If Deuce isnt on the Saints Mt. Rushmore, then a tremendous travesty has been committed!!

Not taking anything away from Jackson, Mills, Swilling & Vaughan, but IMO, only Jackson & Swilling make it. I still haven't forgiven Mills for going to the Panthers, and in all honesty, Vaughan Johnson was my favorite of the Saints LBs.

The way Deuce played in the 2006 Divisional Playoffs against the Eagles alone should be enough to get him included!

If it is players only, my four are:

Rickey Jackson
Drew Brees
Deuce McCallister
Archie Manning

If a coach is included, then replace Manning with Sean Payton!

I'm stunned. Deuce over Sam Mills? Willie Roaf? Pat Swilling? Morten Andersen?

No f'ing way on Earth does Deuce deserve it more than those guys. And if Colston and Evans keep it up a few more years Deuce slides behind them as well.

IMO, Brees shortened Deuce's career when he threw a hign screen pass and Deuce tore his ACL when he tried to catch it.

As good as the Dome Patrol was, there is no freakin' way you can put all 4 of them on the Saints Mt. Rushmore. They never won a playoff game, although I will agree that was more because of the offense.

I would 100% put Deuce in over Mills, Roaf, and Anderson. At least Roaf had the decency to play for an AFC team when he left the Saints, unlike Mills & Anderson!
