Jim McMahon talks with Eli Manning about BYU's history as 'Quarterback U.' (via Omaha Productions) 

Except Michigan,Alabama,and Miami played against better competition.

Roy high?

@@andrewbolt6562 sadly yes

Pete Rozelle is rolling over in his grave. Lol😂

@@jimhurst6168 I’ll take Pete Rozelle and all his flaws over Roger Goodell any day. At least Rozelle didn’t ask us to pay cable to watch nfl games.

@@averydaymond1560 not to say an internet streaming service.

Didn't help when Charles Martin bulldozed him into the pavement. Biggest cheap shot in the history of the NFL

Single-handedly?

And one helluva mooner!

Really smart, good arm, good athlete. Too bad he got so beat up. He was great.

​@@notmarealnameboiYup; the Bears OL did Jimmy Mac no favors.

He's behind a couple others... ----------------------------------------------- Jim Plunkett !!!! Won two Super Bowls as a starter (2-0) Wasn't really expected to even make the team when he joined the Raiders. He had spent many years in New England and then San Francisco (where he was labeled a NFL bust) The guy had an amazing leadership aura that spread to the entire team. Two Super Bowl wins... 27-10 over the red hot Eagles in 1980-81... Then a Super Blowout over the Washington Redskins who just won a SB the previous year. No respect at all. Underrated isn't strong enough of a word. ---------------------------------------- * Eli Manning* (the other guy there in the interview) Beat Tom Brady ... TWICE! (2-0 in Super Bowls) Brady was enjoying an undefeated season and was already 3-0 in Super Bowl appearances prior to that game. I still hear and see Giants fans taking a huge dump on Eli in spite of those two epic SB wins. So like Plunkett... he won the games but couldn't win over the masses. -------------------------------------------- * Earl Morrall* (QB'd for 12 seasons before...) ...eventually taking over for aging and hurting Johnny Unitas and winning a Super Bowl (16-13) over Dallas and the Doomsday Defense (when they were young). He had played three years with the Giants prior, 7 years with the lions, and 2 with the Steelers and one with the 49ers. One of those years was split with the Steelers and Lions which he played 9 games for the latter). You would think his career would be over after 12 years. McMahon by comparison, spent a seven (7) years with the Bears before becoming a traveling backup journeyman. Played 15 years total... Yet winning just that one Super Bowl in 1985 with the aid of a terrific defense and power running game. Game never really fell onto Jim's shoulders. Hell, Steve Fuller (who played five games that year and maybe a playoff game) could have easily done the same or better against the Pats. Getting back to Earl Morrall, after his 3rd year with the Colts (where he won the Super Bowl) he joined the Miami Dolphins where he'd spent the next 6 years. Won two Super Bowls rings and was a huge factor in getting Miami to the 1972 game unbeaten after Griese was injured for the entire season. While Bob came back for the final two playoff games, Earl had a phenomenal year. Career record: 63-36-3 (and 3 Super Bowl rings out of 4 appearances - lost to the Jets in SB III). He was 44-4-1 (after joining the Colts during what would be his 13th career season!). Played 21 years. --------------------------------------------- * Nick Foles* (ultimate journeyman) Played only 11 seasons and going 29-29 (not including postseason). Won a Super Bowl over heavily favored New England. Basically, beat the same team; New England Patriots just as the Bears had done... Although his Eagles, didn't have the same top tier level running game the Bears had... Nor, the amazing defense the '85 Bears had. Foles had games where he tossed 7 touchdowns... ( I know he had at least one... thought he had a second) So he was a decent QB (leader) and a decent (but inconsistent) passer. Never spent longer than 3 years with the same team. Eagles had him for 3, then he went around to a couple others before returning to the Eagles to win a SB and play one more year with them). Spent last 4 years with 3 different teams. Had some great games just about every year. Except for that 0-4 season he played with Jax. ------------------------------------------------- Those that are either equal to Jim or slightly better: Without getting into too much Detail, here are some more QB's that won a SB and in spite of some fame they were underrated afterwards. * Ben Rothlisberger* (Steelers) Apparently, two Super Bowl wins just wasn't enough in some people's eyes to give him merit. 2-1 career in SB's and damn near come from behind win in the last (had he won that and got MVP... who knows?). Wide receivers on his team raked in the MVP's (Ward and Holmes). While not hating on those choices (Ben did suck in the 21-10 win ---at least stat wise. From a QB perspective, he was able to motivate the team to do great things. Yet still snubbed even today. * Mark Rypien* (Redskins) Won the 1991 Super Bowl vs Buffalo, 37-24 In spite of getting the SB MVP... still today he's often forgotten and ignored much the same way Jim Plunkett is. Jim won two Super Bowls (I think he also won SB MVP over the Eagles... can't remember). But still Mark's single win and MVP wasn't enough to make "non-Redskin fans" put him on a list of great SB QB's. * Russell Wilson (Seattle) If it weren't for a goal line interception when the team should have RUN the ball.... A 2-0 (in the SB) record would given Russ some much needed respect. Instead, he's just "participant" in a great defensive SB (vs Denver) where it very much even resembled what the Bears did to New England in 1985. In fact, they even got a safety just like the Bears (albeit was the first score whereas the Bears got their last) Seattle was just a field goal less than what McMahon and Chicago did. * Drew Brees (Saints) With all the odd things that happened in his SB appearance, he was overshadowed credit-wise by them. The onside kick... the INT return... all contributed to Brees lack of respect from around the league. (always a good gauge to measure by when you see comments from "neutral fans") * Brad Johnson* (Tampa Bay's win over the Raiders) wasn't given as much credit because he lived in the shadow of his team's defense (similar to McMahon situation). * Trent Dilfer* (Ravens) Helped beat the Giants 34-7 and never got one ounce of respect due to the Raven's defense and strong running game. I put him even with Jim because Jim had the same exact thing going on in 1985 as Dilfer did in his SB win.

It's too bad Archie in his years with the Saints never had an offensive line to protect him from the many sacks he endured. I wish he had been traded long before he was. He was virtually unstoppable in college.

@@muffs55mercury61 today's NFL and NCAA offenses are geared for running quarterbacks that use continuation. They keep the play going running and then running or passing. Archie was the first and still in my opinion, the best dual threat quarterback and very high football IQ.

​@@barrywatts875Completely agreed, Barry. W/a little irony (& "luck"), Archie Manning finished his career w/the Houston Oilers & 1 of his teamm8s was Oliver Luck (Andrew's dad/4mer XFL Commissioner).

@@billybandyk0720 you are right

@@barrywatts875 U betcha, Barry. As u alrdy know; the Colts had Peyton Manning & Andrew Luck. Hence; the "irony". Speaking of Andrew Luck; 2 fuckin' bad that his injuries 4ced an early retirement. I luv his style of play; so reminiscent of Archie Manning (but w/slightly better OL play).

Heisman winner? Yes....Total offense/passing yards?...Not anymore!-lol

It's crazy because most of them were just average in the NFL..

Because he was a pussy( cat.) Talked shit about Joe Montana and McMahon after his departure fom the Cult. Fck Steve Young . I'll take Montana any day over him. YOUNG was a glorified scrambler. Montana and Marino were head and shoulders over him.

You noticed, too? So did we all.

Or Ty Detmer… ??

Yep Hall of Famer Steve Young

Too many!

He was probably a little jealous of Steve's overall success. lol

He's actually looking better than he was a few years ago. He will be 65 later this year.

Taysom hill

What are you inferring? And why?

@@johantrenier1685 , Media reported how bad Jim had become after all those concussions playing the NFL. I guess all that stuff goes away after one receives settlement money.

@@robertcornelius3514 I had heard you have good and bad days. Might have been a better day for him. I’ve followed him on instagram for years. He’s not making it up.

​@@robertcornelius3514☠️☠️

Those have been my thoughts for years. As far as McMahon goes, IMHO he is vastly overrated and wouldn’t have even sniffed a Super Bowl but for the Bear’s defense.

​@@user-kp9iy3fc6i Jim's inability to stay healthy is what really prevented the Bears from potentially going to three straight Super Bowls. The 49ers shut them out in 84 and they lost to the Redskins in 86. The Bears offense was one-dimensional without McMahon.

@@duydo6924 Yea, Walter Payton.

@@user-kp9iy3fc6iStill a one-dimensional offense. The Bears' passing game was non-existent. Everything was predicated on running the ball with Sweetness. Shit was too predictable. 49ers shut them out in 84 for a reason. In fact, the 49ers were rubbing it in after the game. Told the Bears to bring an offense next time. I highly suggest you watch the 30 for 30 documentary for the '85 Bears.

@@duydo6924 Been there done that. You have your opinion and I have mine. I base my opinion as a veteran of 25 years as a varsity football coach at the 6A level in Texas.

who? if you're talking about Jim they've pretty much closed that rift over the last few few years and seem to be on pretty good terms now. He's been back to give a number of speeches and BYU added him to their Hall of Fame so seems to have been mended.

@@Jeremyjensenbyu not just last few years. Past 15 years they were mended.

Love the game when down by over 20 points and Jim McMahon told catch "I'm not coming out " and in around 5 minutes BYU came back and wins !

that's not the case at all. He and the AD are good friends. He just wasn't a big Steve Young guy. Steve sometimes comes across a little preachy, LOL.. probably rubbed Jimmy the wrong way.

@@karlchristen he said the best thing about BYU was when he was leaving
