    I think Dick Curl should be on there as well.

    Wesley Walker has to be on that list. He was the one wide receiver that we had who could & did dominate games when he was healthy. Oh, you can't leave Don Maynard out either.

    anybody but chrebet! he is completely and totally overrated by most jet fans. he was an average at best receiver who everybody just wants to blow... why exactly i dont know but everybody loves him way too much.

    how about al toon a real receiver who actually deserves to be talked about in the way that you all talk about overrated chrebet. or maybe wesley walker, also a far better receiver than chrebet.

    you guys come on here and talk like wayne chrebet is the only guy who ever put effort in on the field for the jets. MANY MANY players have put tons of effort in. many many guys have put effort in and been better than wayne chrebet.

    i have to wonder, and realize i am asking a question here. do many of you have this head over heals love for wayne chrebet because he is the short, slow guy from a lower division college who actually made it to the nfl? and that remiinds you of what you always thought you could do when you were in high school?

    You guys have zero sense of history. These should be the four Jets on Mount Rushmore:

    Harry Wismer (George Washington) - Washington was the father of the new country and laid the foundation of American democracy. Wismer was the original owner of the Jets and help lay the foundation of a new league.

    Joe Namath (Thomas Jefferson) - Thomas Jefferson, (3rd president) was the author of the Declaration of Independence, a document which inspires democracies around the world. Namath was the author of the AFL/NFL merger and inspired Jets fans around the world.

    Sonny Werblin (Theodore Roosevelt - Theodore Roosevelt, (26th president) provided leadership when America experienced rapid economic growth as it entered the 20th Century. Werblin was the driving force behind the Jets growth and led the team when they were first called the Jets.

    Dennis Byrd (Abraham Lincoln) - Lincoln, our 16th president held the nation together during its greatest trial, the Civil War. Dennis Byrd, temporarily paralyzed, showed in one of the more trying times in Jets history, what could be accomplished in times of trial on the field.

    Historically speaking, these would be the four Jets I'd put on Mount Rushmore.
