    Quincy Carter. 2-1 as a starter in relief of an injured Pennington in 2004 before going AWOL on the team later in the year. Never played in the NFL again

    Didn't Kyle Wilson's brother, Vince, post here when he we was first drafted? I know I'm not imagining things. As much as we rank on people, it still is kinda cool to make it to the NFL. I wish Kyle well - and hopefully he got a decent haircut.

    Belongs in the Cup of Coffee thread! ; ) That was crazy. He disappeared and no-one could find him. The guy was very troubled, but he did help us out, so nothing bad to say, really. Troubled. It could be because he wasn't a boy named Sue, he was a boy named Lavonya. All joking aside, it really isn't a laughing matter. I hope he's OK now.

    Who are the other two guys? Is the one in the middle the same guy that was Flash Gordon?

    "We want Matt! We want Matt! We want Matt!" Sigh. And to think that it all went down the toilet because Robinson was thumb wrestling in a bar with Bobby Jones. Robinson never saw the field again. Jets . . . can't make it up . . . you know how that works. "Richard and Walt, it's all your fault!" Has an oranges and lemons say the bells of St. Clement's type feel. Yep, QB controversy; but all I got for my trouble was PAIN.

    EDIT & P.S.: Hahaha, I was going to post some additional pics, but when I hit in Matt Robinson, I got the actor. This is like Lester Lyles all over again.

    Testaverde was a personal favorite of mine. I just like his style of QB more. The big arm, downfield type.

    I think it would be interesting to see whose career Jets fans look back more favorably on: Vinny or Pennington. For me its Vinny but I understand the argument for Pennington. Vinny might get more favorability since he was a NYer and had the best overall year in 1998

    ^His kid looks just like him. The day Vinny tore his Achilles I was sick, but allow me to clarify: I wasn't sick before he tore it. I'd been rubbing my hands together in anticipation for weeks for the season to start. How the F do you blow out your Achilles just standing there?! Oh, silly me, cuz Jets. Here's the replay . . .

    And yep, that was pretty much the look on our faces. Good times.

    #16, Brad Smith. I didn't mean to leave him out the conversation re: Leon Washington some pages back. I was moody. I loved that handsome gap-toothed son of a bitch. I'm not biased just because he was hot. What an athlete, truly electrifying. Our Antwaan Randle El. I wish they would've utilized him more at QB, but he was so much fun to watch. The Jets used to actually have special teams. No pun intended.

    ^Best Thanksgiving ever.

    EDIT: I hate the NFL for this. You have to actually go to youtube directly to see it. Sorry about that. Money grubbing turds. Back in the day, security would literally try to frisk you NYPD style if they thought you were trying to sneak in a camera, and, if you did take pics and they saw you, they would confiscate the film because it was "the sole property of the NFL". They didn't want anyone to make a profit re: licensing, when all you were really trying to do was snap some plays/players for your own enjoyment. Yeah, they would rip the film out and destroy it, and sometimes hold your camera, too. Screw you. They couldn't stop it anymore with the advent of stone age digital cameras, cell phones, etc., and eventually gave up the ghost on it. Buttholes. So, yeah, you have to go to youscam to watch. If the players featured are also monetized, I don't have a problem with it - but you know they aren't.

    I wasn't. That didn't look like Todd to me, and I had never seen a picture of Pat Ryan with his helmet off.

    I should have known not to look at this part of the thread lest I have to see Ninny Interceptaverde. I tolerated him in '98. I was sad to see him get hurt in 1999 because I knew that screwed the Jets' chances of a SB. From 2000 on couldn't stand him and wanted him gone and never to see the field for the Jets again.
