no one is even saying archie sucked. He just wasn't extraordinary.

His BEST year, the one everyone loves so much, he was a top 6,7 quarterback for sure...and that was the defensive era...3 seasons was it?

aaron brooks had a year where he was a top 5 quarterback, he isn't going to the hall of fame.

True, but what you are discounting is the team around him. I don't think you understand how bad they were then. Your argument about cream rising to the top and all is really invalid when we are talking about the ineptitude of those teams. I would love to have seen him play for a Dallas or Pittsburg of that era. I don't think anyone is saying he would be a hall of famer just that he would certainly have won more. By the way those Pittsburg team had a pretty good defense. The Saints 78-79 were probably worse than the 2012 version.
