Bert Jones - Colts - 1976 - Week 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

I sure hope these players who helped to make The National Football League to what is today are going to be taken care of by the League and The NFL Players Association.

When I worked at Social Security, I remembered taking disability claims on two former NFL players in the 70's. They both told me the NFL and the Players Association does not take care of them when they leave the game. Real Sad.

[MUDMARCHING3333]

bert jones was a great player.he had an arm like a cannon.

[SuperJM1980]

75 76 77 jones was one of the best but when he got hurt he was never the same.

[RockbertoRocks]

Roger Carr averaged 25 yds per catch in 76!!!

[Vezzo55]

Bert Jones one of the very best QB's "EVER".......If he is not in the hall of fame no one should be....Jones had a rifle for an arm.......Better than Peyton Manning and Unitas.....

could listen to facienda reading the obits and stay raptured.

Although they are largely forgotten today, the Jones to Carr connection was every bit as exciting as Unitas to Berry had been years before.

[fatcatsathat]

Bert Jones and Lydell Mitchell are some of the best players who are not n the Hall of Fame.

[RockbertoRocks]

They were great players and so much fun to watch.

@fatcatsathat Yes, that run from 0:21-31 was all Lydel, without any blocking. I can't help but think Lydell may have helped with the TD pass to Carr @ 2:24. Lydell had 4 patriot defenders surrounding him in the middle of the field. @ 4:56, Lydell goes after the blitzing Cardinal defender and delivers a shot himself; much like he did on one of the highlighted TD passes at Buffalo highlighted earlier.
