I can let you argue the other stuff, but you're wrong here Chad.

Colston (life long Saint so far) > Horn (played for the Falcons )
Colston 532 receptions > Horn 523 receptions
Colston 58 TDs > Horn 50 TDs
Horn 7,622 yards > Colston 7,394 yards
Colston 6+years as a Saint > Horn 6 years as a Saint
Horn BBQ Sauce > Colston not food affiliated
Colston Superbowl Starter > Horn Playoff Win

Joe Horn: 4 time probowler, one year was 6 yards behind the NFL leader in receiving yards. Played without Drew Brees Joe Horn had FOUR, that's right 4 years better than Colston's Best year as a Saint.

Hmm...one of those rare moments that message board banter results in a genuine change of opinion.

Joe Horn > Colston > Deuce

Hence I will redo my top five:

1. Drew Brees
2. Rickey Jackson
3. Joe Horn
4. Willie Roaf
5. Marques Colston

It would have truly been something to behold if we had Horn in his prime with Brees 2008-present.

I do, but he's not one of the Top 5 Saints Players of all time.

And what does that get you? Nothing!
He doesn't have as many receptions or TDs as Colston and Colston is still in the middle of his career.

Colston is the ALL TIME TOUCHDOWN SCORING LEADER IN SAINTS HISTORY. Are you really going to exclude him because Joe Horn finished second in most yards receiving one year?

Horn and Colston played together one year with Brees. Lets compare stats.
That year, Colston as a rookie had 70 receptions for 1,038 yards and 8 touchdowns while bar b q Joe had 37 receptions for 679 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Also, Colston was a draft pick of the Saints. Added Saints Swag!

I'm as much a Joe Horn fan as anyone, but saying Joe Horn (a one time Falcon whose stats aren't as good as Colston's) is a better All Time Saint than Colston blows my mind.
