully. We’ll see.” > http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/article-7/NFLN-Revis-Best-Jets-Defender-Ever/0755640d-96b6-42fe-bc17-026b96899d4d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscrazey Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 No surprise, from 2009-2011 (except for a few games in 2010 when he was injured) he was the best defensive player I've ever seen. Of course, Klecko is 2nd on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Least efficient defender based on production vs. cost is more like it. Each one of his 5 INT's last year cost us 3+ million. Over-rated, over-hyped and overly-expensive. We'd be better off with a 8-10 mil/year level CB and 6-8 million to spend on the rest of the roster. And made-up stats aside, he wasn't in the ballpark of "Best CB in NFL" last year, or his previous year with the Jets. Perfect example of over-hyped, he was pedestrian in actuality 2015, at least before the made-up stats guys make up a few stats to make him look better.

I think the amount of money he gets/got paid should have absolutely nothing to do with the discussion about how good of a player he was/is. Over-rated, over-hyped- fine, that's your opinion. His salary? That has nothing to do with this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepPep Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 IMO- Gastineau and Klecko made more of an impact for a longer period of time on the Jets. So, to me, they should be ahead of Revis. But Revis is certainly up there, and IMO, he is one of the best man cover CBs EVER, along with the likes of Deion Sanders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funniest line is that the made up stats. This from someone who kept a thread proclaiming Fitz the best since Namath due to a meaningless TD record.

greenwichjetfan Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Best defender in football in '09 & '10. Possibly best pure cover corner of all time. Was on his way to becoming my favorite NY Jet ever - even despite all of the money stuff. To look back now in 2016 and call him a NY Jet though...that's tough. He was a huge part of the pats* winning a couple of years ago. Will never forgive him for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanatic Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 While not the Revis of '09-'11he was still and top corner in '15. I believe his groin and wrist injuries last year affected his play. I am looking for a better season this year from Revis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Brown Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Some by their comments don't seem to realize just how good Revis has been as a Jet. He is not only the best defensive Jets of all time but he is in the real discussion of the greatest defensive player in NFL history!! That is how good he has been especially in this era of don't touch the WR. Revis overrated...... Come on now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupz27 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 2009 Revis was the most dominant season I ever seen from a CB, and it's not even really close, throw in great years in 08, 10, 11, 14, and 15 dude is a sure fire HOFer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not paying for "production" from shutdown CB's like revis, and that idea is laughable. you seem to lack a basic understanding of what's happening the game if it's not in the box score. you seem like a bright guy, use your head a little bit here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't compare his historically great season to any of his other great seasons. revis was on a pace to being the greatest CB of all time before the injury. Deion did more with the ball in his hands, but revis was a more complete player. shadowing the top receiver all over the field, a good and willing tackler, and this is in the modern era where DB's can't make half of the contact with receivers downfield that they were able to in the old days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
