Bert Jone...Another standout that flamed out early. Bert Jones was considered one of the very best in his first few years, and some say under different circumstances he could've become a Hall of Famer. Possibly the best pure passer at the time and allowed to call his own plays, he had a makeup and ability similar to what Dan Marino brought to the NFL years later. Unfortunately he was another star than never hit his full potential due to crippling injuries and incompetent management that turned the Colts teams of the early 80's into a laughingstock.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086081761530021646noreply@blogger.com
