Thunder and Lightning. I thought with Muncie, Galbreath and Manning we would've been alot better.

We traded the rights for Bert Jones to the Colts for another washed-up scrub when we should've stayed put and drafted John Hannah...

Bert Jones is one of the biggest "what could've been" players in NFL history. For us, we have Archie, but to Colts fans, they have Jones.

His 1976 MVP season still looks amazing by today's standards with the explosion of passing numbers. Jones posted an INT percentage of only 2.3, in an era where INT percentages often averaged over 10% and QBs routinely threw 20 or more picks a season.

I've wondered for a long time what his career would've looked like if the injuries didn't wreck him.

For a FB, Galbreath could do everything. It would be amazing if the Saints had him now. This is the only thing I could find....
