In regards to their careers, Roger Staubach once said, “The only difference between Archie Manning and I is that the Cowboys drafted me and the Saints drafted him”
At 2:15 Eli Manning looks exactly like his dad! Now I understand why Archie didn't want his son's to go to bad NFL teams. He sacrificed his ambitions for Superbowls, his sons don't have to. And case in point both of their sons are Superbowls champions.
Archie Manning, of his 35 NFL wins, 11 of those were comebacks: that practically 1/3 of his win total. Good thing he had ability & guts, otherwise the Saints would've won even less.
At 57 years old, two QBs stick out to me as a kid. Archie Manning and Jim Plunkett. Both those guys were unfortunate in many ways, but in the end I think people realized how great each guy was.
Lost in all this...was the amazing writing of the NFL Films team. Jeff Kaye was very good too after taking over for the late John Facenda as the NFL fils narrator.
THE BALL IS ON THE FIFTY THE DOWN IS THIRD AND TEN That was in Sports Illustrated in 1971 when Arcie was at ole Miss how does the rest of the lines go on the Greatest quarterback to ever play the Game
Archie Manning was a really good QB. Because he played on two shitty teams at the time doesn't get nearly the credit or respect that he deserves in my opinion. Archie gets forgotten unfortunately. Credit Archie for being Loyal and staying with the Saints. He also didn't have any other premier talent around him on the offensive line, or other great players on his team.
Arch got the last laugh over Bradshaw and Staubach and Plunkett and Theisman etc. He raised his sons to win Super Bowls. I’m a dad. There is no greater feeling.
He was the greatest college QB I ever saw. It was so unlucky for him to be stuck on a joke of a team. He should have demanded a trade. What a waste of ability.
@@enlightenedwarrior7119 MANY QBs of that era threw a lot of ints. And Archie had the bad luck of a crappy o line and crappy receivers. Too many people automatically blame the QB for a pick, when it's often the result of bad team play.
So he was a great quarterback it's just the rest of the team sucked so they cheered Archie on and though the Patriots team is better than Tom Brady is and yet they always cheered him on instead of the rest of the team what is wrong with people nowadays
I'm sorry, but you can't say the teams around him were bad for 14 years in his career.... He lost his last eight games of his career on two different teams. I believe the speed of the game was too much for him, and he never adjusted. He never played against black elite talent or black talent at all until he got to the NFL, and I think that was a shock to him. He was not very good at reading his keys, and he had several opportunities. They could have drafted Doug Williams, and the rest would have been history. He was right in your backyard and homegrown, oh, but he was black, so that wasn't going to happen. But we want to keep celebrating this hillbilly loser in terms of wins, and i'm not going to let anybody slide on this. Yes , he could throw, and he could run , but he couldn't do much else at the NFL level. He threw a pretty ball, and he was very athletic, but he didn't win. The same people supporting him still believe. The South never lost the war and that they would rise again.🤣🤣foh

God bless you Archie. You'll always be my favorite Saint.
I guess he needed good players on his team to at least get to the playoffs.
Poor archie i feel bad for the guy but im glad his sons have done him proud
His sons have won Superbowls for their teams and he never won one. He never went to the playoffs
It seem he was a great QB, he was the bestin the NFL, it's just no players were that good for him.
At 57 years old, two QBs stick out to me as a kid. Archie Manning and Jim Plunkett.

Jim finally got situated with a good team and won 2 SB's with the Raiders.
Why Jim though? I’m 10 but I like history very much, and didn’t Jim Plunkett have to come back?

Not a great player on his team.
Yes you will always be my favorite saint
Archie Manning is the Ernie Banks of football, great player who played on a lot of bad teams.
Archie was sacked 83 times in his first 2 years. 83 damn times!
If archie manning was with the Steelers they would have been unstoppable
They were already unstoppable.

Which superbowls did your sons win?
@@davidmitchell6873 XLIX.
It will be sad 😥 when these great players go to the great blue sky

He was loyal to the team and city to a fault.
Look up his stats he was a pick machine

How can you go to the Pro Bowl when you threw more INTS than TDs in that season?
😂😂
Ask Joe Namath. He's in the Hall of Fame.
or Ken Stabler....who did as well while playing with one of the great teams of ALL TIME
different times, DBs could literally maul you. Nowadays you touch the WR its a spot foul.
1:35 Eli Manning
Question? Who was Archie, Olivia, Cooper, & Eli rooting for in Super Bowl XLIV?
They had to been rooting for Payton. Archie played for the Saints, but they weren't going to pull against one of their own.
Archie manning cooper manning Peyton manning Eli manning .........to be continued
Arch manning now.
@@imtheattacker then Peyton’s son (name I can’t remember), and then Eli’s son Charlie
Marshall manning. And achies little brother who plays center I think.
He was the only player, that was great. The rest of the team, sucked.
So he was a great quarterback it's just the rest of the team sucked so they cheered Archie on and though the Patriots team is better than Tom Brady is and yet they always cheered him on instead of the rest of the team what is wrong with people nowadays
He was with the saints for 11 years, he couldn't win games on his own.

You don't understand how things work.
@davidmitchell6873 Well, please explain. I would like to hear what you think.
The saints didn’t have a winning seasons for the first 20 years of their existence they were a trash organization
