Watch Bert Jones play with a separated shoulder on MNF against the Redskins in '78 ,throwing frozen ropes with just a flick of his wrist. Even BB says that Bert was the best thrower of the football, that he's ever seen.

John didnt have any touch until he tore something in his throwing arm. I watched a lot of Bronco games living in the Rocky Mt region, and he would throw rockets as swing passes. He knocked a helmet off his own receiver on a shallow cross. You could see it coming, he would pull back to throw, tap the ball twice with his left hand then throw a rocket that didnt have have a hump in it. You know, ball flight like a parabola, didnt exist in Elways skills.
