What are Archie's career accomplishments?

You mean aside from being named NFC Player Of The Year on a sub-.500 team?

Most of AM's Saints teams were not only terrible, but he also played most of his career before the late '70s "legalized holding" rule changes on blocking that were adopted to increase passing. So the stats for any later QB are going to be inflated by comparison.

I'll take the judgments of Staubach, Lambert, and NFL Films ("There may be some question as to who was the Best of the Best. But there is no question that Archie Manning was the Best on the Worst") over an SFP wannabe on an internet message board.
