Bored.......thought I'd post something......here it goes....

The 10 Greatest Alabama Alums to Ever Play for the Jets

10. Dee Milliner CB (Injury prone underachiever who played for all or parts of 3 seasons for Gang Green)

9. Ray Abruzzese DB (Part Time Starter at Safety on a couple of teams in the mid-1960s)

8. Greg Gantt P (a below average punter on 2 below average Jets teams)

7. Paul Crane LB (A good solid backup LB on the Super Bowl team - played 7 years)

6. CJ Mosley LB (Only started 1 year at LB but it was a good year)

5. James Carpenter OL (4 year starter at Guard - played well at times, not great, not bad)

4. Quinnen Williams DT (Still playing but a 3 year starter so far)

3. Richard Todd QB (Not a great NFL QB, but was the team's starting QB for 6 years)

2. Marty Lyons DT (Tough, reliable member of the Sack Exchange)

1.  Joe Namath QB (obviously)

Wow, with all the great players to come out of Alabama that is a sad top 10.

[Bless you....Thank you]

Dont forget Greg McElroy. 

[Jet Nut]

It’s a bad list when Miliner is in your top 10

[ScarletKnight89]

I think calling Dee Milliner an "underachiever" is being very generous to him. 

[Bocajetfan]

Should have stopped at 5

[Sarge4Tide]

Tough crowd here on JetNation....

Not sure if it’s the crowd or the talent of the players listed. I’ll go with the talent level of the players.

[section314]

Mosley would be my #3...he showed me more in 17 games than Q has in 3 years.  I would make it a top 5.

Namath

Lyons

Mosley

Todd

Q

[Jethead]

#1 makes the rest of the list irrelevant (although interesting)!

I remember Paul Crane. Solid contributor.

He must’ve nosed out ardarious stewart for the #10 spot

[Sonny Werblin]

If we include Alabama-Birmingham Bryan Thomas could make the list.

[CanadaSteve]

Top ten players from Alabama, one of which was a horrendous pick, the first, in the short Idzik era, and a punter.  A PUNTER.  And a bad punter.

That's why I like top five lists.

The 10 Greatest Alabama Alums

Well, in any discussion of the 10 greatest Alabama Albums, you just got to start with this one:

Dee Milliner was horse bleep in Jet Green. Indifferent as to what he was elsewhere.

Mr Crane once let me wear his Super Bowl ring.  One if the greatest moments of my life.  Unfortunately he passed recently. 

[Peace Frog]

I was really hoping Ardarius Stewart was going to be great. 

True story.

When we took he and Hansen I thought our WR room was going to be loaded.

I thought he would be our poor man's Anquan Bolden. 

 

I was wrong.

Outside of Namath/Lyons, we don't have much luck with BAMA players on this team, which is why I want nothing to do with NEAL... I'll take my chances with Ekwonu...

Sorry Sarge
