The more ints a DB had usually means they have many more opportunities but Revis shut down the greatest WRs in the game. As far as TDs, Revis had 3 in 145 games. Bailey had 4 in 215 so I guess he doesn't belong? Mel Blount had 2 Mike Haynes had 2 Etc... Jet fans just love to hate Revis for some reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmnj Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 he was a great player for the jets-for a short period of time he was crazy good shutting down everybody and and anybody-he locked down anybody and everybody and accepted the shadow role against the games best I dont blame him one bit for chasing money -the NFL teams have no loyalty to the players and dump them in a heartbeat even after injury. Revis to his credit was able to leverage his skills into controlling his own destiny and getting paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATA Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 IDC about you other fans that want to sh*t on him for getting a ring he deserved with that talent. I was happy for him not for anyone else in the Pats organization. But he was one of the best to me and I will always consider him a Jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shuler82 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The guy retired mentally years ago. i have no love for a guy who made $100+ million in his career yet still showed his only concern was pocketing each and every cent he could at the expense of his team and in many ways himself. Great player for a few great years in our team history, but the guy never gave a **** about us- why should I give a **** about him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never seen a player blatantly quit the on field as often and as obvious as Revis did. He’s been retired for 4 years collecting a pay check, if not longer.

Sadly, I'm not. Also, is there another example of a guy who was as good as him falling off a cliff so quickly and so dramatically as he did?

ChuckkieB Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 His greediness and arrogance left a bad taste in my mouth, but he's definitely one of the greatest, if not the greatest player to ever wear a Jets uniform.

genot Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Address my argument. You didn't because the facts are revis was a more complete player than Deion. Always was. Deion gave up big plays every week because he refused to sacrifice his body to make a play Talk about selfishness, That's selfishness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 1 hour ago, WowOhWow said: Say what you want. Between the lines the dude was amazing. Glad he was ours. Could have been the greatest Jet ever. It could have lasted so much longer. All those hold-outs! Probably tore his knee up because he sat out training camp in yet another hold-out and wasn't as prepared, physically, as he should have been. Wasted a year in Tampa Bay, due to greed. Went to arch-enemy Pats for a few bucks more. And while maximizing his contracts he seemingly didn't keep himself in tip-top shape as his descent was rapid. He was amazing here for two years +/-.. When he came back, it sure seemed like he dogged it. Could have been the best Jet ever if he wasn't determined to squeeze every penny out of the league.

genot Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Before he signed with Tampa, he was a gamer every Sunday. When he resigned with us, he wasn't the same player, a gave up on some plays. a lot of Jets did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 1 hour ago, King P said: Great player, in his prime he was 2nd only to Primetime as far as coverage skills. It's funny to see most of our fanbase hate him because he's a great businessman who chose to maximize his earnings as much as possible. But also knowing this fanbase, it's not surprising. Congrats to Darrelle Revis on a great career I think his legacy would have been far more impressive if he hadn't squeezed every penny out of three different teams. He still would have made more money than he could count. We weren't going to pay him under market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freemanm Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I know people are going to post angry responses, but I'm going to say it anyway: Revis gave the Jets three elite seasons, and was never the same after his injury. He basically gave up towards the end of his career, had a crappy attitude, and his priority was always the money. I think Aaron Glenn in his prime was just as good and more durable than Revis. Remember, opposing QBs never threw to Glenn's side of the field either. Glenn was also a team-first player who was willing to return kickoffs and gave everything he had every time he was on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only long time Jet in the discussion for best of all time at his position. We drafted Revis in 2007 and he's a lock Hall of famer, our last drafted Hall of famer was John riggins in the early 70s and he made it because of his days as a Redskin.

LIJetsFan Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 2 hours ago, Creepy Lurker said: He was my favorite player and ruined my perception of him based on his selfishness and inability to maintain his playing level. Add the fact that he won a super bowl with the Pats and dogged it when he came back to us. Self absorbed delusional douche. Those 2 seasons in 09,10 still blow my mind and I thank him for being a major contributing factor to that exciting time and doing something unheard of. His negatives pretty much negate all of that though in my eyes. This x1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
