But our Bum Phillips Defense was a tactical masterpiece & Rickey Jackson was his centerpiece, so I think I'm going to go with Rickey.
When the USFL folded, '85, I think, somebody interviewed Bobby Hebert to ask, since he was a true free agent, where he would be interested in playing for in the NFL. He mentioned being from Cut Off, LA, and that he had always wanted to play for the Saints. I nearly jumped through my ceiling, I was so excited.
If you're too young to remember, or your old, but you can only think of the playoff losses, you dont grasp what an exciting, underrated quarterback Bobby was. We had so many big wins over so many playoff contenders, and so much excitement in the 80s and early 90s.
Archie should have a statue. Drew is Hall of Fame. But Bobby is my favorite Saint of all time. |
