I think Saints fans view him as a hell of a quarterback who was stuck on crappy teams.

I remember he hosted a call in show on WWL with Cooper for a short time and people spent so much time gushing over Archie Cooper had to say on air, "When you call in please don't spend 5 minutes telling my Dad how great he was. He appreciates it but it takes up so much time that we need." The very next caller spent 5 minutes telling Archie how great he was and how bad he felt that we couldn't put a decent team around him.

I got to meet him and he was the nicest most genuine person I've ever met. I saw him a few minutes later and though I expected him to pretend he didn't see me he stopped, shook my hand and said, "Merry Christmas, Jebboy."

There is no doubt Drew Brees is a better quarterback but Archie will always be my favorite.

Drew would have never survived on the teams Archie played on
Conversely, it would have been incredible to see Archie play under the CSP system
