Sarge4Tide Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 What is your reaction to this statement All things considered, Darrelle Revis was the best defensive player in the history of the New York Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viermoo Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Revis is not only the best defensive player in Jet history but probably the best CB is NFL history.... and no, Deion was not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetdawgg Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Revis had years that reminded me of Lem Barney. He was that good. His crash was bad. From the time he shut down TO in that Turkey Day game. I knew he was something special. Hard for me to compare him the JK. CB is easier to dominate at when they do not throw to your side. Gerry Philbin got his ring with the Jets. He is still my favorite defender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets0712 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Imo klecko. Should be in h o f what a joke. Revis a very close 2nd. But Deion was betterSent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lem Barney was a great punt returner too, knew he was a great corner, but didn't know he was a shut down corner like Revis. In any case, Revis was great when he was here at the beginning, but it seems like so long ago (not as long as Lem Barney)... and those memories of Revis being great have faded, just like his skills.

Obrien2Toon Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I know every one is anti Revis now, but I always thought he was way overrated. I would've taken A. Glenn over him anyday. At least Glenn made some big plays every once in awhile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 it tough to say because each position has it's own requirements. overall i'd say klecko but there is no doubt revis is/was the best corner the jets (or maybe any team) ever had. klecko left the jets because of injuriy, he still hd plenty of fire. revis is leaving because the clock is just running out.

ZachEY Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 This is the same question as the Hall of Fame one. Depends how you measure "best." Revis definitely had the best season, even seasons, ever. But, Revis was "the best" for a short period of time, relatively. So, do you prioritize a great player who was great for a while, or an elite player, who was elite for a much shorter period of time?

ZachEY Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 FWIW, and I'm going to duck after saying this... If I have the opportunity to draft Darelle Revis or John Abraham right now, I might draft Abraham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetworks Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Klecko, although he doesn't run away with it. While both he and Revis forced coaches to gameplan around them, I feel Klecko was that much more difficult to account for given his versatility.

JustInFudge Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 This is so insulting to Klecko it's not even funny. The dude never took a playoff let alone entire seasons. **** Darrelle Revis and his sh*tty sand bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 he's the best PLAYER in team history so of course he is the best defender and it's really not close. before I get jumped on this doesn't mean he was the most important, we all know that was Joe, but he was the best player to ever play for the New York Jets in their prime.

thadude Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Revis had his best seasons when no one could figure out Rex's blitz schemes (2009-2010). He only had to cover his assignments for 3 seconds tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjunc Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I love Joe Klecko, every Jet fan should BUT he tends to get a little overrated by Jet fans.

Ironic that you make the longevity argument when Revis really only had 2-3 "great" years (much of it with Rex and his blitz schemes even Brady and Manning had difficulty with) Namath is the greatest Jet ever.

At least Glenn made some big plays every once in awhile Aaron Glenn is one of the most overrated players in Jets history. he was a quality corner but nothing special, he would get roasted by big time WRs while Revis completely shut them down and let's not forget we made our 1998 run WITHOUT Glenn who got hurt on a day where Joey Galloway abused him against Seattle and he was basically done for the year. the funny thing is Revis is known for shutting down opposing #1s and not for INTs or TDs BUT Glenn in basically 8 full seasons had 24 INts and 3 INT TDs while Revis in basically 7 full seasons had 25 INts and 3 INT TDs so not only was he vastly superior at shutting guys down he was a better playmaker even though he had far fewer opportunities b/c opposing QBs were scared to throw his way unlike Glenn who was picked on all the time.

Bottom Line Revis had 2-3 greatest corner of all time seasons and only one bad season. Joe never had all time great seasons and had a ton of bad seasons. Revis is light years ahead of Namath as far as play on the field. Namath is the geratest jet for what he meant to the franchise, Revis is the greatest PLAYER.

Lego My Lageman Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 So hard because I didnt get to see the older players like Klecko week in and week out. The biggest part of this for me is that he was such a pain in the ass with the holdout, contracts,winning a ring with the Pats and this terrible effortless last season that I cant give an unbiased opinion. Meh Revis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
