Bert Jones probably my all-time favorite. I still feel bad for him those last couple years in Baltimore. He threw a beautiful deep ball, though.

The sad thing is, I truly believe he was the best QB of his era, but because of being undone by injuries, the being one of the all-time greats accolades will never come his way, from the masses.  He remains one of my all-time favorites as well, if not still my all-time favs.

People are probably sick of me saying this but I saw him play his first game with the Colts.

 

A sunny day in Cleveland.  Browns won but you could tell he was special even then.

Always happy to see Bert Jones in the collection as well.  As Terrell Davis showed by getting into HOF, you can be great for a short amount of time and still be considered great.  What Bert Jones did, specifically in 1976, was amazing.  What a great QB.

I saw Unitas's last TD as a Colt in Memorial Stadium in 72. If I remember right, it was a simple screen to Glenn Doughty, who broke about 3 sure tackles,  going 80 yards for the TD. Believe it was against the Bills?

 

Edit: looked it up- it was Eddie Hinton,  63 yards.

Hinton, not Doughty

Back in the day they had an out of uniform televised QB skills competition. Throwing through tires, throwing for distance, that sort of thing. Bert blew the doors off his competition. He had the arm strength in the distance competition and hellaciously good accuracy as well.

I didn't include Jim Harbaugh because I didn't deem his longevity as a Colt to be adequate.  I admit that I have taken a leap of faith including Andrew Luck, for I am anticipating in excess of ten years and great success for him.

    • I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them. 
    • Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug 
    • Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.
    • That is a very inaccurate description of what happened.  At this point it’s history and doesn’t need to be revisited but I will say Chloe adds value to this board and should be and is by most encouraged to post, even if people don’t always agree with her.  
    • My response was in regards to another posted suggesting that the Colts need to get the pick right when it comes to picking a WR. I agree with you .
