Those were horrible teams, he spent most of his time running for his life. I should ask you what your point is, but it's pretty obvious you don't have one.
The point is, being a somewhat okay player on a dismal team doesn't elevate your status any. He did play on other teams, and he didn't play all that well in those city's either.
I think people want to look fondly on Archie just because he was a small star playing for a franchise of futility.

Trent Dilfer is one of 27 Superbowl winning QBs. That makes him an "All Time Great Quarterback in the NFL"?
I didn't say this at all, and why are we even talking about Trent Dilfer.

I don't see where any Saints fan said he was a "great" player. He was a decent QB on some horrible teams and is remembered as such. Once again, how does that make him overrated?

No, you said this:
quote:
His record as a starter was 35–101–3 (26.3%), the worst in NFL history among QBs with at least 100 starts. He retired having never played on a team that notched a winning record or made the playoffs.
Basing a QBs ability/worthyness on wins-losses and playoff records is not a good idea. Especially at a time when the NFL was all about defense and running the ball.
Like I said, I didn't see the guy play, but I think he is one of the few bright spots in a very very very dark history of Saints football. That alone makes him shine brighter than he should. He's no Brees. He's no Roaf. He's no Jackson. But I think he deserves his mention along with guys like Eric Martin, Johnnie Poe, Stan Brock, etc.
