Due to the passage of time, the awful Saints teams of the 70s, and rules/scheme changes that favor passing games since then, I guess it's just difficult for many to understand how good Archie was.
"Manning was the UPI NFC Player of the Year in 1978. He was a Pro Bowl player in 1978 and 1979. He was named first-team All NFC in 1978 and 1979."
Roger Staubach was in the NFC in 1978 and 1979 and led his team to the Superbowl after teh 1978 season, yet it was Archie who was first team all-NFC. After Brees, no Saints QB ever had seasons in which he was even arguably the best QB in the NFC, while Archie did. Archie is a clear number two, and I would go with Bobby Hebert third because he was good for longer than Brooks. As for Delhomme, oh what could have been ...

archie was the johnny manzel of his day (i mean the college version only, not the bum NFL version)
plays broke down and he was running for his life, staying out of trouble just making things happen, and it often turned out ok.
if archie from back then played today he would be right up there with brady, brees, and maholmes in the top 5 QB of all time
