From what I understand the Jets are going to have a Ring of Fame at the new stadium so I'm just curious who you guys would have on there? Let's cap it at say 10 names. Essentially who would qualify as the 10 greatest or influential Jet players/coaches/owners of all time? 1) Namath (no questions) 2) Klecko (again no debate) 3) Maynard (no debate as well) 4) C Mart No doubt about the first 4 but now it gets tough... 5) Winston Hill (8 PB's 1 SB Ring) 6) Weeb Eubank (Only SB winning coach in history plus has his jacket retired) 7) Mo Lewis (maybe the best MILB we've ever had) 8) Freeman McNeil (probably our 2nd best RB ever) 9) Al Toon (had a fantastic career cut short by injuries) Now for some controversy.... #10 would be Mark Gasteneau, Grade A douche yes but IMO still holds the single season sack record, invented the sack dance and was in the Walk Like an Egyptian Video.
this is great news, i always wanted a jets ring of fame. many people feel that chrebet's # should be retired, so instead of retiring his # maybe he can be in the ring of fame?
i think they do the whole sack exchange as one. marty lyons is our announcer and has been with the organization forever.besides all the charity work he does and guest appereances. klecko would be there individually anyway gastineu is someone they reallly wouldnt want to honor but how could you not??? by making it a group thing then you get to include him without the scrunity. salaam.....just ride the coattails
That was my thought as well and leave it up to parents to teach their kids in the douchebaggery of Gasteneau on their own.
I don't know how they can't unless they do the entire Sack Exchange but then Klecko gets screwed in the deal.
They should spread these shrines and tributes throughout the stadium instead of condensing them into one place.
gastineau should get in. when i think of jet greats, i think of, namath, martin, maynard, gastineau, klecko, toon, walker, chrebet, mo lewis, a.glenn, keyshawn, f.mcniel, e.boozer, m.snell, coach ewbank, mawae, j. sample.
If it's limited to 10 I'd go with (in no particular order) Namath Martin Klecko Grantham Maynard Gastineau Winston Hill Mo Lewis Al Toon Weeb Ewbank Guys like Chrebet, Marvin Jones, Victor Green, Wesley Walker, Freeman McNeill and the rest of the Sack Exchange guys should not be forgotten or swept under the rug though.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of him as one of best players, he was a very good safety for a long time.
victor green was my favorite jet while he was here. i always appreciated the way he came up to make big hits.
let's not forget that there is also gonna be a wall of fame, so i'm sure these guys will at least make that.
you hit on pretty much all the really good ones except for powell and sauer. sauer was as great as maynard, it's just that the one with the long career is in the hall of fame and the other isn't. both had the same number of pro bowl appearances, but sauer had more 1st team all-pro years.
For obvious reasons Maynard!! Namath C Mart Weeb Grantham Klecko Snell Chrebet ( For his route to the NFL and what he stood for as a jet) Toon Mo Lewis Winston Hill An outside bet may be Drew Coleman!!:rofl:
Drew Coleman Brett Favre Quincy Carter Justin McCareins Doug Brien Vernon Gholston Mike Nugent Jason Taylor Danny Woodhead Kellen Clemens
