I think Brees is an easy choice, and not one I would disagree with.
However, I do think serious consideration should be made of Willie Roaf. He was the most dominate LT in the league for years and it was not close. Although he did not play a glamorous position, Roaf was as dominate as any Saint has ever been.

I am going to go with someone that don't get nearly the love he deserved from NFL people.

Sam Mills. May he rest in peace.

Morten Anderson, fools! (As far as I know, he's still the all-time Saints scoring leader.)

I think the candidates would be:

Willie Roaf
Deuce McCallistar
Drew Brees
Ricky Jackson
Sam Mills
Morton Anderson

HM:
Joe Horn
Dalton Hilliard
Eric Martin
Archie Manning


It would probably be Brees, Roaf or Jackson and I'd go W. Roaf right now, but Brees if he stays here another year or two.

Brees. Only reason to hesitate is because many others were a Saint longer. He's playing his way into the Hall of Fame.

IMO it's Brees. Before Brees for me it was always a toss up between The Great Dane and Ricky Jackson with Morten winning out most of the time.

If a kicker is your greatest player then you do indeed have a shitty franchise.

Mike Haas
Keith Poole

Seriously Ricky Jackson, close second Brees hopefully both will be in the HOF one day it's a shame Ricky isn't there already.
