Archie Manning myth

I think Archie went to 2 pro bowls and we had crappy records. We use to also score a ton of points but we would give up more. Archie was good but he played for the Saints when Meachum owned the team. That guy was a scum bag!

Roger Stauback would have been teaching in Annapolis after 3 seasons behind a Saints offensive line...

Wes Chandler was good. So was Chuck Muncie and Tony Galbreath.

Muncie. I forgot about Rogers, but I think he only played with Archie one year.

I attended every Saints game from 67 to 92. Also attended many training camps when Archie was playing. Teams were terrible. Only time he won Player of the year was when he had some support behind him and decent coaching.

Payton and Eli would be chasing his records if he been with a team like the Niners, Cowgirls, Dolphins.

worst post ever. as someone who watched those teams, Archie was the only bright spot many seasons for the Saints. you, my friend, belong on the Rant with statements like this.

I have meet several players from when Archie played and they all have said that he was much better than people realized. They all have said it would have been interesting to see what his career would have been like if he had been on some other teams. Two of the players were Joe Namath and Merlin Olsen and they brought it up. I never asked t hem for this information we were just having a conversations about football. I was also sharing how most Saints fans had suffered for a long time.
I ran into these players because we have a family friend who has been a successful football agent.
Take it for what it is worth but most players who played then do believe Archie was a great QB on bad teams.

i think archie knows he was with a shite franchise. look what he did for eli. now both his sons won superbowls.
