In 1993, the Cincinnati Bengals traded away QB Boomer Esiason to the New York Jets, with a condition in the contract being that the Bengals receive a second round pick in 1994 if Boomer Esiason has a passer rating of 89. Somehow, entering the final week of the season, he was right on the border, which led to a bizarre scenario where some Jets fans were rooting for Esiason to stink in the finale against the Houston Oilers so that they'd keep their second round pick. This is the story behind this absolutely bizarre trade during the 1993 NFL season

Boomer Esiason is a former American football quarterback and sports analyst who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 14 seasons, primarily with the Cincinnati Bengals. He was selected by the Bengals in the second round of the 1984 NFL Draft, where he spent 10 nonconsecutive seasons. Esiason was also a member of the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals. To date, he is the last Bengals quarterback to lead the franchise to victory in the playoffs, doing so in 1990.
During his playing career, Esiason was named to four Pro Bowls and received first team All-Pro honors. His most successful season came with the Bengals in 1988 when he won NFL Most Valuable Player and led the team to a Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XXIII, which ended in a close defeat. After nine years in Cincinnati, Esiason spent three seasons with New York and one season with Arizona before returning to the Bengals for his final season in 1997.
Since retiring from football, Esiason has worked as a football analyst for CBS Sports on The NFL Today and Showtime's Inside the NFL and was previously with ABC, HBO, and Westwood One. He also hosts the morning sports radio program Boomer and Gio on WFAN in New York

The Jets had a chance to make the playoffs in the Houston game. A win would have clinched a wildcard spot for them. They swept the Dolphins that year and would have won a tiebreaker over Pittsburgh had they won and finished 9-7.

Nagle’s quote just showed how dumb he is

@TheAlfrulz 3 года назад

I think the primary reason the Jets started Esiason in the regular season finale was because New York still had a chance to make the playoffs. A fortunate series of events earlier in the day left New York in control of their destiny. Win and they get the sixth and final wild card spot. Granted, Esiason's performance went into a terrible nosedive in the second half of the year, but the Jets had seemingly lost hope in Nagle, who would not return to the team in 1994. I believe the concern of the Jets and their fans going into Houston was to get to the playoffs. That alone might of saved Coslet's job (that and being open to hiring an offensive coordinator). But it's always great hearing about something overlooked and forgotten.

The Jets were not only "somehow" alive for playoff contention as the video footnote mentions, they were going to qualify if they had won the game in Houston. The Patriots upset the Dolphins in overtime earlier in the day, setting the table for the Jets to just win to get in. It's ridiculous to assume that that some Jets fans would have been rooting for Esiason to fail because of an obscure clause that none of them were aware of. Jets fans are a strange breed, but they want their team in the playoffs like anyone else.

@gluserty 3 года назад

I've said this already, but Boomer Esiason was fantastic whenever Bruce Coslet was involved with the offense Esiason was QBing, but the seasons without Coslet things were more dodgy. I think Boomer was good, and if those mid/late 1980s Bengals played defense once in awhile (only in 1988 did the Boomer-led Bengals play respectable D, and look! Super Bowl 23, & the Bengals; I feel they were 1988's best team as well, even if they came up short in the end). The 1993 Jets blew a playoff spot by losing early games they could've won (versus Eagles & Raiders), a dumb loss to the Colts later, a difficult final 3 games (Cowboys, Bills, Oilers), and the fact that they only scored 36 points over their final 6 games. I think it was a pretty weird Jets season and overall team (2-1 start, 3-game losing streak, 6-1 run, then 3-game losing streak).

@johncarasone8979 3 года назад

I like your videos, but you've completely omitted the fact that if the Jets won that game they would have made the PLAYOFFS!!! Of course the Jets were going to play Boomer! This 'bizarre scenario' you describe didn't really exist as no Jets fans were calling for Nagle to start that game.

One of the best NFL season finale weeks in history both for scenarios, matchups, and games. Long/short as far as the Jets were concerned was they needed a Miami or Pittsburgh loss to have a chance.

Through the first 10 games, the Bengals averaged 23.4 points a game. Their points scored in the last 6 games: 6, 6, 3, 7, 14, 0. Yeah. And I thought throughout this video that maybe Boomer's start and dropoff were a strength-of-schedule illusion, but I don't think so. The only bad teams they played in the first 10 weeks were Indy and Cincinnati. Three of those low-scoring point totals in the last 6 weeks came against 4-12 Indianapolis, 4-12 Washington, and 5-11 New England. The other three against 3 of the best teams in the league (Buffalo, Dallas, Houston). Just to put icing on the cake, they actually won 2 of the games where they scored in single digits. They beat the Colts 6-0 and rather infamously beat Washington 3-0 in a nationally televised Saturday afternoon game, a game that very much summed up how 1993 NFL had devolved into a field-goal-kicking contest. No matter how much people want to romanticize it now, the early '90s NFL was *not* a good on-field product. 1993 in particular was a low point that led to the introduction of the 2-point conversion and the moving back of missed FGs to the spot of the kick in '94, in an effort to encourage more teams to play for TDs.

The trade itself wasn't "bizarre"; the conditions were a little odd, but a coach trading for a veteran QB he knows in hopes of saving his job makes a lot of sense. It would have been weird for the fans to root against Boomer if the Jets had been playing for a possible playoff spot, but per the video they weren't, making it a meaningless game. Also, in the '94 draft the Cowboys picked Larry Allen five picks after Yarburough, so it wasn't like that 2nd rounder wasn't valuable; the Jets just picked poorly www.drafthistory.com/index.php/years/1994 .

Plus, Yarbrough is was the first pitcher to be the "bulk pitcher" when the Rays became the first team to use the "Opener" strategy in 2018.

Coslet made the right call by playing Esiason. You always play to win. There was no guarantee he would finish with an 89 rating. If the 2nd round pick was that important Jets ownership could have overruled Coslet.

"Suck for Yarborough!" Oh, Jets fans....

@caponsacchi 2 года назад

"Boomer" could be synonymous with "erratic." He led the Bengals to their 2nd Super, but his stats in the game suggest he didn't show up. At least K.Anderson set a new record for passing yds (300) in his Super defeat. Boomer would retire with more losses than wins, but how was he able to return to the Bengals with 4 straight "easy" wins? Going out in style!

@d0nKsTaH 3 года назад

You mentioned WR Yarborough at the end.... this guy was supposed to be the next Jerry Rice. Unfortunately, he didn't get enough playing time to prove it at all. Totally busted out..but I point the finger at the coaches more (kinda like the Nagle situation). There should be a list of players who really really had some strong potential but ended up with the dumbest coaches ever. People blast Coslet (and yes, he was pretty bad with the Jets with his choices).. but don't forget Rich Kotite. Former Eagles coach who got fired for having a terrible terrible year.. and the very next season he was with the Jets. Guy did not even deserve a 2nd chance that soon to be a head coach. Reminded me of Richie Pettibon of Washington who stunk up the Redskins. You should do a video about terrible coaches who went on to get fired by one team... hired by another the very next season and still sucked. I bet you could do a four-coach montage in one video. Rich Kottie would be my #1 on that list.. sure there are a few others ;)

@nicholassmith479 3 года назад

Boomer was a highly streaky quarterback. Several times in his career he had games where he was unstoppable. After he left the Jets, he played for the Cardinals had had greatest month in NFL history. After that he came back to the Bengals and had a monthly terror with them, taking Jeff Blake’s job, I believe. Even so, it never translated well when it counted, like SuperBowl 23. Or when they needed that win to get in the playoffs.

@thomasanderson6124 3 года назад

Boomer esiason really went don hill fast when playing football in new York. His passing skills were way off. His offensive line wasn’t good, so that explains some of it. I’ve heard him on the radio blasting his coach rich kotite as the worst coach ever. So maybe the coaching was also bad. But the one thing I noticed about his throwing, was that he was often over throwing his receivers as if just getting rid of the ball.

@gabrielparedes6393 3 года назад

Not true fans never wanted Boomer stinking last game in the regular for a 2nd pick the following year. The Oilers were just a superior team to the jets and the Jets were not putting points offensively. Final score jets 0 Oilers 24. Enough said.

Who roots for their team to lose, so they can keep their conditional 2nd round draft pick?!
