He was too small for that era but would be a great slot WR today 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 22 minutes ago, NIGHT STALKER said: 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. I'm answering it correctly, and to me, Al Toon was more loved than Wayne Chrebet. I loved Toon, and I loved Walker. Older fans would love Maynard and or Sauer, both of whom were instrumental on the SB team. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoJetsy Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 57 minutes ago, JiFields said: Probably, maybe Maynard for the old timers too? 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. Mo Lewis ushered in the tormentor so scratch him off! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Willie White Shoes Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 1 hour ago, JetsAddict said: 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. It's a beloved list, not a best list. Revis is not making any beloved lists that is limited to a handful of players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 1 hour ago, #27TheDominator said: I thought it was: Brett Ratliff Matt Simms Greg McElroy Erik Ainge With the last one, they'd have to keep reapplying the sideline or yard-line markings. Too bad they didn't have Ainge around in the late 90s. Then he'd have Hoovered it right up & O'Donnell wouldn't have tripped on that powder in pregame warmups. Poor guy, he was such a team-first soul & could've really gotten hurt (or could've broken those choppers he had). Just thinking now of all those whose careers were cut short tripping on sideline markings just like he did; it could've been so much worse.

Leftylarry Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Big Victor Green fan here, along with Namath, Snell, George Sauer, Jim Hudson, John Riggins, Bruce Harper, just to name a few, Vinny Testaverde was a Shakespearean character, often playing a lead role both in Comedy as well as tragedy but he was a loveable Jet for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHA, it's hysterical how people on this board don't realize it's ok to love a player they don't! Im older so.. Namath- childhood idol Klecko- loved that era and his toughness and versatility Chrebet- the boys favorite player as they grew up, at one time we owned like 5-6 Chrebet jerseys, so nothing but love for the guy Sauce- I know, I know, but I already know one day i will love him most.

Is that a serious question, because I feel like you're just baiting/trolling at this point. Joe Namath played no role in my becoming or staying a Jets Fan. I doubt he played that much of a material role for many "Children of the 80's" like myself who hit that key age range (8-12 yo) in those early-to-mid-80's years. I'd wager most like-aged kids had one or all of 1. lived in the NY area (LI for me), 2. had some family or friends that was a Jets Fan and 3. Liked the Green and White colors and/or the Jets Logo (green is my favorite color) and 4. enjoyed the mid-80's Jets of Toon, Walker, Shuler, McNeil, O'Brien, Klecko, Gastinau, et. al. when they first watched them. But you think Jets Fans born years after Namath retired should....like the Jets only because of Namath? That's an...interesting....form of gatekeeping there peebag. Again, I think I'm just rising to bait here, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viffer Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 3 hours ago, JetsAddict said: 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? Mevis? Most popular? After holding out like, every year? One of the greatest, yes, but most popular, no. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
