Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2023
- In light of the Aaron Rodgers injury and with the New York Jets facing the Dallas Cowboys this week, with these two worlds intersecting, let's talk about one of the craziest injuries to happen to a Jets quarterback that could only happen to a Jets quarterback. Because Ken O'Brien, in week 9 of the 1990 NFL season, during a game between the New York Jets and the Dallas Cowboys, injured his thumb... giving a high-five?

I think the jets need some holy water sprinkle on ever QB on the roster
I was at the game on September 12, 1999 (almost exactly 24 years before the Aaron Rodgers game). My friends had season tickets and invited me along. You could feel the air go out of the stadium when Vinny Testaverde left the game with what we learned was also a torn Achille's tendon. Backup Rick Mirer was also knocked out of that game after throwing two picks, leaving it up to punter Tom Tupa to take over, and he actually threw a pair of touchdowns. As you can guess, my friends immediately identified me as the jinx and I was never invited to attend a Jets game with them.
Fredaaron762, Rick Mirer was the 3rd stringer that day while Tupa was the backup qb. Tupa took over as the qb until the 4th quarter when the no. 3 qb can play without prohibiting the backup qb from returning to the game as tupa was also the punter.
If I’m correct,Tom Tupa also was emergency QB for the Cardinals and played qb at Ohio State. So he could play the position
You're not the jinx. The Jets angered some elder god a long time ago and are cursed.
Torn Achilles tendon is not just a serious injury, but one of the most painful sports injuries you can get.
@Lionheart2186 I'm pretty sure Aaron Rodgers is more concerned about his chances at one more ring than the coach or manager's jobs.
@@Matt_Fields_29it's a serious enough injury to end his season and perhaps a career.
Given his age, (39) and the amount of recovery time (12-18 months) he might not be able to play again until he's 41.
It’s an excellent video but as a Jets fan I am depressed. Thank you for quoting Dick Verneil which also took place in 1999😢. I do remember this game
I guess Aaron Rodgers' complete tear of his Achilles tendon is just part of Jets lore. I immediately thought about Vinny Testaverde and Leon Johnson suffering season-ending injuries in their 1999 opener at home vs. the Patriots. Being reminded of Kyle Mackey's injury just makes me wonder what's really going on with that franchise. Bizarre.
Not to mention Dennis Byrd and his career ending neck injury in 1992.
I still remember in the 83 draft the Jets fans wanted Marino and they ended up with KOB. The infamous Jets draft blunders video from years ago capped by the fans chanting "we want sapp!" but left with Brady the TE.
Side note about that compilation of Jet draft blunders:
One guy who is in the compilation and doesn’t deserve to be in my opinion is Freeman McNeil in 1981.
He was admittedly taken over a couple Hall of Fame defensive players, but was probably the best running back out of that draft.
Hey KOB wasn’t horrible. Definitely better than Todd Blackledge. But yeah not quite as good as that Marino guy
As Pats fan, they picked Eason over Marino. Ironically KOB and Eason were teammates I think.
@rngfootball759 no it was Tony's brother BO Eason were teammates at Uc Davis
That ken o brien injury is like a qb hurting his gluten after a guy slapped his butt
That actually happened to AJ Feeley the one year he played for my team in '04.
That draw play. Some sorta primordial shovel pass. Kinda like how the progeny of the murderer read option
Rodgers is 39. He suffered an injury that would take a younger man a year to recover from. IMO his career is over.
namath had chronic bad knees. vinnie blew out his Achillies. o'brien just got beat up back there. pennington had a bad shoulder. even richard todd once took a hit from two guys that almost broke him in half. all just part of jet qb history. jets a true cursed franchise. on the bright side jets keep their first next year to use on some o line help.
The 49ers Nick Bosa had bad things to say about the turf at Met Life stadium in 2020 after suffering a knee injury that sidelined him for the year.
This reminds me of QB Gus Frerotte spraining his neck by head butting a goal post after a TD
There’s also A.J. Feeley getting injured after a teammate slapped his behind
Actually, he sprained his neck by head butting the wall after scoring a TD . I remember watching that game . I recall it being called the " Redskin Ram " . Not at all similar to the Lambeau Leap .
Add Joe Willie Namaths knees to the Jets history Those knees started it all
I’m not even a fan of the Jets (I don’t hate them, but they aren’t a team I care too much about) - but I feel so bad for them and their fans. And looking at the history of the team… same crap, different decade.
Whatever cosmic entity has it out for the Jets really needs to relax. I think the point has been made.
Reminds me of when my father threw out his back he opened a newspaper (since you kinda shake it and vigorously open it).
A teammate separated his shoulder after a high five, happened 2nd game of his senior year, it was wild, wasnt even a hard high five
Was it an underlying issue that came to light because of the high five?
@paulclark6988 no, total freak accident, one guy running on the field, one off, just a high five, then dropped his arm and ran back to the sideline. Wasn't even like an overly strong one. We re-watched it in film study about 35 times to see what the heck happened. It was bad for him, but I did get more playing time from it.
You have to wonder what would have happened back in '83 if the Jets had simply taken Dan Marino instead of O'Brien in the draft. Worse, the Jets had to watch number 13 go to one of their bitter rivals (🐬) and he wreaks havoc on them his whole career including the infamous fake spike..
Just to be fair, the Jets weren't the only QB hungry team to pass on Marino.
Knowing the Jets they would have fucked him up.
There's got to be more to that Jim Jeffcoat fighting Bruce Coslet story. That sounds like great material for another video.
Imagine if the Jets hadn’t thrown away their tank in 2020 against the rams
I'm forever grateful
@OfficialJaguarGator9 👍👍total legend, sending the love from England
Least he didnt bang his head on the wall and give himself a concussion
16:00 There it is! 😁
...and we finally got to see JG9 say it.
The Cowboys did not have a "vaunted" running game at this point in the 1990 season...
Joe Namath's deal with the devil to win Super Bowl 3 doomed the Jets
Lol
Big time.
O’Brien would be the last player wearing #7 to get injured celebrating at Giants Stadium.
Wasn't this what happened in the 3rd season of the show "Coach"?? Coach Fox gives his star QB a high five and injures his rotator cuff.
The moral is don’t be a Jet.
16:00. The infamous line
Not to brag but uh yea. Those protection issues. Yea. Kinda saw an injury happening. Heck Mike Greenberg was talking about and said “take me instead “ before the season started.
Incidentally I typed all these posts on my phone, which means I risked thumb sprain. But I survived (Self-High Five!). OUCH!!!
When Dodgers Second Baseman Steve Sax hit a home run in 1985 he injured Third Base Coach Joey Amalfitano giving him a High Five. The next year when Sax hit his first homer of the season Amalfitano responded by pulling a finger trigger. Ironic since the Dodgers were credited with inventing the High Five.
In 2039, when the Chiefs get rid of Patrick Mahomes, he might join the Jets for $150 million a year. The in his first game in 2040, he will blow out both knees on routine scramble. Now this sounds like the Jets.
Why you don't overhyped a team in the off-season.
It happened with the Packers too last year.
They need to move out of New Jersey, that place is cursed for them.
Yeah definitely move them to Austin I think.
This incident reminds me of an episode of Coach where Hayden Fox injured his star player after giving him a simple high-five before the big game. It's possible it could have been inspired by what happened with Ken O'Brien, but I can't confirm this as I don't know when the episode first aired.
This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made videos about the following:
1. The Dolphins-Jets game you mentioned, in which the officials overturned an O’Brien interception twice.
2. Brad Baxter, the man who scored the clinching touchdown in this game, and how his Jets career ended because of a truck drive.
3. Terance Mathis, who scored the other touchdown in this game, and the controversy involving him and Dan Reeves before their Falcons played in Super Bowl 33.
You can check them out…by clicking the card in the upper right hand corner
To be a Jets fan is to never have nice things.
You mean to be a Butt Fumble fan
I do wonder if Joe Willie sold the Jets "soul" for the W at SB III... if nothing else, the Jets are CURSED.
Try being a Cardinal fan. And we've been around a lot longer.
@@Rockhound6165 sorry, I'm not an idiot
What can be said, had the Jets taken Marino in the draft it's more than likely they would have ruin him.
How about geno smith breaking his jaw. He was punched by a teammate for not paying him back.
Surprising that O’Brien only had 16 sack yardage in the game.
That is so Jets. I have to say.
More like shades of Tom Brady in 2008
The jets are more cursed at qb than the lions
Or bengals let alone cardinals and the browns
You can say that again, the only thing the Jets got going over the Lions is that their title is more recent but that's like saying "The expired food I ate is still younger than yours."
@@goldeneve the bengals had more than 1 good qb in their franchise
Ok, ok Jets. in 2008 we gave you our HoF MVP QB, Farve and you mess up his shoulder . Fast forward 15 years later and we trade you another one, and you get him hurt after 4 snaps....... in 15 years we are not trading you J-Love. Well, there goes our #1 Jets pick.
What do you expect, this is the Jets, a team that drafts a QB in the top 5, gives him no weapons or confidence, then give up on him in 1 year. They probably deserve it at this point
It's clear the Jets did Marino a huge favor in 1983.
@@iamhungey12345 Even that the Jets screwed up as Mario ended up going to the Dolphins
@@FusionCyborg The Jets would have fucked up Marino, the Dolphins wasted him but the Jets seems to have a habit of destroying QBs.
@@iamhungey12345 I meant my original reply as that the Jets tried to do Marino a favor by not drafting him, and thus not wasting his career, but failed because the Dolphins ended up drafting Marino, and in typical dolphins fashion, they wasted Mario's career.
It had to be THE JETS
If it was AEW your hand would be bleeding with a high 5
AEW would've had Rodgers come back out for the finish and bump on one leg
What scares me is that you describe this as the strangest quarterback injury in *Jets* history. Which implies there are wierder ones out there somewhere....
The Jets are cursed ever since January 12 1969
Who didnt see this coming? All the hype and drama.. it was easy to call
I like all the Cowboys helmets !!!!
How is this stranger than Matt Robinson getting hurt thumb wrestling just before opening day in 1979?
The New Yor Jets are a snakebitten and cursed franchise. Period.
There was not one Jet fan out there that was shocked. We are Jet fans, we expect the worst. The franchise is cursed!
“Did I do that?”
No one had mentioned Jets as #buttfumble yet
Add to the list Matt Robinson 1979 - injured thumb wrestling a teammate … and lied about it.
I'm sorry, but there's no way Matt Robinson shouldn't be the subject of this video.
Honestly I really do believe rogers WILL be back in 2024 despite how he's acted the last few years man has a huge ego and not let this year be how his football legacy ends.
Torn Achilles is a serious major injury to a young player in their mid 20's let alone a 40yr old qb.
Maybe but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll have a good season though.
I'm sure he doesn't want to end his career on a season ending injury is what I'm saying
Aaron Rodgers isn’t going anywhere. He’s happy here, he wants to win here and he’s not going out like that.
Coming soon to Washington
4 snaps. 4 as in brett favres number
It’s called a script watch Rodgers just sit dow at 1119 in the clock on 911 24 years to the day Vinny Testverde same injury as a jet get da f outta here
they need a whole makeover..boring to look at...terrible uniforms every year...lousy logos every year...but thats ny ....scared to innovate...ny football visually and football wise is painful to watch....ny giants same as the jets.....boring.....they kill my 4k....
At least Jets fans won’t have to worry about Rodgers doing worse than if you just spiked the ball on every play
Technically, you're right, given that Rodgers had a passer rating of 39.6 in the game.
@@GamerKiller2347 And being technically correct is the best kind of correct! 😂😂😂
