How can Sanchez be so many people's favorite Jets QB of all time? I love the kid too, but he played 1 year, where he threw 12 Touchdowns and 20 Interceptions, costing the Jets a few wins by doing so. He played pretty well in the playoffs, which is why I guess he is on some lists, but it is way too early for him to me by favorite Jets QB of all time.
QB- RICHARD TODD RB- BRUCE HARPER FB- MATT SNELL WR- WAYNE CHREBET TE- MICKEY SHULER OL- MARVIN POWELL DL- KLECKO/ GASTINEAU/ LYONS (tied) LB- LANCE MEHL CB- REVIS S- JIM HUDSON K- PAT LEAHY P- who cares
QB-Chad Pennington RB-Curtis Martin FB-Jerald Sowell WR-Laveraneus Coles TE-Anthoney Becht OL-Nick Mangold DL-John Abraham LB-Mo Lewis CB-Darrelle Revis S-Victor Green
QB - Namath RB - Martin FB - Snell WR -Maynard TE - Caster OG - Rasmussen OT - Hill C - Mangold NT - Jenkins DT - Klecko DE - Gastineau LB - Mo Lewis DB - Revis K - Leahy
Not necessarily best but here are my favorites Coash Bill Parcells QB - Ken O'Brien RB - Freeman McNeil FB - Lorenzo Neil WR - Wesley Walker TE - Mickey Shuler OL - Nick Mangold DL - Mark Gastineau LB - Kyle Clifton CB - Darrelle Revis S - Victor Green K - Pat Leahy
Just because people post here and call themselves Jet fans doesn't mean they have a serious pov. How come no love for Lance Mehl at LB? What a hitter, covered ground great. Mickey Shuler was far and away the Jets' best TE all time.
Yea some peoples point of views on their own opinion, in a completely opinionated thread, is just ridiculous.
Wow we have some similar players on our list, our TE, OL, DL, CB and S are all the same and not the popular picks either (except Revis of course) I was torn between Clifton and Mo. I just remember Mo being a bright light on some awful Jet teams.
Well, I'm only taking my players from players I have actually seen on the field LIVE instead of players I just saw old game tapes from or read about in books (Namath, Maynard, Klecko, etc.) I am soon to be 22, so here is my list: QB - Chad Pennington/Vinny Testaverde RB - Curtis Martin FB - Richie Anderson WR - Wayne Chrebet TE - Dustin Keller OL - Brandon Moore DL - Shaun Ellis LB - Mo Lewis CB - Aaron Glenn S - Victor Green K - Mike Nugent P - Tom Tupa KR - Leon Washington PR - Santana Moss HC - Herman Edwards (though with another big season Rex will take over) OC - Paul Hackett (I mean, really? You can't win with whoever you choose if you've been around from 1995-present like me) DC - Mike Pettine (via Rex Ryan, of course) STC - Mike Westhoff (Obviously)
I've been watching the Jets regularly since 1984 which was their first year in New Jersey. I do recall watching them play at Shea Stadium but I was six when they played their final game there. Therefore, I did not experience Richard Todd as a fan. Ken O'Brien was the first Jets QB that I saw week in and week out. I was not a big fan of him after November 1986. It's that simple with him. I liked Pat Ryan but he was a backup. Boomer Esiason was a good guy, but just an average QB with the Jets and didn't excite me. I hated Bubby Brister and didn't care for Frank Reich or Neil O'Donnell. I liked Vinny Testaverde only in 1998. He pissed me off too often in 2000 and it only got worse after that. I liked Chad Pennington from 2000-05 and in those six years he only played regularly in two of them. After the injuries in 2005, I was pretty much tired of him. Brett Favre was a one season mercenary. So in the end with me, basically by default Mark Sanchez is my favorite Jets quarterback. In my opinion, if you didn't experience the Namath years, as a Jets fan there just wasn't enough good QB play to have excited you.
When making these favorites lists, you will see some oddball selections. Look at me for example. I listed Bobby Houston as my all-time favorite Jets linebacker. I liked the way he played. I thought he gave a good effort, but wasn't the most talented linebacker on any of the Jets teams he played for. Sometimes a favorite player might be the star quarterback and other times it might be the nondescript safety. I am shocked you didn't put Rich Miano on your list.

OK, I'll bite. Not the best necessarily, but my favorite QB- Chad Pennington (just for his toughness. hopefully Sanchez takes this one day) RB- Curtis Martin (edges out McNeil. The consummate professional) FB- Richie Anderson WR- Wayne Chrebet, even though Al Toon is a very, very close 2nd TE- Mickey Schuler OL- Kevin Mawae, although I love Mangold, too DL- Jeff Lageman (that's due more to my age) LB- Lance Mehl, with Mo Lewis a close 2nd CB- Revis Christ (Aaron Glenn was my favorite for years) S- Victor Green K- Raul Allegre (just for his kick against the Fins to get us into the playoffs) P- Jay Feely
