Bobby Hebert's gamble in 1990 paid off big for NFL's players

Yes the Saints one the division once in the Montana era, had they been in a different division they would have had several division titles.

If you replace Hebert with Brooks you end up with the same.

By he I meant #3. 51, 56, 57 and 53 greatest of all time yes. but the team was a .500 ball club with Walsh, Fourcade and Wilson at the helm.

Not only were we in the wrong division,we were in the wrong conference. I'll go to my grave
believing if we had been in the AFC during the Dome Patrol days,we would have appeared
in a minimum of three Super Bowls. The Denver team that was blown out by the Niners 55-10
lost to us 42-0 earlier in the season. Starting in 1985 and ending in 1997,the team that won
the NFCCG was almost a lock to win the Super Bowl. The quality of teams was huge
between the conferences and peaked in the late 80's. Imho,John Elway doesn't get the chance
to play in and lose 3 Super Bowls early in his career if Denver were in the NFC.
