Best players by #

24 is debatable.  Bailey had a long dominate career.  

I think the real debate is...do 11, 15, 37, 49, 66 and 89 truly deserve this honor?  They couldnt have been that great.  They dont even have names. 

Champ Bailey was a good player but vastly overrated.  he was nowhere near a revis like level.

When Aaron Brooks, John Kitna and Bubby Brister make your list...your list is ****ed. 

Bubby wouldn't make our top 5 of #6s and that # hasn't been kind to us.  h would fall somewhere behind Joe Prokop and Doug Brien.

Bob Griese?  LOL.  Even Bob Griese knows he couldn't carry Namath's jock.

Make no mistake... the Favre jersey is a JETS jersey.  Any JETS up there besides Favre?:)

There are a bunch of guys who played for the Jets, but no "Jets"  Riggins, Lott, A****er.  You could argue that Riggins was at his best with the Jets, but those were wasted years.  The real question is how many of those guys were on the board when that moron picked Blair Thomas to add to Freeman and Hector?  I see at least two.

The way this board sh*ts all over Bailey because Revis is also #24 is laughable. You know this is the reason, don't even deny it, because it's certainly not football-based.

Bailey was a good player, he was not one of the best of all time and he is always treated like he is.

Sometimes undeserving players will make the HoF. See: Jerome Bettis. Champ Bailey, however, is not one of them. 

see Michael Strahan.  I think Bailey was really good but even among HOFers there are different levels.  he was NOT anywhere near a Revis level.

Not if you go by his stats with the Skins.. At age 34 he had 24 tds  and had 143 yds and 2 tds in his bowl appearance..

I'm not sure what you are getting at.  I didn't say he has his best years as a Jet, I said, you could argue.  You could argue that Riggins was at his peak with the Jets.  He had 7 TDs and 4.6 ypc in '72 and 4.2 ypc, 8 TDs and the Jets first 1000 yard rusher (IIRC) in '75.  You could certainly argue it, though Riggins is properly best remembered for his success in Washington where Joe GIbbs rode him like a rented mule.  Stats don't tell the whole story.  In Washington he got a gazillion carries behind probably the most famous offensive line in league history.  Riggins is certainly closer to being a true "Jet" than any of those others.

as far as Curtis vs. Bettis. I think what pushes Curtis ahead was his consistency.  In his career he was 4+YPC 7 out of 11 years(one of the years he wasn't was his last year when he got the career ending injury and played through it for a while).  Bettis was at 4+YPC 4 times in 13 years.  the totals are similar, Bettis had 1 more rush TD but his last few years Bettis was a short yardage specialist racking up TDs.  he had 53 as a feature back through 9 years and 38 the last 4 years as a part time, short yardage back.  Going back to YPC the short yardage back days affected that but even in his first 9 seasons  he only had 4 seasons at or above 4 YPC.  Curtis was also much better catching the ball out of the backfield and 4 times was top 3 in rushing(led once) in 11 seasons while Bettis was top 3 three times and never led in 13 seasons.
