Saints fans should appreciate what they have in Brees

JOESAM - No doubt, Kenny Stabler was a true leader. It was just unfortunate that by the time the Saints got him he had very little left, physically. He is one of my all time favorite Saints. Too bad the Saints did not get him a few years sooner. I will never forget the play where he was getting sacked, and about half way to the ground threw a pass and completed it. That was totally amazing. Too bad number 16 threw an awful lot of interceptions. I think it was the Rams game, he had two returned for TD's. I think that was the same game that Mike Lansford put us out of the playoffs with a last second kick. This was back in 1983, so my memory may be a little fuzzy on it... LOL

I remember that well. I was sitting in the stands with Stans wife waiting for the win to put them in the playoffs. Talk about some broken hearts. It wasn't a fun night after that.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, that was my 4000 post. Wow!
