    juicy one, but i'm going to go abit more indepth I think, aka Truely go position to position. My age will show abit here I'm afraid.

    QB Joe Willie Namath, no competition here at this time.
    RB (formerly Halfback) Emerson Boozer
    FB John Riggins
    TE Richard Caster (This may change by years end)
    WR Don Maynard (this was a tough choice for me, so I went with my childhood favorite)
    Center Kevin Mawae
    Tackle Gotta go with Namaths Jets here, The Beast Winston Hill.
    Guard, tough choice but going with my boys, Dave Herman.

    Defense.
    DT Gotta be Klecko.
    DE, Not mark, great DE, head case. My choice is Gerry Philbin.
    OLB, Larry Grantham
    ILB Al atkinson or Mo Lewis.
    CB I gotta go with Revis, but a very honorable mention to Aaron Glenn
    S going old school here, Billy Baird.

    K Pat Leahy, honorable mention to Bobby Howry.
    P Curly Johnson (only decent punter I can remember the Jets having)

    (edit) I have seen all these guys play and did collect their cards when they were still active with the Jets...granted I was 8 years old at the time but.....

    I wonder of Vic realizes how much the fans loved him. He seems to be the guy on everybody's list. He's probably one of my alltime favs overall, just a real hard nosed player.

    I think so, he was an active player in 2003 and came back to take part in the all time team ceremony so I think he gets it.

    I still don't understand why they got rid of him at the time. I don't remember the circumstances, just remember that I did not like it. Victor was a rock in that secondary.

    I've seen all of those guys also, so not surprisingly my list is similar to yours. I would make the following changes, however, assuming the list is best, not favorite:

    RB: Gotta go with Curtis Martin - he was better than Boozer, and also had a much bigger impact (Boozer only averaged 11 carries per game).
    TE: Never was a Caster fan - he dropped way too many passes for my taste. I go with with Mickey Shuler here.
    S: Baird was good, but I do think Victor Green was a little better.
    K: No love for Jim Turner?

    Man we even agree on Gasteneau, I loved to hate him but at the end of the day he was so much fun to watch. I don't know if it was the steroids or the stupidity but he was a great guy to watch when he showed up.

    Great pass rusher but he wasn't great all around. I loved him as a kid but realizing now how much his teammates hated him and how selfish he was I don't like him as much but he was still a great pass rusher.

    Caster was a TD waiting to happen, he would have done better in this era with gloves....Mickey was an animal, tough, with great hands...

    We need more Richard Todd's for QB. How can there be more Ken O'Brien's than Todd's?
