2008 Jetsies

Last year we gave out the first annual Jetsies Awards, and we’re back at it again this season. It works like this: we put together a ballot and you vote. Simple!

Last year the ballot was created by us, but this time around we’d like your help. Some of the categories are subjective so we need your help to remember the season that we’ve worked hard already to forget. Please leave any of your nominations for these categories in the comments, or email them to us.

2007 Jets Fan Favorite Player?
2007 Favorite Jets Play

Whatever you do, be sure to note for which category you are nominating a player (MVP or Favorite).

  19. MVP: Leon Washington
    Fan fave: David Harris
    Fave Play: Clemens to JoeKo in the endzone. (I think he headbutt a defenseless Chad with his helmet on)

  20. DSmizzle, Well put my man! A little grease goes a long way. Woody and pace get like 10 mill garunteed and we cant give baker another 1Mill!

  21. Face it Baker fans. Tannenbaum can care less about Chris Baker. With all the talent the Jets have added this offseason caring about a TE who bad mouths you in the media over a play call is stupid. The best play the guy ever had didn’t count.

  22. Reciprocity, do people watch the games or just look up the receiving stats on ESPN when talking about Baker?

  23. MVP — Pete Kendall

  24. MVP: N/A
    Fan Fav: Revis/ Harris
    Fav. Play: the flea flicker to L. Coles during the Pittsburgh game.

  25. MVP- David HArris
    Fan Fav- Leon Washington
    Fav play: 0:00 on the clock game sixteen, seeing that bum Herm leave town with a frowm (priceless).

  26. I love David Harris as much as all of you, but I find it interesting that so many Jet fans have named him the MVP. While Harris did put up astounding tackling numbers, he also played on a defense that was on the field for the majority of the game. The NFL always has young LBs on bad teams put up huge numbers in their rookie seasons (jonathon Vilma, Patrick Willis, Jon Beason, David Harris). While I do think Harris will be a stud, I cant help but wonder why I am the only one who feels Darrelle Revis was BY FAR the most impressive player on the team. He consistently shut down top WRs week in and week out, while only allowing 2 TDs all season! We all know how tough it is for rookies to come in and play, but cornerback is known as the toughest position for a rookie to play other than QB. With that said, why does Revis get out shadowed by Harris? Just my thoughts, but im interested in hearing what all of you think. In my mind Revis is already a top 5 cb, and I think he will become the new Champ Bailey of the NFL.

    Go Jets

  27. I think b/c a true shut-down corner doesn’t put up stats, especially when the rest of the team’s CB’s are turds, like the JETS. If he is shutting guys down, he isn’t making plays (well, in reality, he is doing so silently, like an offensive lineman).

    An MLB is going to get his tackles.

  28. DSmizzle, if I had to choose between keeping Revis or Harris I would choose Revis without hesitation. As much as I love Harris, it is much easier to find a great tackling MLB than it is to find a shutdown corner. There are no more than 10 cbs in the NFL who can do what Revis does, meanwhile almost every team in the NFL has a David Harris type player. How many have a Darrelle Revis?

  29. [...] with Bassett about to award the coveted Jetsies for the past season, I thought I would augment the team hardware with a few awards of my own . . . [...]
