Bert Jones "The Ruston Rifle" - 1976's NFL Most Valuable Player and NFL Offensive Player of the Year. He was one of only three quarterbacks to achieve a 100+ passer rating during the entire decade of the 1970's. The widely respected scout Ernie Accorsi is quoted as saying that if Bert Jones had played under different circumstances, he probably would have been the greatest player ever. On the eve of Super Bowl XLII New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, in discussing his choices for the greatest quarterbacks of all time, described Jones as the best "pure passer" he ever saw.




and McClendon didn't play him 100% of the time.
