Re: Reggie Bush, Marques Colston to enter Saints’ Hall of Fame
I believe the bar is set so low for our HOF due to how long it took for the franchise to have some winning glory.
Reggie isn't even the worst for me. What the hell is Bobby Hebert doing in the Saints HOF? The Cajun Cannon was the biggest problem with those old Mora teams. It's easy to blame OC Carl Smith until looking at the offensive turn around in 1994-1995 with Jim Everett at QB. Hebert saved his absolute worst games for the playoffs, look them up. If advanced stats existed back then, he would've been compared to Blake Bortles and yet he's in the Saints HOF and we remember him fondly for some reason. |

The Haslett teams may have been stuck in mediocrity of 8-8 and 9-7 seasons, but we had some awesome special teams... Beer Man was a joy to watch. |

Mora didn't trust his players, his staff, often pulled most pass plays out of the play scripte, making the offense predictable; Hebert clarified this when he had Carl Smith on his show and callers were looking to vent... Following weeks after that show other players on those teams corroborated Hebert's take on that time; Carl Smith was still the loyal soldier even though Mora has let him take the brunt of criticism for the offense... Ron Swoboda famously criticized Mora for his overt conservatism; Mora became so agitated, he called in on another show and questioned Buford Jordan's manhood, Live - Jim Mora was his own worst enemy... |

Kind of off topic but is it safe to say Tommy Hodson was the best QB to come out of LaFourche Parish? At LSU, he could flat out "spin it". |
Re: Reggie Bush, Marques Colston to enter Saints’ Hall of Fame
I have no prob with Hebert being in the Saints HOF. Good hell, if Brooks is, Hebert should be.
As far as Reggie is concerned, I don't have a problem with that either. Bush brought a confidence and swagger to the field before and during games that I hadn't seen in a while on the offense. He was a threat as a reciever almost more than a RB. And he was a threat on punt returns early in his career. Those are good memories. |

No, Hebert was better; in his very early days, he could run and truck like a TE as well, sort of like Cam... If you recall the thread with the physics show looking at Brees passes, you don't want a perfect spiral for it to travel farther; Hebert just could heave it (i.e. Anthony Carter), just not overly accurate... Bobby played for (believe Sam Goodwin then) at Northwestern State LA (Natchitoches), then USFL, didn't get any real QB coaching till Carl Smith, but he was as good as Brad Johnson who won a Superbowl... Tommy Hodson was really good; actually played against him our JV year; very accurate, stronger than most QBs, but nothing special for an NFL arm; but Tommy had a good head on his shoulders... That Fourcade v Hebert was a terrific battle in the slop (man-made) down at South Lafourche; that game got more buzz than any of the Big Catholic League showdowns back in the day... But They're the most accomplished QBs from this area... |
