Go look at his INT numbers when he was on the better Saints teams in late 70’s and you have your answer. Not the Cowboys, Steelers, Raider, Vikings etc teams of that era but the best of what he played with. How he gets expected from ANY cause of the poor Saints teams is beyond me. He was sacked more than anyone but threw more INTs than anyone as well. He was what he was as a pro, below average. Great representative of the franchise and by all accounts a good man but you are what the numbers say you are like Bill Parcels said.

All this.

Roger Staubach said if they had switched teams - they would have switched careers.

Archie would have been a Hall Of Famer.

Most of his yardage came after the game was no longer in doubt and the other team was in a prevent defense.
