People did, there was some talk about it at the time...but mostly from kinda homeristic or simplistic fans, unrealistic fans, sentimental types, the kind I call the "bring back Darren Sharper" crowd today, the fans who wanted to re-sign Deuce as a running back and put him in for one play in the Super Bowl (and yes, I really did hear someone say that).... The Saints were middle of the pack at the time, 8-8, 7-9 type teams, not good, not especially bad, so they didn't really have a shot at drafting either of the Mannings anyway, it was never a very realistic scenario.

Thanks for the feedback, Bro. I do believe you are correct when you mentioned that the situation never really presented itself...other than some sort of blockbuster trade, like Ernie Acorsi pulled-off in '04 to get Eli.

Who was QB for the Saints in '04...AB?
