when he got traded to minnesota was the best team he could have played for and had a shot. but his knees were shot and the rest of him so banged up he just should have retired.

as for the passing stats the team around him has everything to with it.

i really do not think you have a clue as to how bad the teams were most of the time when archie played

I hunted with Hokie when I was 14.... I am very familiar with the Saints of the early 80s.

If you read my earlier post, I made a point that all the comments about all he needed was an offensive line were not so accurate.

What does "hunting with Hokie" have to do with watching the actual games and actually witnessing what was happening every week?!?

If it's ever available, geaux back and watch the games...

And it was a much different game then; comparing an aged, sick Archie finishing unceremoniously on the Oilers and Vikings with stats when he was younger and less "bruised" is illogical...
