He had his chances to leave but kept signing back on with the saints and the fans. He got killed out there year in and year out. Kept coming back for more. The saints dumped all over him and sent him to the oilers of all teams after all he had done for us. This made him even more of a icon for the fan. We the fans feel we owe Him alot of extra love because of what he gave to US, THE FANS. Sorry until someone else sacrifices as much as Archie did for this team he will never be replaced. A close second maybe but never above him. Archie stands for more than just wins and looses. |

Don't get me wrong, with one year under Drew's belt he has become "The Saints", but he will never be Archie. That's why Drew's number is 9. (figuretively) |

It was a discussion between Payton and Drew, no one on this forum will ever question the place in glory that Archie hold in Saints history and our hearts. But you can't tell me if Drew win about three Superbowl's he won't be on that same pedestal as Archie, trust me guys Drew would become the bench mark for every other QB to follow, like Sean Payton will become the bench mark for all coaches who follow him. When we talk about defenses we always compare them to the DOME PATROL and rightfully so, if Brees win one Superbowl in a New Orleans uniform, every QB that comes through here will be compared to Drew hands down. Archie will forever be loved and respected for what he meant to the team, the fans, the community, and the whole Gulf Region, but if Drew gets that ring, he would be worship like a god.

the two would be gods. i agree. But Archies' story is completly different. no better or worse than the superbowl winner. Archie has the goal that all other QB's have to messure up to. Guts and loyality. that is my point. Drew is the closest thing I have seen to him. Now add a superbowl ring and I am sure Archie will be willing to slide over and make room for him on that pedestal. But Drew has to prove the tuffness. That is something I am sure he will do. No one QB will replace the other. No way.

We are all right.
Drew will and is right now, loved by all Saints fans. How can you not.?.? When Drew leads us to a SB victory, retires with a Saints jersey on his back, yes, I will put him in the same heart felt feelings I have for Archie. Hell, I love Bobby for less reasons. It's just great that we have a great QB, and not just great because he plays almost flawlessly. |
