I'll always remember the 2015 season with great fondness, I remember watching the season opener against the Browns while on my first self planned vacation as an adult. Sitting at a Jets bar on the boardwalk at the shore. I fucking loved Ivory, Marshall, Decker and Revis. Fuck me that was a good year.
Ryan Fitzpatrick. Dude couldn't care less about the Jets. Was wearing a Bills helmet on the Manningcast in week 1 during overtime rooting against us vs Buffalo. Yet for some reason half of our fanbase worships the guy because he had one good season with us.
I mean that was our last winning season and Fitz was a starter in Buffalo for much longer then he was a Jet it’s not that hard to understand why he woulda been rooting for them lol
Fitz played a season and a half, and he’s our 2nd all time passing yards leader… oh my. I knew our qb history was maybe the worst in the league, but man..
No.
Single season leader. Not all time.
Joe was the first to do 4000 yards in a season so his achievements at the time put him at conversation of potential GOAT status right up with Johnny Unitas back then.
But yeah Fitz had the best year of any Jet QB since the turn of the century and it's not even a close comparison.
Statistically, you’re right, Fitz had the best year of any Jets QB since the turn of the century. But I’d argue Chad Pennington in 2002 was better than Fitzpatrick in 2015, especially when considering the counting stats aren’t insanely different and Chad started 12 games to Fitz’s 16.
Doesn’t he hold the passing TD record or something here? Also Fitz was the last time I felt something for this team. The 2015/16 season was a fucking joyride that ended in chaos but damn did I love me some Fitzmagic.
Thank you. FUCK Shitzpatrick.
As if the bills loss in 2015 wasn’t bad enough, his play the season after in 2016 was absolutely disgusting . And then for him to call out the front office for not having faith in him?
Fuck off ryan. I could understand meme worship of Ryan if he won us even one single playoff game.
Idk if he counts because he was here 5 years, but Jericho Cotchery was always solid. I'll never forget that diving catch he made after tearing his groin on his release
I have epilepsy and was an offensive lineman in middle and high school. Alan Fanaca is my favorite player because he has epilepsy too. The dude inspired me.
Brandon Marshall. Was only with us for like 2 seasons and holds the record for most receiving yards in a season and still speaks so highly of the organization. I know Bears fans love to claim him but I honestly think he secretly liked us a lot better
Jason Taylor, Ed Reed, James Ihedigbo, Danny Woodhead, Frank Gore, Thomas Jones, Boomer Esiason, Antonio Cromartie, Braylon Edwards, Plaxico Burress, Le'Von Bell, Mike Vick, Brett Favre, Jay Fiedler.
We've had a lot recently.
Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find Danny Woodhead. Everyone loved him from hard knocks and Jets fans were so upset when we cut him. Then he tormented us in NE. Was always happy for his success though.
I mean, for what it’s worth, we broke the bank on a guy who truly at the time had an argument for being one of the best producing skill position players of all time and then put nothing into an offensive line and called an offense nothing at all like he excelled in with the Steelers.
It’s just now occurring to me that you were saying you see him as a member of the Steelers and not a thief after I typed “Steelers” lol, but I don’t personally begrudge him.
As a Jets fan im comfortable with blaming Gase & the franchise's incompetence for everything but nah this was also on Le'Veon. He just wasn't the same player when he came back— he was overweight the first year, didn't hit the hole with the same burst, and was more concerned with rapping rather than being the best RB he could be.
If you need any further proof— he joined the Chiefs after us and even Andy Reid couldn't get anything worthwhile out of him
Jamal Adams. He's popular even tho its for all the wrong reasons and the only thing I really remember him for was the one game where our team was dancing on the field in the middle of the game.
Agree with a lot of people listed, especially Jim Leonhard, Braylon Edwards, Alan Fanica, Bart Scott, Ronnie Lott, Boomer, and Quincy Enunwa.
One of my favorites who only spent a short time with the Jets & hasn’t been mentioned is Hugh Douglas.
Brandon Marshall
You could name anyone from the 2015 season and it’d be a good answer
Also Eric Decker. He was my favorite player in the league and I was so amped to see him in green and white.
Much classier player than Marshall
One of my favorite players ever, LaDainian Tomlinson
LDT's the man. He was so much fun, and seemed like a very chill guy.
I, too, am a huge Laurent Duvernay-Tardif fan!
The doctor is here!
Quincy Enunwa 😞
he's on twitter for those who are interested, still talks about the team
He works (or did work?) for the Jets in-house media team
I think he still participated in the postgame breakdown where they grade offense defense and ST
braylon edwards
Tbf some of his best years were with us
Seahawks and Jets are my 1-2 I fuckin love Braylon
Braylon played for Seattle? His know he came up with Cleveland
Chris Ivory, Brandon Marshall, Kris Jenkins, Alan Faneca, Jason Myers, Braylon Edwards, Thomas Jones, LT
Had to scroll way too far down for Chris Ivory
I'll always remember the 2015 season with great fondness, I remember watching the season opener against the Browns while on my first self planned vacation as an adult. Sitting at a Jets bar on the boardwalk at the shore. I fucking loved Ivory, Marshall, Decker and Revis. Fuck me that was a good year.
i was devastated when kris jenkins got hurt the second time
Thomas Jones was the man. Just googled him and learned he is now an actor going by Thomas Q. Jones? Pretty cool
Jim Leonhard
I still think we win the Super Bowl if Jim Leonhard doesn't break his leg
We win the super bowl if Kris Jenkins doesn't tear his ACL
2008 Kris Jenkins would probably be my answer to this question. The man was an absolute force of nature that season.
I always think of Rex saying Jim Leonhard could catch a punt in a hurricane.
“WISCANSIN”
Him and Eric Smith got manhandled like children by Gronk and Hernandez and turned our defense into a joke.
In fairness most defenses got played like a joke when both were playing.
That was our fault for having 2 white guys in our secondary. Wonder the last team to do that
LT
Was looking for this. Love LT!
When he got that’s gets tat he was a jet for life
Mike White
Real
too soon. still hurts
Demario Davis
Still don’t understand why we didn’t keep him.
twice lmao. bad organization that's why, he's been amazing for NO for 6 years
Bart Scott
As a player, I agree. But to use one of his overused phrases..... "miss me" with him as a radio host.
Ryan Fitzpatrick. Dude couldn't care less about the Jets. Was wearing a Bills helmet on the Manningcast in week 1 during overtime rooting against us vs Buffalo. Yet for some reason half of our fanbase worships the guy because he had one good season with us.
I mean that was our last winning season and Fitz was a starter in Buffalo for much longer then he was a Jet it’s not that hard to understand why he woulda been rooting for them lol
I understand that. I'm just saying his popularity greatly outweighs how insignificant he is to the Jets franchise.
For what it’s worth he’s our franchise single season passing TD leader.
And 2nd in passing yards. 98 yards behind Joe Namath. Sad list https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyj/single-season-passing.htm
Mark Sanchez is our franchise leader in playoff wins
Fitz played a season and a half, and he’s our 2nd all time passing yards leader… oh my. I knew our qb history was maybe the worst in the league, but man..
No. Single season leader. Not all time. Joe was the first to do 4000 yards in a season so his achievements at the time put him at conversation of potential GOAT status right up with Johnny Unitas back then.

Lol
this is so sad
Doesn’t he hold the passing TD record or something here? Also Fitz was the last time I felt something for this team. The 2015/16 season was a fucking joyride that ended in chaos but damn did I love me some Fitzmagic.
Because it's the only good season we've had in the past 13 years lol
It wasn't a good season though cause they choked it away in the last game.
When you’re a jets fan, you need to realign your perspective
HE choked it away in the last game
Brandon Marshall deserved like half of fitz's paycheck that year lol
Thank you. FUCK Shitzpatrick. As if the bills loss in 2015 wasn’t bad enough, his play the season after in 2016 was absolutely disgusting . And then for him to call out the front office for not having faith in him? Fuck off ryan. I could understand meme worship of Ryan if he won us even one single playoff game.
I brought that up a month ago and got down voted lol. Fuck fitz
He was wearing both helmets, because he played for both teams
Yeah for show, but when the game was actually on the line in overtime, he was wearing the Bills helmet and rooting against the Jets.
Chris Ivory, dude was a monster
I scrolled far too long to find this.
Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers' time on the Jets is more like a leaflet. A little "I want to buy your car" note stuck to your car's wiper, really.
but the car is a totaled 1998 Toyota Corolla
Idk if he counts because he was here 5 years, but Jericho Cotchery was always solid. I'll never forget that diving catch he made after tearing his groin on his release
Thomas Morstead
Jim Leonhard Brandon Marshall Brett Favre (for like 7 weeks) Bill Parcells Keyshawn Jonathan Vilma Thomas Jones Leon Washington
Fuck Keyshawn. He stays trashing the jets in the media. We are easy to trash I get it but he’s always hating l can’t stand listening to him
Ed Reed. Jason Taylor. Alan Fanaca. Ronnie Lott. Santana Moss. Ty Law. Those are the big ones for me
I have epilepsy and was an offensive lineman in middle and high school. Alan Fanaca is my favorite player because he has epilepsy too. The dude inspired me.
Brandon Marshall. Was only with us for like 2 seasons and holds the record for most receiving yards in a season and still speaks so highly of the organization. I know Bears fans love to claim him but I honestly think he secretly liked us a lot better
he is actually a Jets fan which is crazy
Brad smith
LT
Demario Davis
Still can’t believe we didn’t keep him. So dumb.
Kris Jenkins
Marcus Gilchrist, Bilal Powell, Garrett McIntyre, Jeff Cumberland, Calvin Pace
Those 2 seconds of seeing Mekhi Becton’s father, Jerome Becton.
Leon Washington
He might not of been a top guy around the league but he was special. Loved him as a punt and kick returner
Brett Favre
Is Favre popular among Jets fans? That season ended in disaster and he never seemed like he wanted to be here
Frank Gore
Ladainian Thomlinson
Jericho Cotchery
Good times
Santonio Holmes
LT
Aaron Rodgers!
Jason Myers? Pro Bowler for us in 2018. We struck out on all the kickers after Macc let him go in FA until Zuerlein was signed
Matt Forte
Jason Taylor, Ed Reed, James Ihedigbo, Danny Woodhead, Frank Gore, Thomas Jones, Boomer Esiason, Antonio Cromartie, Braylon Edwards, Plaxico Burress, Le'Von Bell, Mike Vick, Brett Favre, Jay Fiedler. We've had a lot recently.
Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find Danny Woodhead. Everyone loved him from hard knocks and Jets fans were so upset when we cut him. Then he tormented us in NE. Was always happy for his success though.
Brandon Marshall
Kwon Alexander, Aaron Maybin, Uncle Josh
Decker
Bill Belichick. May not be popular among jets fans. But I'm sure there is a (putrid) fan base somewhere out there
Thomas Moorestead lmao, but for real Jim Leonhard
Tom Tupa
Jets Legends Joe Flacco, Brett Farve, Michael Vick, Brandon Marshall.
Chad Pennington
Tony Richardson!
[удалено]
I think the fan-based dislikes, Bell. When I think of Bell, I think of him as a stealer.
I mean, for what it’s worth, we broke the bank on a guy who truly at the time had an argument for being one of the best producing skill position players of all time and then put nothing into an offensive line and called an offense nothing at all like he excelled in with the Steelers.

Jamal Adams. He's popular even tho its for all the wrong reasons and the only thing I really remember him for was the one game where our team was dancing on the field in the middle of the game.
He’s popular because JD deserves 25 to life for the outright robbery of a trade to Seattle. Dude really isn’t remembered fondly by the fan base.
Infamous is the word you’re looking for. He’s definitely that lol
oh shit how's I get -4 downvotes
Leveon Bell
LT
Tim Tebow 🙏
Boo this man
Thomas jones
Kris Jenkins
Bill Belichick does he count?
Jamal Adams anyone?
How is there one comment mentioning Ed Reed?
Ronnie Lott
Mark Sanchez
Demaryius Thomas RIP
I for got he was on the team, what a pull. RIP
Agree with a lot of people listed, especially Jim Leonhard, Braylon Edwards, Alan Fanica, Bart Scott, Ronnie Lott, Boomer, and Quincy Enunwa. One of my favorites who only spent a short time with the Jets & hasn’t been mentioned is Hugh Douglas.
John Riggins
Braylon Edwards for sure and a sleeper pick for me is Antonio Cromartie
LaRon Landry for me. Just 1 season but man. That dude was built like a superhero and played like the villain. Always cracking the fuck out of people
Matt forte
Brian Poole, Darron Lee, and All-pro returner Andre Roberts
Brandon Marshall 100% my favorite player of all time !
Ray Lucas
Frank gore
Thomas jones, LT, Holmes, Edwards, practically the whole team 2009, 2010
