Re: 47 years ago today, the first New Orleans Saint was signed
Oak this might help but in the Manning years it was like junk time most of the time. Archie was a extreamly well liked, very talented and really tough QB. back in the old days, really talent wise comparable to Bradshaw, Stauback and other top tier QB.'s in that era. We were fortunate as Saints fans to have any glimmer of hope. Manning was our hope, the Saints organization was his downfall. And yes when any QB. throws an int, it's their fault but in Archies defense not only would Brees look like a poster child of a Vicidin commercial his career would be over. Even as a kid watching the game on a T.V. that had a box on it that you would turn the knob to clear the channel up, or sent outside on the roof of the house to adjust the antenna how many more brutal hits Archie could take before he wouldn't get up. He got up, that was hope. Winning 1 maybe 2 games a year with Manning give all of us hope. In Archies case stats will always be just that, stats, it will never tell the true story of a man that played his heart out each and every game.
