Still holds the NFL record for most consecutive winning starts at 25. Unbeaten as a starting quarterback from 1984 to 1987. Steve Young said he learned the game of football watching Jim from the bench at BYU. Ditka said they don't win a Lombardi without McMahon. Legend.
It didn’t matter that McMahon had just set 70 NCAA passing records because Chicago’s 1940’s style offense was never supposed to produce an NFL HOF quarterback. The fact is the Bears were lucky that McMahon also had the brains and balls to win in spite of that.
Totally shocked the LDS BYU community did allow this to happen, but JimmyMac is a Super Bowl winner and that SMU game was unbelievable, they had to do it whether they liked him or not!
@orlando tocano: why is this such a shock that mcmahon would be inducted into the byu hall of fame? the man was one of the best quarterbacks in byu football history. yes, he was a wild kid back in the day, but he's really grown up since then
Yup! ALMOST a PERFECT season in 1985! I remember where I was when the Bears lost to the Dolphins that Monday Night! Ironically, to the team who OWNED that record in 1972!
@@mr.blackhawk142 The irony of you posting what you just said to the facebook post i just posted saying "I feel tough as nails and agile AF right now" wow. True knowers of reality get how badass Jim was...They woulda repeated in '86 if it wasnt for the charles martin body slam. Sports are fake either way but i still tend to believe in past fairy tales.
You homers tap the brakes. Joe Montana and Dan Marino might have something to say about it. Especially Montana. Everything he did put McMahons number to shame. From victories, to super bowl wins, etc.
Those were great years, BYU had some amazing offensive lineman, who had great careers in the NFL. The WRs never dropped passes while running exacting routes. They could have beaten anyone.
Vince green How fucking dare you? Do you realize you would be racist just saying that? I'm Mormon and I find that offensive and also why are you here if you hate BYU and Mormons you arrogant fucker. Don't come here and make fun of shit when you have no clue as to what you're talking about. Don't like it don't be here so get the fuck out.
@@settinitstraight8332 Look, BYU homer. Marc Wilson, Ty Detmer, Gifford Neilsen, Robbie Bosco: Prospered at Brigham Young, sucked in the NFL. Get YOUR head out. Are YOU really THAT stupid? The late, great Todd Christensen even said multiple times Marc Wilson was pathetic. Dude was out of football a whole season (1988) because he couldn't even beat out sorry-ass Randy Wright (absolutely NO relation, THANK GOD) for a BACKUP quarterback job with the woeful Green Bay Packers. "I learned a lot from Marc Wilson." YIKES.
2nd the watching. He do a great job on speech. Cool Drs and a patient wife have helped him. He sounds way better. Cool he finished his schooling. Glad his time at BYU was overall a good thing for him.

He had the best defense the NFL has ever seen behind him
@@lesgobrandon9444 Yeah, and they were incredibly awesome in '84, but the team without McMahon was still shut out by the 49ers in the Championship.
You have to love that suit Jim McMahon wore to this. I admire how he just doesn't give a f--- what other people think. LOL!
Yup! With that outfit we could call Jim a hippie, but he don't got the ................... HAIR!
the black shirt looks rad
The NFL owes this man the HOF. Stats aren't everything. He added thousands of fans.
Not a hof qb by a 1000miles. Just stop. Coming from a huge fan of Jim.
@@STEEPPOW He had an impact on the game on top of being a SB champ. Not a Trent Dilfer type there would be no SB XX without McMahon.

that jacket is epic.
Loved his attitude in the nfl!
Great interview, thanks Jim for the memories, played against you at Weber high, but so cool a local did so well, thanks again

...they know what to expect! Nonetheless, he’s Cougar football and an excellent quarterback in a long line of great quarterbacks.

If he wasnt a good enough person for that SCHOOL, they should not have let him play and earn them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Screw BYU..
Legend. Most fearless qb in nfl history on the greatest team ever in nfl history.

@@dickhead2998 Sports are fake? What?
The SMU BYU game was an unbelievable game. a great humble speech and a remarkable athlete
He showed up to sign his Bears contract with a 6 Pack of beer, we were like, who is this nut? 😂🤣
yes, and a few minutes later, when he met George Halas, he said, "How ya doing, HALAS?"
What a beautiful gracious speech! So humble, so generous!
He thanked everyone except his Head Coach LaVell Edwards.
Jim McMahon without a doubt was and is THE BEST BYU quarterback ever.
I enjoyed playing against you Jim in 81-82 in the Holy War. Stay healthy.
love the mac!!
Jim McMahon
Number one quarterback of the 1980s.
The world according too McMahon
1985 Chicago Bears
Greatest team in NFL history.
He’d have a few that agree with him. There’s numbers to back it up...not saying I agree.
You homers tap the brakes. Joe Montana and Dan Marino might have something to say about it. Especially Montana. Everything he did put McMahons number to shame. From victories, to super bowl wins, etc.
My all time favorite byu quarterback.
CRAZY JIMMY 🤪
WAY TO GO MAN
I LOVE THIS MAN SO MUCH!!!!!!!
Jimmy Mac and Steve Young. Best of the best at QB U
Those were great years, BYU had some amazing offensive lineman, who had great careers in the NFL. The WRs never dropped passes while running exacting routes. They could have beaten anyone.
I’m not so sure about that...but, they overachieved.
The GOAT!
❤the jacket is absolute killer
Screw the utes we beat them every year in the 80's Jim is the pride of BYU.the ball moves so fast when he threw.
Heather Guenther fuck byu and mormons
Vince green

I speak for many Raiders fans: 1:46--"I learned a lot from Marc Wilson..." YIKES!!!
Was an excellent quarterback in college.
@joseph wright: he didn't say "i learned a lot from raiders qb marc wilson." come on, pull your head out
@@settinitstraight8332 C'mon. Pull YOUR head out. Wilson was horrible in the pros. "I learned a lot from Marc Wilson." YIKES!!!
@@JAWrightonline: pull your head out. he meant he learned a lot from marc wilson when he was at byu. are you really this stupid?

What a gamer!
Is there video of the rest of the evening somewhere?
Wish I could see his eyes
He has a damaged eye since his playing days, McMahon had to use a tinted helmet visor because of the light glare.
kept it short and simple ;-)
Wally English is the coach between Doug Scovil and Ted Tollner!
I can't believe I never knew that McMahon went to BYU. In my defense he's not exactly your typical Mormon guy.
He is not Mormon, he is catholic I believe
Amazing, did his dementia lawsuit come after this speech? Sure doesnt have a memory issue here.
Who was he talking about who was awful?
Wally English
He is demented but I like him. He is politically correct in a bizarre way but I'm sure Chicago is even more screwed up than he is
No doubt...he did win a SB in Chicago. Anyone else come to mind? Don’t say Rex Grossman. 😂😂😂
