| What's the fascination with so many saints fans and bobby hebert? Posted by JOJO Hammer on 12/28 at 4:28 pm Why do so many people in South Louisiana think Bobby Hebert is one of the greatest guys ever to play for the saints?Reply Back to Top |
| We saw a modicum of success with him under center. That's about it. Reply Back to Top |

| I'm not sure people who are coherent when it comes to football actualy idolize Bobby. He is more of a good personality for the team and one of the better QB's to play for the Saints who is good for the community. Reply Back to Top |

| you proved my point Reply Back to Top |
quote:Is it really that hard to understand? He is from south Louisiana and was quarterback of the first Saints team to have a winning record, and play in a playoff game. The fact that he's turned into a drunken motor mouthed radio personality is just a bonus. Reply Back to Top |
| No one is touting Gleason's talent on the field. He is a huge deal because his blocked punt is iconic considering everything that happened with Katrina. Reply Back to Top |

| The Dome Patrol Saints were special. Hebert may not be the most revered player from that era, but combine his connection to that with his local flavor and you have an appealing media personality. On top of that he's a drunk that talks funny. That may not describe you, but that describes quite a few Saints fans, or maybe the uncle they watched games with as a kid. Some of the things that probably make you question his popularity are what makes him popular. Reply Back to Top |

quote: One of the best plays, no, but definitely one of the best moments in NFL history.. Reply Back to Top |
I actually remember the Bobby Hebert that blew the game to the Eagles in 1993, then left the field by flipping the bird to the fans... quote: He then left and went to play for the Falcons... I'm not a big fan, and really don't see the appeal. Reply Back to Top |
quote: Haven't been a fan long, huh? Or maybe you're just heartless, i don't know. Someone had to pick up Jeff Duncan's slack. Reply Back to Top |
quote: To be fair, the Saints had a wining record with Bobby under center and the Falcons had a losing record with Bobby under center. So it could be argued that he made us better and then made our rivals worse. Reply Back to Top |
| Didn't know u could troll Steve Gleason Reply Back to Top |
quote: quote: Does anyone think this? Here I was thinking people were interested in the two figures because of obvious reasons. Ones a drunk in the media with a fans's mentality and alot of people connect with that. He also played for the saints. The other has a terrible disease and has everyone's undying sympathy right now because hes a former football player that people watched. It's kinda phony to me because probably 99% of people with lou gehrig's disease are not getting anywhere near the same treatment or recognition. It's kind of like when everyone had 5 flags hanging out their car after 9/11. People just need that certain something that makes them feel like a compassionate human being I guess. I've never heard anyone state either was "the greatest" pr anything like that. Bobby Hebert was basically alex smith and gleason was a special teamer. Dont be ridiculous. Reply Back to Top Refresh |
