Yes he is.

But I like Archie and Billy Kilmer the best.

Jake Delhomme is the only Saints QB to take his team to the Superbowl, too bad it wasn't the saints. Thanks Jim Hasslett

Did you see Archie play?

I've seen em all play. Hands down Drew Brees is the best quarterback to ever wear a Saints uniform. Yes we've had some good ones and God only knows we've had some bad ones including the aforementioned Snake Stabler and Aaron Brooks.

No, but he's definitely playing like a Hall of Famer, no doubt. He has average to good WR's. He doesn't have a Jerry Rice or a Lynn Sawn to throw to.

Sorry thought you said best of all-time. He's by far the Saints QB ever.

Not only is he the best Saints QB of all time, but i would go as far as to say he may be the best Saints player of all time. Up there with Jackson, Swilling, and Roaf.

Brees easily. He takes practice squad players and makes them look like all pros

Archie couldnt do it so he is not even in the same league as Brees. We are blessed to have Brees and if he continues this kind of production we will have a top notch QB go into the HoF as a Saint.

No doubt its Brees. Even though the team is only 6-5, I would hate to think of where they would be w/o him running the offense. Do you think they would have six wins?

Not a fair question to any of the possible candidates...Archie, Bobby, or Drew. Different teams in different eras with different coaches and front office people...to many variables to make even a remotley fair comparison of them.

Drew will most likely achieve the most success.

Please just quit with Archie.

Yeah, the team around him sucked. I get it. But Drew makes the team around him better. He's made Colston, Miller, Moore, and yes, even Reggie Bush better. Archie made no one better. Legend or whatever, Drew if flat out better.

There is no way you or I or anyone can say what Drew would have done with Archie's teams. Probably no more than Archie was able to do. They were BAD. No telling what Archie would do with Drew's teams either.
