Question Should Pat Swilling be in the Ring of Honor?? Should the Saints have Banner for Pat ? (1 Viewer)

As much as I liked Swilling when he played for the Saints he owes a tremendous credit to Ricky Jackson.

Swilling was a great player but teams game planned for #57. They had to know where he was at all times.

Jackson had a direct influence on Swilling being the player he was.

The same could be said for the Giant's LB core during LT's heyday. Great players always get the bulk of the attention.

Yes exactly but it's a well known fact that teams were afraid of Jackson.

It was a good problem to have and when you throw in Mills and Johnson it was pick your poison.

& Taysom

Like Drew, Taysom owns some records

Man I LOVE Taysom, love him. But idk about Ring of Honor. Saints HOF? Absolutely.

But again, we can't put every good, fun player into the Ring of Honor. There needs to be a high threshold to get in or eventually it'll be filled with "good player played for us".

Demario honestly has a better argument for ROH than Taysom.

umm, class of 2022

Sam Mills | Pro Football Hall of Fame

A new league gave the diminutive Mills his big break. In 1983, Mills joined the Philadelphia Stars of the United States Football League. In the league’s three seasons, Mills made 592 tackles, earning All-USFL honors three times and helping the Stars win back-to-back championships in 1984 and...

I mentioned this a while back on this thread, it's glaringly obvious if you look at Swillings career stats......

 

[Saint Jack]

Should be in
Swilling
V.Johnson
Mora
Stan Brock

Mora should get in ASAP since he’s getting up in age.
Aling with Payton and Rizzi, their the only Saints coaches with career winning records with the franchise.

 

[SpeckKillerII]

It should be all 4 as The Dome Patrol!

 

[Green-Ghost]

I can think of many people that might need to be put up on the ring of honor. Certainly Pat swilling is one. I would also nominate William Rolf.

 

[jahsoul357]

I agree with everyone that said that they should be in as a collective unit and it should have been done a long time ago.

 

[Scott B]

Mora and Jim Finks should be in before Swilling

I would have thought Willie Roaf was in there

 

[St.Dan]

I wouldn’t have a problem at all with Swilling being on the ROH. All four backers of the Dome Patrol era need to be on there. Mora does, too.

Agreed, as I did in the Taysom threads, that the bar for Canton, Ohio has perhaps been lowered a bit too much already.
