It is impossible to compare different era's, but I think Archie would probably be comparable to an Aaron Rodgers in today's NFL.

Perhaps a Steve Young with a stronger arm?

I'd love to hear some of you older guys like me compare him to a current player.

I was born in 1958 and I've went to games at Tulane Stadium. Archie ran out away from pressure. Brees would move in the pocket away from the pressure. Aaron Brooks moved in the pocket better.

I think that first video proved another posters point.. Number 57 for the 49ers should've been charged with aggravated assault. In that video montage, six of those seven hits shown on Manning would be illegal today... It would be amazing to see what Archie could have done under Sean Payton
