    Difficulty: No Curtis Martin.

    The longer Gase remains our coach the more insane we all get, so here's a poll to take our minds off things.

    Richie Anderson was a good fullback. Considering that the fullback as both a blocker and power back is slowly coming back into vogue in the NFL, it would be good to have him back.

    I miss the balanced run/pass offenses of the 90s. I liked when having a great RB was nearly as important as having a good QB. I'm glad that guys like Henry, Barkley, Kamara, and McCaffery are showing the importance of the position.

    Titans are having no problem with a balanced offense, too many teams feel they have to have 5 receiver sets all the time.

    I would take Adrian Murell.

    Johnny Johnson. I remember 90 yd run, it was not TD. He was caught from behind near goal line.

    From Jet Press: See Johnny run… but not score! – September 25, 1994

    On a Sunday Night Football telecast between the Jets and Chicago Bears in Week 4, running back Johnny Johnson made NFL history.

    Taking the handoff from quarterback Jack Trudeau at the Jets three-yard line, Johnson burst through a hole in the offensive line and looked on his way for a team-record 97-yd TD run. However, Johnson ran out of steam inside the Bears 20, and was caught from behind by cornerback Jeremy Lincoln at the Bears seven-yard line.

    Johnson’s 90-yd run was the longest in team history as well as being the longest in NFL history without scoring a touchdown. When all was said and done, the Jets were stopped on fourth down and didn’t even turn Johnson’s historic run into points.

    I've gone with Murrell, a bright spot in dark time, but Anderson would suit me as well (and for similar reasons).

    Richie Anderson, hands down. Would be a good leader to have around the young guys we have on the team now.

    Anderson is the correct answer-- some forget that he was a really good pass catching back, as well.

    I voted for Hector though, for reasons of nostalgia.
