Both were great Jets. If you put Curtis' durability in Freeman's body, what a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Al Toon was my favorite, then Walker, Erik McMillan, and Klecko. 5th would have to be Byrd. My old man made me keep up with that story for the obvious life lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid, how could you not love him? He was a big time playmaker and the sack dance was epic. The only reason for him being off so many lists may have to do with the "sack dance" penalty against the Browns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekskill68 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 My Dad introduced me to John Schmitt when I was about 8 or 9. Shook my hand and took the time to talk with me and learn a bit about me. Will never forget it... Others in my top 5 would be: E Boozer, George Sauer, Verlon Biggs and Gerry Philbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HE made us relevant. The Kosar hit and his behavior at the end taints our memories but let's not forget what a presence he was. So I applaud your choice.

Ex-Rex Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Curtis Martin, Joe Klecko, Lance Mehl, Wesley Walker, Mark Gastineau. In my early Jet years it was Namath, Maynard, Gerry Philbin, Verlon Biggs, John Elliott and Riggins. In Walt Michaels years it was Marvin Powell, Walker, Freeman McNeil, Klecko and Gastineau.

That hit turned the game around but the Jets had two dropped interceptions by Johnny Lynn (by his own admission) that would have won that game. Gastineau takes FAR too much blame for that loss.

PCP63 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 23 years old here, so limited exposure. Anyways, here's my crack at it: 1. Curtis Martin 2. Wayne Chrebet 3. Thomas Jones 4. Chad Pennington 5. Stephen Hill Curtis was and always will be my favorite player. Loved his aggressiveness and his great attitude. Loved the underdog story of Chrebet, and his relentless effort. Loved Jones for the same reason I loved Martin. Loved Chad for his intelligence and his composure. Wish he never was injured. I honestly liked Hill more than more of the others I put, but knew I'd be much more hated on if I put him any higher. He didn't really perform for us. Nevertheless, GREAT attitude, great measurables, and had all of the potential in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
