NFL.com: Best player in team history, NFC edition
 
Excerpt:

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS: Drew Brees, quarterback

Larry Fitzgerald is not the only current player to make this prestigious list. After eight highly productive seasons in which he has been the maestro of an explosive offense that has lifted this franchise to new heights, Brees has earned this honor. He led the Saints to their first NFC Championship Game berth in his first year with the club and brought home the franchise's first Lombardi Trophy three years later. Along the way, he's accounted for half of the NFL's eight 5,000-yard seasons. I love me some Rickey Jackson, but old No. 57 will have to step aside. And perhaps apologies to Willie Roaf are in order, but Brees' arrival completely changed this franchise.

Of course it's Drew! No one else has had an impact nearly as close.

Rickey had the impact - only he had Mora working against him in the big games...

It's Roaf in my opinion. Roaf is probably top 5 LT of all time. Brees isn't even top 20 QB of all time... yet

So if you had a choice of having brees or roaf on the team, you'd choose roaf? Ok...

No because QB is the most important position on the team. If I could make up a team of all time greats, Roaf would rank higher at LT than Brees would at QB.

The year after Brees retires we can go back to being happy with telling players on the team that just beat the hell out of us "You may have won, but you'll feel it in the morning"

Oh! Those were the days!!! Returning to being the laughing stock of the NFL but the "other" team was sore!!! We can "What If" and once again "Trust In Spags" till the next coming of Brees is drafted.

I agree with you that Roaf likely ranks higher on the LT list than Brees does the QB list, but the fact that there are some positions are more important than others, I think that means you can take somebody lower on the more important list (in this case, Brees) and still say he's better than somebody that is higher on the less important list (Roaf).


If we're not taking any position bias into the equation though, I'm taking Morten Andersen over Roaf for the greatest Saint of all time. Andersen is probably the best kicker in NFL history.
