The Colts had one really good year with Jones at QB; I recall they were coached by Ted Marchibroda (could be wrong) and were, other than that year, pretty dysfunctional. But I remember Jones as having a rocket arm and good accuracy, so don't mess with my memory by going back to actual facts and statistics.Originally Posted by Patler
Bert Jones' career was actually worse than you remember, if you go back and look at it........

Several of these guys were on my watch list. I'm also banned from the Internet from writing any more about Bert Jones.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Guess I should have read farther before responding!
Naw, wasn't going to do that. Just a play on your Quote of KYP in your signature.The Colts had one really good year with Jones at QB; I recall they were coached by Ted Marchibroda (could be wrong) and were, other than that year, pretty dysfunctional.

Jones probably didn't play long enough to merit much consideration. He looked like a possible budding star early, but was hurt, traded and out of the league in relatively quick sequence when he should have been just hitting his stride as a QB.
