Pretty much. my only questionable would be Martin if I went by players drafted by the jets. if I did that I would go walker. actually typing it out I think I would go walker over martin by the slightest margin 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurntDice Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Overall that seems like it may be right, but the BEST player the jets have had isn’t on that list in Revis. His exit and mercenary kind of attitude did lower the fans view of him. I wasn’t alive for Klecko or Namath so can’t really speak on them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsAddict Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 If it’s mt Rushmore for best Jets players obviously Chrebet is replaced with Revis. Agreed Revis isn’t beloved here after the way his career ended. Mangold maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he qualifies. He was basically drafted by the Jets given the trade they made for him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like the old heads here would fight against Revis being on the Mt Rushmore. I think he’s there. Got to include someone from 2009-10 given that was one of the best teams in Jets history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Namath was before my time, and I don't have any special love for him per se. SBIII wasn't my SB, wasn't alive when it happened, and it means very little to me generally speaking. Happy for those that got it, but it's theirs, not mine. So my list would be different: 1. Chrebet 2. Mangold 3. Toon 4. Martin I like Klecko plenty, but I loved and will always love Toon. Again, this is "most beloved", not "best players" which is a different thing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what an old head is but the question is loved and admired? revis is respected but not cracking some of the names others have mentioned under loved and admired 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2k8 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The first 3 are not debatable, although you can quibble on the order. C-Mart was respected and appreciated, but beloved? Not sure about that. #4 depends on your age. From the 80s, Walker, Toon and Freeman are in the conversation. Gastineau would be in there if not for how it all ended and that late hit vs Cleveland in the 86 divisional playoff. Dennis Byrd from 90s because of everything that he did and said after the injury. And then showing up in New England before the divisional playoff 10 years ago. RIP. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a beloved Jet, no way does Revis make the top 4 IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I wasnt around for Namath or Maynard, so neither would be on my list but I'd imagine those old enough would have both. Mine is the same as this just sub Mangold for Namath. My honorable mentions would be; DBrick, Al Toon, Wesley Walker, Bruce Harper, Bilal Powell, Jericho Cotchery, David Harris, Mo Lewis, Marvin Jones (you cant have my wife), Aaron Glenn, Brad Smith. I would have Revis and Ellis on here but they are traitors. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BARON Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Dunno what the public Says, but my personal fave not in any particular order. Also... Has a lot to do with the person and not just the player. That's why Gastineau aint on my list. Mary Lyons Freeman McNeil Joe Namath Wesley Walker Mangold Mo Lewis Bart Scott Jim Leonhard Sanchez Brandon Moore Mickey Schuler Bruce Harper Dan Alexander Coles Chrebet Faneca Sauce Salaam Buttle Mehl Bobby Jackosn Darrol Ray others... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwichjetfan Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 My first year truly being a fan was '99. I vaguely remember Chrebet but I was too young to really love him, and by the time I really started understanding football, Chrebet was washed. The only real memory I have of him was a critical fumble against the Bears or Bills that ended a playoff push. My Mount Rushmore in no order: D'Brick, Mangold, Cotchery, '09-'10 Revis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 The question isn't being answered correctly by many. The question ISN'T what are YOUR favorite four players. the question is...Which 4 players make up the Jets fans Mt. Rushmore of most widely loved and admired former players? Whether you were alive or not, Namath without question should be number 1...he's the face of the franchise like it or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
