While he was a starter for the Jets his record was unreliable as a quarterback. but that didn't stop being able to stop the Jets from signing him up to a multi-million-dollar extension. Also, lest we forget: the butt-fumble.
The butt fumble occurred on the national network's primetime Thanksgiving game against a division rival, one from three Jets mishaps that lead to three Patriots touchdowns in the span of 52 minutes. It became the only sports phenomenon that became a sensation outside the world of sports fans; EVERYONE saw it.
