Fine, Archie got sacked a lot.

He didn't have the receivers.
He didn't pass as much and when he did he was an interception machine.

Completion % as a Saint
Archie 55.4
Drew 67.3

Interception %
Archie 4.7%
Drew 2.5%

If Archie has an offensive line he would have passed more and thrown more INTs.

Archie compared to Wilson.. Wilson was sacked more this season.
Archie Manning sack 9.3% INT% 4.7
Russell Wilson (2013) sack 9.8% INT 2.2%

If that doesn't clearly show what i am saying maybe this will.

Archie Manning as a Saint vs Oiler

Sack %
Saints 9.3%
Oilers 15.1%

INT%
Saints 4.7%
Oilers 6.6%

Archie got worse after he left the oh so horrible New Orleans Saints to go go the Houston Oilers... the Saints got better.

Minnesota before Manning 8-8, with Manning 3-13, after Manning 7-9
Houston Oilers before Manning 7-9, with Manning 1-8, after Manning 3-13

New Orleans Saints 1980/1981 with Manning 4-23
New Orleans Saints 1982/1983 with Stabler 11-11

I know i am committing a mortal and nonvenial sin but it was what it was.

Hate to say it Oak but you don't know what you're talking about. Not only didn't you see Archie or the Saints teams of that era. In fact you didn't see that era of NFL football.

Oh and by the way, Kenny Stabler was a horrible QB by that point in his career. If Bum had kept Manning he might have ended his career as a winner instead of the pathetic joke he became.

If you have an itch and want to come at me, that's fine, but look back at the thread and several there were several posters that respectfully disagreed with you...

Now if you were offended, or misunderstood the post, I'd be glad to chat with you about it in further detail if it'd make you feel better...

Geaux Saints!

I didn't "go at you" little man. You decided to snipe from the back row at a comment I made to Hagen.

The part about taking things personally was not Bum Phillips specific.

Offended by what?

Are you seriously trying to compare the TEAM Archie Manning played with and the TEAM that Brees plays with?

That is like comparing a crocodile to a chameleon!!

I would venture to say that 30% to 40% of the interceptions that Brees throws are his fault, for whatever reason/s: He mis-read the defense, under/overthrew a pass, forced a pass, etc.

Probably another 30% to 40% are picked off after the ball was tipped by the receiver trying to make a catch.

The rest are because of the defender making a good play, pressure from the defense, weather...

Brees, as well as most QBs, wouldn't have lasted a season playing behind the BEST line that Manning ever had.

The difference in talent level, minus the QB position, on the Saints teams then and know is laughable!

But for me, Archie Manning being traded was personal, and I've hated Bum Phillips every since then...

Oak, read the quote, the statement is entirely Bum Phillips specific...

If you need help, can recommend a literacy specialist in your area to explain the statement...

If you must continue with this low road dialogue such as your "little man" comment, request you PM me to resolve your issues so the rest of the fans do not need to be a part of these posts...

Take a step back, a deep breath, let it geaux...

How do you view it? Does the team make the QB better or does the QB make the team better? As I see it the great QBs make the team better, how many times has it been said by multitudes of members here that we simply can not win if Drew Bree's keeps throwing interceptions? Well Manning threw more interceptions, I know the team was abysmal but Archie's turnovers did nothing to help the situation.

Members say you cant speak honestly about Drew Brees because some people only view him through rose colored glasses.. Well add Archie Manning to the list.

i see that as there is an "I" in team point of view. stats are pointless unless you know what the team was about. thats why so many great players are not in the hall. that is a media way of looking at a player.

if drew played on those teams i really doubt he would have survived or done any better. visa versa. if great players of archies playing days say he was one of the greatest to play i say case closed.

there is no "I" team and everyone goes down with a sinking ship. i do not care who they are.

Drew and Archie are the two greatest QB ever to play for the saints hands down. whats separates them is the teams and coaches they played with.

RailBoss · 01-31-2014, 09:35 PM

Well interesting back and forth thread, two things that were pretty clever.
That line about rose colored glasses was great! Thinking back I must have been wearing them the day I signed in as a Who Dat.
also-
Elisha Archibald "Archie" Manning III aka "The Glimmer Man"
Archie was sacked 340 times during his Saints career.
He must have had a great sense of humor as well.
Loved what he said about Jack Youngblood
"I've got to say that Youngblood was nice enough to pick me up every time he knocked my (butt) off." Today, Manning jokes that Youngblood's career would not have been as successful without him. He even suggested that Youngblood should have let him be his presenter when he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001, saying, "He wouldn’t have gotten in without having me to sack."

My literacy is fine. I must have been too vague, so I shall rephrase the statement.

Previous quoted txt "The part about taking things personally was not Bum Phillips specific. "

Should have read "When I said you take things personally, I was not being Bum Phillips specific." E.g. You take anything negative said about a Manning personally, as evident by your reply to a comment I made to someone else.

My original statement still stands. I replied to Hagen, he understood my intent. You kind sir took it as an opportunity to snipe at me from the back row. If you do not care for 'low road', then don't start down that path. The intent of my hunting comment is fairly clear and draws a logical picture to most. I do believe Private Messaging was available when you chose to question my comment to Hagen.

Everyone from Houston was coming to New Orleans is the reason for that.
