New Orleans Saints

A list of the best New Orleans Saints of all time. For many years, the New Orleans Saints were the laughingstock of the NFL. Their fans wore invented wearing paperbags over their faces at games to conceal their identity because those teams were so bad. One of the only players worth watching in those bad old days was Archie Manning. Superstar quarterback, Manning spent most of his days in New Orleans running for his life behind porous offensive lines and had little talent at the skill position. It took the Saints nearly 20 years to make the playoffs. Behind the intimidating Dome Patrol linebacking crew, which was featured some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-25-greatest-linebackers-of-all-time">best linebackers of all time</a>, the Saints went to the playoffs four times in six seasons.It took until Drew Brees arrived in 2006 for the Saints franchise to finally hit their stride. Behind one of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-nfl-quarterbacks-2012">best quarterbacks in the NFL</a>, the Saints reached the NFC Championship Game that year. The team's fortunes improved as they slowly added the greatest players in Saints history. Finally, in 2009, one of the best Saints teams ever captured something that many thought wasn't possible: a Super Bowl title. Behind Brees, wide receiver Marques Colston and a high-flying offense, the Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. The Saints offense is one of the best in the NFL and with up-and-coming stars like tight end Jimmy Graham, New Orleans looks to be unstoppable for the foreseeable future.This is the list of the best New Orleans Saints of all time.
