Reggie Bush, Marques Colston to enter Saints’ Hall of Fame

Yeah, he was on the SB team and as you stated, holds some team records, did a lot of good for the community so I get it. I guess I'm just spoiled rotten with Kamara now. He raised the bar too damn high.

+1.

Yes sir. Kamara ... he's special.

What about Gleason? He blocked a punt and was a decent special team guy but does he belong in the HOF? I say he does, He’s got my vote. He did and continues to do more for us and our community than any other player in Saints history.
It’s not all about what’s done on the field.

I remember Gleason being part of a blocked punt against the Bucs in 2002. Can't remember if it was the home game, or the season opener on the road. We blocked in both of those games.

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.

He had 3 but the Atlanta blocked kick may go down as the most important play in franchise history given the impact it had on the city. Beer Man was fun as hell to watch.
And who knows what would have happened if Haslett didn’t have such a hard on for Brooks.

Brooks was not the problem on those teams IMO. I know he wasn't an elite QB, but he was far from as bad as fans make him out to be. I'd rather have him than Bobby Hebert back in the 90's.

He was just fine in 2001, 2002 and 2003 (even outplaying Jake Delhomme that entire year. 2003 Panthers are one of the flukiest SB teams ever and really should've got their doors blown off by the Pats in the big game)

2002 season was derailed by Brooks' injury though. Haslett should've sat him and put Delhomme in, but my guess is that the team didn't want to end up having a QB controversy on their hands like they had with Jeff Blake after the 2000 season.
