New Orleans Saints Quarterbacks
The New Orleans Saints have had a history of some colorful quarterbacks. We are looking for comments and feedback on the history of the quarterback position for the New Orleans Saints.
5. Billy Kilmer
When the picked up then RB Billy Kilmer as an unprotected free agent after the 1966 season the new franchise knew his days as a running back were over. The newest franchise in the NFL hoped to add depth to the position of quarterback. Billy Kilmer improved as the signal caller for the New Orleans Saints over his first 3 years in spite of not having played the position really since his college days. After Kilmer was replaced by Archie Manning as the quarterback of the New Orleans Saints he went on to finish his career with the Washington Redskins and made it to the 1972 NFC Championship game.
4. Aaron Brooks
When starting quarterback Jeff Blake got injured in 2000 and was replaced by Aaron Brooks. Brooks and the New Orleans Saints shocked the NFL world by defeating the defending Super Bowl Champion St Louis Rams. The continued a great season by going 10-6 and winning their division. Brooks helped the New Orleans Saints cross another hurdle by winning their first playoff game against the same Rams. When Brooks left the New Orleans Saints after 5 seasons he was the New Orleans Saints career leader in touchdown passes. Brooks was replaced by Drew Brees after the 2005 Katrina season and only played one more season with the Oakland Raiders.
3. Bobby Hebert
Bobby Hebert aka the Cajun Cannon was a local favorite. Hebert grew up in Cut Off Louisiana south of New Orleans and played college ball at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, LA. Hebert won a championship with the USFL before joining the New Orleans Saints. Hebert led the New Orleans Saints to their first winning season and their first playoff appearance. Hebert could not however lead the New Orleans Saints to defeat their division rivals the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs. Hebert left the New Orleans Saints for the Atlanta Falcons where he played 4 more seasons.
2. Archie Manning
Archie Manning was drafted by the New Orleans Saints with high hopes. The problem was Manning was never given any help. He never had any talent surrounding him and no matter how good he was it was not enough. Manning was traded to the Houston Oilers and he finished his career with the Minnesota Vikings in 1984. Still Manning is held in such high regard that no other player has been allowed to wear his #8 jersey since.
1. Drew Brees
When the New Orleans Saints picked up Drew Brees as a free agent only one other team was interested in having him. The Miami Dolphins made an offer but were not sure how Brees would recover from surgery. Brees had been a solid starter for the San Diego Chargers until he injured his shoulder during the 2005 playoffs. Most teams were not sure how the smaller Brees would recover. The New Orleans Saints wanted Brees and they made sure he knew it.
Brees did not disappoint. Brees embraced the city and led the drive to help bring the city of New Orleans back. Brees led the New Orleans Saints to a NFC division Championship, their first NFC Championship game and then a first ever for the franchise Super Bowl Championship. Brees has led a powerful offense that has led the league in most categories every year since he joined the New Orleans Saints. The thing that helped him was the improvement of the defense in the 2009 – 2010 season. Even though Brees has not hung up his cleats he has to be considered the best New Orleans Saints quarterback ever.

I never heard of half these guys, plus it would have been a lot better if you did 2 things, put them in correct cronilogicial (sp) order, as well as had all of them in Saints uniforms
I love Mark! He was awesome in Jacksonville!
@4212answermasonic nigger
**********John Fourcade’s cousin, james F Fourcade Jr lost his the tip of his penis in a car accident*******
get a real picture of Ed Burns!!!!! Seriously, this is how you show your respect to former players??
bears and saints
wheres chase daniel
Awesome, good job man! Nice pick on the song too. Considering he spent 99% of his career here, I’m surprised you couldn’t find a pic of Aaron Brooks in a Saints jersey.
@4212answermasonic theyre also making more movies down here like green lantern
@maxthevid07 you’re a dumb fuck. the man has not even played a down yet how you goin judge him. Its not like he is Joey Harrington or Tyler Plako..Wait tilee preseason before you make false judgements on the kid fucking imbred.
boy yall are some haters fa real stop being a bitch and be happy
i remember jason cowman, he sucked compared to Super Bowl MVP/ former Charger quarterback 9, Drew Brees!
no joke i think edd hargett is a relative of mine
Question, have you heard a Kathleen Blanco joke? Any? The National media seems to have completely omitted her from the Katrina Narrative, well she was only the Governor.
katrina hits new Orleans + president bush dont care too much + Obama say Saints is gonna win because katrina kill and destoy new orleand and saints win + 90% of new orleand people are black and Obama is Black + Disney is making movies about Black Princess living in New Orleans and is the best movie of Disney in 2009 but the movie really sucks + payton manning in the super bowl dont change plays at 3rd & 4rd quarter + brett favre and payton intercepted in same play and same time = CONSPIRACY
my uncle played with manning! back in 73 caught 4 of his passes (he was injury reserve)
At the time I posted this, he was still with the Redskins.
You forgot one more Chase Daniel
I would have to say no on the Hornung thing. GaryNumanAlbums, I would have to flip your numbers 2 and 3. Archie was a better QB than Bobby. Bobby had a real coach, team, and front office. Archie had no support at all. I would agree with you on Brooks, but what does that say about the QB’s we’ve had when Brooks is in the top 5?
Should Paul Hornung be considered a Saints QB? In Green Bay he played Half Back, but was the team’s 3rd QB behind Star & Bartkowski. He was taken in the expansion draft following Super Bowl I, Hornung never recovered from a nerve injury & never suited for the Saints, but was on the side lines the first season.
cowan you mean chase daniels rite
is it me or does it seem like most of all the qbs we had were from minnesota
bob douglas looks like scott fujita
Arron Brooks was a hell lot better QB than John Fourcade. he fucking sucked and so did Steve walsh. John Fourcade didn’t win a playoff game with them, Brooks did. Heath Shuler, BJ Hobert, and Fourcade are the worst Saints QB’s in history.
I’m telling you people, the best Saints QB’s were as following:
1. Drew Brees (The best, and led them to a SuperBowl)
2. Bobby Hebert (First winning seasons)
3. Archie Manning
4. Arron Brooks (Give this fucker some credit, he won a playoff game)
I actually got to see Fourcade play in a win against Buffalo in 1989. I always thought that he was a good qb who could have been a starter somewhere. Too bad he was on the wrong side of 30 when he got a chance to shine.
