Al Michaels/Cris Collinsworth’s Saints ‘Rushmore’
Posted: Sun Sep 29, 2019 10:38 pm
Watching this Saints game vs Dallas, they place Ricky Jackson, Roaf, Brees, and Payton. First, sudden thought for me was, “No Archie????”

You could also have partial Mt. Rushmores such as:JuggernautJ wrote:(And I'm not picking on the Saints. I think I'd feel the same way about many of the "newer" franchises. Atlanta, Carolina, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, etc have all had some fine players and seasons... but I don't consider their accomplishments to be "historic" enough to yet merit a Mount Rushmore... When I think of someone carved on a hillside it's Jim Brown or Don Shula.)
I think Andre Johnson belongs on the Texans Mt. Rushmore, and Jimmy Smith and Fred Taylor belong on the Jaguars Mt. Rushmore. What about Mike Kenn and William Andrews on the Falcons Mt. Rushmore? Boomer Esiason or Carson Palmer or Chad Johnson or Lemar Parrish or Ken Riley on the Bengals Mt. Rushmore? Is Mt. Rushmore for HOFers only, or for HOVG for teams who don't have enough HOFers to fill out a Mt. Rushmore? I think it's the four best players in franchise history, not coaches.bachslunch wrote:You could also have partial Mt. Rushmores such as:JuggernautJ wrote:(And I'm not picking on the Saints.

Jacksonville: Tony Boselli.
Atlanta: Claude Humphrey, Morten Andersen.
Tampa Bay: Derrick Brooks, Lee Roy Selmon, Warren Sapp.
Baltimore Ravens: Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Jonathan Ogden.
Cincinnati: Anthony Munoz, Ken Anderson.
Houston Texans: J.J. Watt.
Carolina: Nobody.
New Orleans, New York Jets, and Seattle just reach a reasonable four IMHO.
Leave the other parts of the mountain untouched for now.
They did it the week before with the Browns by including Paul Brown.Rupert Patrick wrote:Coaches don't belong on Mount Rushmores. I would put Archie on there, Morten Andersen, Brees and Rickey Jackson.
Paddy Driscoll, Larry Wilson, Jackie Smith, Larry FitzgeraldChrisBabcock wrote:A Cardinals My. Rushmore would be a tough one... Slater, Trippi, Wilson, Fitzgerald?
