Saints Mt. Rushmore

thread has been done before but since the 4th it's fitting...
Mt. Rushmore was created to show great Presidents throughout the history of the U.S. Franklin is certainly a founding father but never a president so no go. Same thing here, Dave Dixon, Benson, Mora, Payton, Loomis, etc might be worthy but aren't in consideration. Who ya got as the four players?
Mine...
Archie- he really wasn't great but he was all there was to cheer about a long time, Taking NOLA as his home after playing cemented his place in team history & the community
Rickey- the first HOFer from the Saints, representative of the Mora era and the franchise reaching respectability for the first time
Willie- a shame he had to leave early but made the All NFL Team for two different decades, 11 pro Bowls and 9 All Pro years. Bridged the Mora era to this century.
Drew- our Johnny Unitas-Steve Young type (started with one team but made it big with another) HOF to be legend. His SD years will be a footnote in history more remembered for letting him go.

Brees, Roaf and Archie are spot on..the fourth is challenging...I was thinking maybe Deuce?

Brees, Roaf, Payton, Jim Finks
Eta: sorry, didn't read "players only" part. Oh well, I'm still sticking with my 4

If a kicker, regardless of how accomplished, is on your franchise's Mount Rushmore, your team did it wrong.

Not sure about Roaf - he probably is best remembered for his stint in KC, especially after the soap opera that preceded his departure from NO.
Agree about Anderson. Although, there are several current players (besides Brees) that might take the 4th spot (Graham for sure; Colston; maybe Sproles if he plays several seasons in NO). .

This is the best part of your post. Made me
because it is so true. Rivers is a good quaterback and all, but if I was AJ Smith I would still be kicking my self in the arse for that stupidity. I am however very thankful for their stupidity!

Yeah, I had a brain fart...
I was thinking of a different Ricky.
One that really didn't seem worthy.
