    Walker Was A Beast

    Loved his speed. Hill reminds of him a little in that Walker dropped a lot of passes when the Jets first drafted him. Imagine if he had Marino throwing to him, he would be in the Hall of Fame. Walker never got caught from behind and if he was even he was leaving. Glad to see one of my favorites get recognized.

    I love Wesley but he dropped a lot of passes throughout his career.

    That's not true, he was the best WR on the team in 1995 and 2000:)

    Makes Ken O'Brien Look Great

    But he was a human sack machine. I hated that pick from the very beginning. Marino was there for the taking and Mike Hickey, Jim Kensil and Joe Walton took Ken O'Brien. I couldn't believe it I saw Marino when he was a freshman in college and thought at the time he was gonna be great. But the cociane rumors (actually was true) cause Marino to slip. O'Brien hung Al Toon out to dry so many times over the middle. O'Brien would never throw the ball out of bounds always took the sack and that was frustrating giving up so many yards.

    A lot of good names coming up but Wayne Cherbet does not belong in the ring of honor.

    There are a lot of great players like Marty Lyons, Mickey Shuler, Al Toon, Kyle Clifton, Sean Ellis, and Kevin Mawae on the outside looking in. Several players from the SB III team are deserving as well.

    Only so many guys can be added to the ring of honor before it loses it's staus.

    WW was my favorite Jet growing up.

    Gastineau was great, but ended up becoming a caricature of himself.
