No disrespect, but speak for yourself as far as most beloved. In all honesty, I can't stand Archie Manning and I know I'm in the minority on this, but I have my reasons. And before some schmuck comes along and says "you aren't a true Saints' fan. You're a douchebag. Move to Atlanta.", I will say that I have absolutely no ties to Archie as far as my fanhood for the Saints goes. I have said on here many times that I was a Steelers fan when I was a kid, because I wasn't even aware that Louisiana had a football team. I was much more the baseball fan and only a casual football fan. However, I started watching the Saints in 1986 and have been a fan ever since. That doesn't mean that I automatically loved Archie. I've explained my reasons a while back in a previous thread on why I dislike Archie and won't rehash those opinions again. I just know that I'm not in that number of people that love Archie or even like for that matter.
