Fan favorites that had forum fanboys....and then never amounted to anything!

[jetstream23]

Which Jets players have had the most hype and forum fanboy love that then turned out to be completely undeserved?

A couple quick ones that come to mind:  Kellen Clemens and Brooks Bollinger.  There were quite a few people on those bandwagons.  Unfortunately, those wagons had broken wheels.

Any others?

There was a guy.  I cant think of who it was...it may have even been the old site.  Huge Brooks Bollinger fan.  Or was it one of Tom Shane's pseudonyms?  I can't remember crap anymore.  And who was the Marko Cavka fan that caused him to become a meme around here?  I want to say it was the buxom blonde lady who's name I can't remember.  Help fish.

Also Eric Barton.

That was Fred Jetstone. 

Also Darren Walls had a huge fan on this board. ?

If you say anyone other than Matt Simms, you don’t know this fan base.

There was more than just a guy.  It was a small but vocal group who really seemed to think Brooks deserved a shot and could surprise as a NFL starter.

d’oh!

[Beerfish]

Idiot Herman Edwards liked Bollinger better than Ricky Ray who, if given a real chance would have been the Jets starter for a number of years.  so yeah you can put me under the Ricky Ray fanboy club.

[jvill 51]

Disappointed there hasn’t been an Anthony Schlegel mention yet.

[kelticwizard]

Tim Tebow certainly had his cheering squad.

[kelticwizard]

Tight End Chris Baker had a lot of people believing in his eventual greatness.

[jgb]

Amazing that players like Brooks (Bollywood!) and others have fanboys while Martin, Gastineau and even Saint Joe Willie himself have detractors here. We've been losing for so long I think as a collective we have lost our marbles and gone full bizarro.

Leemo and @Marko Cavka sit in tree. K-E-E-S-I-N-G.

[mrcoops]

I thought Greg McElroy was a 7th round steal who was going to be, at a minimum, a long-time quality backup in the Pat Ryan style.

Mike Glenno .... oh wait nvm you said former jet in that case Kellen  Clemons , Justin McCarrians got a lot love when we first signed him too

When I first read the title I thought it was about JN posters, not players.

Stephen Hill after his 2 TD debut vs the Bills! 

I thought we had our new Al Toon. Man was I wrong!

David  “the possession-burner” Clowney. 

 

 

[Kleckineau]

Mark Sanchez.  More than a few posters insist how great he actually was and that we just dont understand things.
