About to say, cannot forget Morten Anderson. Does Brooks make it? No, should not. Besides being QB of the first playoff win, I don't see the stats.

I guess grins do not count

Hey I'd vote for Brooks. People forget we were averaging nearly 30 points a game while he was here and our defense could stop a pop warner offense.

Say what you will, and much of it might be accurate, but we could score back then.

SF, the thing I remember, as I was always having to work,
so Im having to sneak a way to see the games..... I didnt know where we
got Blake, (Yes I know from Cinn, but I didnt know HOW.) Then he gets hurt, and this Brooks guy comes in, and we are SCORINGGG!

I just remember thinking how weird it was that we had a team that could SCORE. On OFFENSE. It was surreal, seriously.

Who would vote in Bum?
Realize without Bum, Mora has no Dome Patrol.

Bum was responsible for Rickey but Mora & Finks brought the rest in.
Sorry no Bum!

Does Brooks make it? No,

hagan714 · 10-10-2013, 02:14 AM

i think it is a safe bet
Archie Manning, Ricky Jackson Willie Roaf

maybe
Pat swilling, Sam mills,

i doubt it
La Roi glover, Joe horn, Duece, Sharper, Steve Gleason, and maybe Sammy Knight and LeCharles Bentley down the line.

Aaron Brooks certainly has his place in Saints history and there's nothing wrong with recognizing his accomplishments, but IMO you don't want to just put everybody on this thing.

Archie, Deuce, Morten, Horn, Mills, Rickey Jackson, Roaf are the no-brainers,

Then you have a whole slew of guys like Eric Martin, Wayne Martin, Stan Brock, Abramowicz, Mora, Jim Finks, Dempsey, Waymer, Jerry Fontenot, Dalton Hilliard, Jim Wilks, Swilling, etc. etc. etc. Those are guys that come well before short-timers like Sharper, Bentley, Knight, Glover and a few others mentioned. As much as I'd like to see all those players recognized you have to draw a line somewhere.
