(Saints) had the time in the early 90s where they made the playoffs 3 years in a row.
My point was, you never really heard anything about them until Brees came along and started slinging..
Hell it took them 33 years to win a playoff game.
Agreed, Brees has been the most significant game-changer for their franchise.
And if I'm picking, solely from recollection, the most chronic NFL 'punchline' /based on percentage of franchise' seasons near the bottom/, Saints would be at the top of the list (along with the Bucs). Cards & Bengals would also get (dis)honorable mentions.
As far as notable Saints from the late 80s, I kinda liked Bobby Hebert.. but not in the same class as Brees. peace
