“A lot of people want to look at Jim as a strange dude but I just look at him as a football player who was a tremendous leader. I’ve played with a number of good quarterbacks, decent quarterbacks. The only outstanding quarterback, championship quarterback that I’ve ever been associated with was Jim McMahon.” -Gary Fencik
What a trip to see this Vid. I was taken to the football games around age 8. My parents had met and graduated from BYU. My Dad had some very 'grandfathered' season tickets at the Cougar Stadium 50-yard line. I only went because there was Soda and Hotdogs, didn't understand squat about football. One game, I was sitting with my Dad and his 2 Brothers. I remember my Eldest uncle during a game leaning over to tell the others: "Doesn’t look like that shoulder is bothering him anymore!” Was a game where Jim came back from shoulder surgery. The greatest memory I have of that game is, I asked my uncle to my right about this and that and he realized I didn't understand the game of football. Thus, he explained after that every play and ever since then, I've been a True BYU/Football Fan. Plus, I follow the BYU Players through their NFL careers which makes a lifelong passion for the game continue…
My dad's college team was Colorado State and unfortunately, BYU was in the WAC...and kicked the snot out of CSU pretty much every year. Thus, my dad HATED Jim McMahon with a passion. And part of that came down to a game where BYU was once again beating the living crap out of CSU and Lavell Edwards left McMahon in the game to get some sort of passing record. (My brother claims he watched Steve Young, the backup, throw a temper tantrum on the sideline because he couldn't go in as relief, but my brother isn't a reliable narrator) All this to say my dad was highly amused by George Martin's cheap shot.
So, the narration skills run in the family? 🤭😁 Interesting tale, the bit about #SteveYoung might well explain the tension (and plausible tantrums) of having to sit behind the incomparable #JoeMontana
I remember someone saying he came into Halas hall, sat next to Papa Bear himself with a beer in his hand and sunglasses on. Papa scratched his head, looking around and said "...is this *the* guy?"
Packers fans calling out the Bears for only having 1 Super Bowl while choosing to ignore their player intentionally injuring McMahon to prevent a back-to-back
The Bears probably would have repeated if McMahon was healthy da Bears probably repeat and they beat NE in SB 20 46-10. Then Broncos are whipped in SB 21 by over 19 pts and students of all ages in CO get a bereavement day.
The number of QB records McMahon set in college is just insane. And some of those records took decades to break. Like he was that good. He had 70 NCAA records when he was done and then finished 3rd in Heisman voting, can you say east coast bias? Also it's scary to think what he could've done if not for that injury to his shoulder. Even scarier what he could've done if the Bears actually provided him with top shelf receivers. Or if he was on a team that was heavy on passing. Imagine McMahon on a west coast offense. He'd have eaten the NFL record book for breakfast.
He should have been SB MVP too... Yes, the D ruled, but all 11 men were great, as usual... on offense, Payton was stopped, OLers never get MVP votes, the WRs were average (except Gault when he held on the bombs he was thrown to). McMahon still holds the record for Y/Att in a SB at 12.8. Literally every pass went long, no matter if jump passes, roll outs, or bombs. Awesome to watch, both the D, and McMahon srurviving and thus winning a football game. Compared to the nowadays dink, dork, honk and donk passing, 80s football was brutal but beautiful.
As a Packers fan living in a house full of Packers fans, I got nothing but biased information about him. Thanks for this vid, Five, you've really changed my opinion about the guy.
McMahon almost single-handedly willed the '91 Eagles to the playoffs. Philly had an insane defense led by players that Buddy Ryan had brought in and, had it not been for comically bad play from some of the quarterbacks that preceded him that year, would have done some serious damage. I consider that year to be Jim's best quarterbacking year.
82 (2nd best passer rating ever by a rookie back then), 84 (highly efficient), 85 (carrying the team until the D clicked by about week 4), 87 (with all those comebacks), and yes 91... Hard to judge which was the best. The were all great, and still marred with his usual injuries.
I'm the punky QB, known as McMahon. When I hit the turf, I've got no plan. I just throw my body all over the field. I can't dance, but I can throw the pill. I motivate the cats, I like to tease. I play so cool, I aim to please. That's why you all got here on the double To catch me doin' the Super Bowl Shuffle.
Also the 80s when QBs didn't wear wristbands with the plays on them and didn't just audible when they wanted, they called their own plays. Dan Fouts basically gave coaches ulcers with how he didn't care what plays were sent in to him.
After 105 or so seasons, Jimbo remains the Bears greatest quarterback. No one had more determination, guts, talent than this man. John Madden stated Jim was "the best QB of 1980's"....
I'm pretty sure that sometimes forgetting why I walk into a room is just something that happened as I got older, because I know I don't have dementia. Hell, I forgot what I was typing in the middle of the last sentence. 🤷♂🤣
Packers fans talk all that noise, but had to intentionally injure him because they couldn't win. Say what you will about how bad the Bears have been, but they've never stooped to that level
The balls it took to be a swaggy white guy qb knowing all the dls and lbs wanted a good shot. Chicago. For a 1000 years Chicago. Hands down my favorite qb. Not the best, but definitely my favorite. Jimmy Mac, Pirate Quarterback.
Involved in 3 of the biggest comebacks in teams history he played for: BYU Holiday Bowl, The "Roller Dome" comeback on TNF in 85, and the Philly comeback vs CLE... and the QB of the best, most awesome, most crazy team ever across all sports: Da 85 Bears. The true last action hero.
Jim was also injured in the 1985 season, and despite Steve Fuller's best efforts, it was during Steve's run as QB that the Bears lost the 1 game vs Miami ironically. And yeah Charles Martin is not allowed back in GB for that late hit, even if it was against the Bears. His 2 game suspension was the first of its kind, setting a precedent against dirty play, so it at least did something.
Get out of here. That guy was so overrated. He was a great college passer because of the BYU system that made stars out of multiple future NFL busts, but he was nothing more t han a big personality in the NFL. He handed off to Walter Payton, tossed an ocassional bomb to Willie Gault, and let an historic defense do the hard work. Had he not been on that '85 Bears team, been in that embarrasingly bad Super Bowl Shuffle video, or mooned a helicopter few people would even remember him.
@@MarkMay-cr6bv ya naw he was ight be he wasn’t great by any means. Rex grossman very similar. I’m just saying his personality his play his drama his whole career etc. is just 1980s football 😂 if someone asked me about football I’m the 80s I show them big Jim and LT as far as linking pro sports with the time and culture of that decade
I was born in 1995 in Chicago and people would talk about Walter Payton, Michael Jordan, The Fridge, Mike Ditka, Dick Butkus and of course our boy Jim Mcmann. They would talk about him like he was a psycho who could take any hit and keep going. Love my city.
For those that don't know how absolutely BONKERS BYU is, one time I went there for a basketball tournament and they gave me a shirt to wear in the cafeteria because tank tops (even worn by men) were outlawed.
@@crmay72 does adult beverages include *anything* with caffeine? Bc that was also outlawed when I was there 😆 I think now you *might* be able to buy a coke.
@@michaelmcgough2580 Alrighty then! So had I been there when you were there, let's just say I'd be calling you from jail to come bail me out! Gotta have either a diet coke (with caffeine) or some coffee in the morning! 🤣
Legend has it that as he climbed out of limo to meet the President of BYU, he knocked a beer can from the floor.... In those days BYU was widely known as 'the Mormon Air Force', as was allowed to air it out at will.
No coach today would let a QB do what McMahon did. Even Brady didn't get to have the latitude McMahon did. McMahon didn't just audible whenever he wanted, he'd call his own plays. And given how often they worked out, well Ditka could scream at him but what was he going to do? Bench the best play caller the Bears had?
I don’t think McMahon really felt any animosity toward Doug Flutie. He was just open and vocal about his support for Fuller and Tomczak. Most likely due to Mike Ditka having never shown any sort of loyalty to his quarterbacks.
Bill Pickel: “Pick L.” But to get to the reality… McMahon showed up after being drafted in a limo with beer. People heard he was BYU and made it a bigger deal. Note: the fork in his eye was when he used a fork to try to undo a knot as a kid.
Jim McMahon man was one of the best quarterback. All he cared about was winning. And he threw he didn’t care about his body that’s why he didn’t last that long.
When Jim McMahon was healthy, the Bears WON. He had 26 CONSECUTIVE wins as QB when he was starting. It's shame they only had 1 Super Bowl to show for it. After 1985, the Redskins made the Bears their bitch winning 2 divisional playoff games that includes 2 regular season games in 1990 and 1991. The sad thing is that McMahon's body was made of glass and playing on that Soldier Field astroturf until 1988 sure as hell didn't help. Now he's paying for the years of football with CTE like symptoms and chronic injuries. I wouldn't be shocked if he did have CTE when he dies.
An all-time defense, an all-time RB, and the coolest QB ever…..85 Bears had swag.
heaviest guy to have a TD for awhile too
@@poindextertunesin the super bowl**

My favorite all-time Bear.
He won football games.
the bears would have won more than 1 if he was able to stay healthy (Instead of doug flutie 1 year)

If Charles Martin wasnt a pos we would’ve.

Considering some of the wild shit athletes were getting up to off the field in the 80s and 90s, Jim McMahon was pretty tame, actually.
Most underrated QB ever.
Haha as a Chicago kid living in park city area I loved the powder day reference
I'm really convinced the bears def woulda played in 3-5 straight super bowls if he could have stayed healthy

Fun Fact: Jim McMahon is the only player in NFL history with both a Packers (1996) & Bears (1985) Super Bowl ring.
