I remember him as a solid QB worn down by sacks. Maybe I can't be objective because I was 9 & 10 duing his best years. His two really great seasons of 1985 and 1986. He quickly became my favorite Jet. But I'll try.
It CAN'T be said picking O'Brien over Dan Marino was a good move, however, is forming an opinion on Ken O'Brien because of that fair? His numbers fall just below Jim Everett who is widely regarded as a good solid NFL Starter. His numbers are actually better than Jim McMahon who is not viewed as a draft bust.
I just see O'Brien over Marino ranking low on the list of Jets mistakes. One player doesn't make a team. The great franchises put together large groups of solid players to win. With a star or two. The Jets never did this. It has long since been proven that QB can be one of those solid players, not neccasarily a star.
Ken O'Brien Career: 58.6 % Completion, 128 TD, 98 Int, 25,094 Passing Yards, 3 Playoff appearances (This IS the Jets mind you.)
