There can only be four. That’s what makes the New York Jets Mount Rushmore such a difficult chore.
Greatest player in Jets history comes a little easier. Sure, the rebels will dismiss Joe Namath and his questionable statistics, but the overall majority of football fans who understand what Super Bowl 3 meant to the NFL make the “greatest in team” history quite simple.
The top 10 players in organizational history is also a simpler exercise, as is assembling the Jets all-time 53-man roster.
But only four? That’s what makes this one incredibly frustrating yet overwhelmingly frustrating.
