If You Were to Add Someone to the Ring of Honor (Not Named Brees or Payton) Who Would It Be? (1 Viewer)

Who would you have inducted into the Ring of Honor if you could? Reminder the Ring of Honor is the highest award in the Saints organization. Only 5 people (QB - Archie Manning, OT - Willie Roaf, LB - Rickey Jackson, K - Morten Anderson, Owner - Tom Benson) have been inducted into the Ring of Honor.

Colston.

Most of these guys belong in there, no question. But I add Jim Mora first cause his style brought professionalism to the Saints.

Between Gleason and Swilling to me. How about both.

[CHAT=][/CHAT]Jim Mora. He made the Saints a respectable team. If we had an OC other than Carl Smith, I believe we would have won a Superbowl.

All the above are deserving of the honor.

Man.
That’s tough. A couple I’d like to pick.
Went with Sam Mills.

Isn't Smith still coaching? When I was a kid my mom would curse him every time we ran on second and long.

I would also say Mora. Before Payton, he was the first architect of the franchise.
I sorta see it like Mora make the Saints a regional phenomenon and Payton turned it into a national brand.

If active personnel are eligible, it’s Loomis - and it’s not even close. IMO.

Presuming Brees and Payton are already there.

Went with Deuce. Wouldn't mind Evans, Colston, and Mora as well. Couldn't we somehow just put the Dome Patrol in as a unit? All 4 of those guys were special in their specific tasks. Mills hopefully will soon be a HOFer, Swilling was a terror while here, and Johnson is just all around under appreciated as a tackling machine. Together they were the best unit ever in football history. Is that not worthy of a special honor?

I think the Dome Patrol should go in as a group. I also think Jim Finks should be on that list. He masterminded the second best roster in the NFL for close to a decade.

Forgot about Finks.
Great point.

Where is Aaron Brooks? First QB to help lead the Saints to the playoffs AND win a playoff game? 2nd best Saints QB?

And obviously the rest of the Dome Patrol, Finks, and Mora. That run between '87 - '93 gets overlooked. No losing seasons in that seven year stretch.

voted for Johnson. He made players not want to go his direction.
