UntouchableCrew Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 If we're including coaches, I think Weeb has to be on there, in which case it's probably Namath, Weeb, Maynard and one more, depending on your taste. Revis was the best player, but obviously his approach has kind alienated him from being an iconic Jets guy, as did going to the Pats. Curtis Martin has the HoF ring, but was more of a "very good for a very long time" type of player. Klecko probably should be in the Hall and probably is more of a "bleeding green" associated with the Jets type guy. That's probably the field.

I wasn’t the biggest football fan to begin with, but if I was going to play, I didn’t want to play for what was in my mind the worst team, ever,” “I looked at the Jets as the bottom of the barrel.” If that's not Jet Mount Rushmore worthy nothing is.. Thank you for the CuMar quote. Eff him and his spongy HOF stats. Riggins was 10X the player and the Jets wouldnt pay him. He played here 5 years and was clearly a beast. The owners got what they wanted after Supe lll. A franchise worth many millions more than they invested and werent going to spend on good players other than Joe because he was the ticket seller. Cheap bastards ruined Joe by not investing around him and lost Riggins when they should have paid up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A franchise worth many millions more than they invested and werent going to spend on good players other than Joe because he was the ticket seller. Cheap bastards ruined Joe by not investing around him and lost Riggins when they should have paid up. In 1963, Sonny Werblin and his partners purchased the American Football League (AFL) Titans of New York from original owner Harry Wismer. Werblin changed the team's name to the Jets, and drafted Matt Snell in the first round, signing him away from the crosstown NFL Giants. His biggest coup came in 1965, when for $400,000 he signed University of Alabama quarterback Joe Namath, who had been drafted by the NFL St. Louis Cardinals. Werblin and the Oakland Raiders' Al Davis resisted the indemnity the NFL demanded, which was $100,000 per year for twenty years. Other AFL owners agreed to the terms, along with stripping the name and logo from the AFL. Werblin was bought out by Jets management prior to the 1968 season, which concluded with the team winning Super Bowl III over the Baltimore Colts in one of the greatest upsets in sports history. Newark Star-Ledger sports columnists Jerry Izenberg and Sidney Zion would later speculate that, because the Jets fired Werblin, there was a "Curse of Sonny Werblin" on the team. By an unusual coincidence, Werblin and Izenberg were elected to the Sports Hall of Fame of New Jersey in the same year, 1997. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to argue with that, although Hackenburg never ended up seeing the field so it’s almost hard to even call him a Jet. Bubby Brister, Stephen Hill, Neil O’Donnell, Devin Smith might also be candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap bastards ruined Joe by not investing around him and lost Riggins when they sho uld have paid up. Riggins had one 1,000 yd season and 25 rush TDs, his long rush in 5 years was 42 yards. Curtis was over 1,000 every year except his final season which was cut short by injury. Yes, I know Riggins played 14 games a year here but only one of Curtis's seasons would have been under 1000 in 14 games. If you prorate John's yards to 16 games he would have had just 2 1,000 yd seasons. Curtis also added 58 rush TDs which was more than double what Riggins had and he only played 3 more seasons. If you take John's TDs per game and prorate to Curtis's number of games he has 50. John's best years were in Washington, to put him ahead of Curtis as a Jet is laughable.

While I agree Riggins did his best work with the Skins the most carries he got in a Jet season was 238. Without Parcells and Paul Hackett Martin never would have made the HOF. Hell if Priest Holmes wasn't hurt in 2004 Cumar wouldn't have won the Rushing title by a yard not to mention the 2 over time games the Jets had that year. And Holmgren keeping Alexander on the bench when he saw Martin getting yards.. As a Jet Cumar avg 7 tds a year and 4 ypc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kleckineau Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Riggins is one of about 5 guys I would want to give the ball to at the 4 yd line with 3 seconds left and down by 4 points in a title game. (Campbell would be my 1st choice) CuMar wouldnt even make my top 100 in that spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
