- Archie Manning was, perhaps, the most talented QB of his era. That talent was wasted by a Saints organization that surrounded Archie with no offensive line or defense, and precious few offensive weapons. Using his natural athleticism and innate playmaking ability, Archie single-handedly kept the Aints relevant for a decade.
All footage and audio belong to the NFL and their respective owners.
I think people who look at Archie's stats would be a bit misled. Firstly, stats are looked at way more today than they were back in the day (easy access to them via internet is part of that). But also his stats, for a solid number of years, were top 10 in the NFL. QB's did not usually put up phenomenal numbers, the only exceptions before him that I can think of were Unitas and Len Dawson. Hell look at Bradshaw's numbers.
For anyone who wonders why Eli Manning didn't want to be drafted by the Chargers was because Archie knew what Hell looked like.
Archie was a hell of a quarterback he was more athletic than both his sons.
It's a shame he played when the saints were at their worst.
Just think what if the Saints had Archie in the late 80s and early 90s instead of Hebert.
As a little boy of 9yrs, I watched Archie play with Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl with a broken arm and lost the Heismann vote to Jim Plunket...never figured that one out? I was thrilled he was going to play with the Saints. My mother was from New Orleans and we lived 60 miles east on the MS coast. Loved to watch him play and still do. Never realized his release of the football reviled Dan Marino's football release. He was GOOOOOD...one could say too good for New Orleans Saints but we sure loved him. Thank you for posting.
They didn't call him crazy legs Manning for nothing. It seemed like everytime the ball was hiked he was in full sprint for his life. LOL!!!
The reason you'll never see another Saints player wear number 8 :P
How is it possible that his sons can be statues compared to him?
from these highlights this man had a phenomenal arm.
If Archie arrived in Todays game he’d be a Top5 QB. He really is an Athlete born out of time
No free agency back then you were stuck with who you had and no salary cap if Manning was on a good team he would have been one of the greatest shit he made 2 pro bowls with loosing seasons
Still my favorite Manning qb. Growing up in Texas,I saw him play every Sunday. I used to imitate him when I was junior high.
Thanks so much for this! I started as a little boy Saints fan in 1970 (and didn't even live in Louisiana!) Archie Manning was the first poster I put up in my room. He was very talented & for MANY years had not a very good OL in front of him. Even as you could see from some of the clips, many times he was scrambling for his life! So great to see some of my other favorite Saints receivers - #46 Danny Abramiwicz - Dave Parks - Wes Chandler, etc. GEAUX SAINTS!
Archie. A gentleman and a scholar.
Absolutely awesome compilation here, Pocky! Thanks for making my week :) Archie never got to play behind a good offensive line in 11 years here. And he didn't have much of a supporting cast from the other positions on offense for his first five years. And you picked some darn good channels to choose from; I've watched the Reidy and Volsky channels extensively the past coupla offseason summers. As I heard on an NFL Films segement once about Archie, he might not have been the best of the best....but he was most certainly the best of the worst.
I love watching Archie when I was a kid
Archie and stabler were my favs back when I was just a kid , Archie was a great quarterback , fun to watch , had a lot of style and natural ability. He put the saints on the map along with Dobler and Muncie. TPC111
