Sorry this is not a thread about Hardy or Suh.

 

I just google on the internet and haven't seen any good photo of the Sam Mills statue (it looks so small in those pics), as you know it is a very important symbol of this franchise but I just barely see photos of it. There should be more information about this man and his statue, shouldn't there?

 

Just curious about it...

Sam Mills is more a legend than he was an amazing player. Not saying that he wasn't an amazing player, because he was, but he's a guy that was bigger than football, and that's the most important thing. Honestly, Saints fans and Panthers fans are the only places that legend is recognized, and he played on some really shitty Saints teams.

Mighty, I know you are in China so I'm not sure what types of video sites you have access to but search NFL Films Presents Sam Mills. It's a pretty lengthy video on his career. It's tough because not many people take interest in him so you don't find much on YouTube.

 

I will tell you the Statue is considerably bigger than Sam Mills was in person. He was a Steve Smith sized man playing middle linebacker. Incredible determination just to make a roster.

To help put this in perspective, Mills couldn't get a college scholarship at any level due to his height. He was a walk on, went undrafted, then couldn't even make a CFL roster due to his height.

He went on to become a muti-time All Pro selection and had his #51 retired by two teams.

      Well if you are gonna put it like that I probably would have to agree with you.  We’ll see how it goes. I am kind of rooting for seeing some Picket this year just for a change up. I root for a change up every year though lately.

      OK honestly I don’t identify like that but if I did I would think about being the first raised on TV generation (bad), we were probably latch key/before the term was invented - because I was raised by a single working parent, stuff like that. No baby sitters until after dark. Afternoons you just waited for an adult to show up. We were the bussing generation where they tried out their social engineering and forcing the races together in school (good and bad in that), and definitely the first bunch to have to deal with the threat of the big bomb going off. I, like everybody else was taken out in the hallway at school and taught how to and where to sit and receive my radiation dose if someone nuked us. And then they killed our president right in front of us. That is probably the most destabilizing thing that gets the least attention. The atomic bomb and the potus killing.  Around t(e same time we had the Beatles and music becoming a youth thing, with the youth gaining economic power they still have today, and top it off with a good memory of childhood - all tne Coke bottle caps had pictures of NFL players in them. We collected them. I particularly remember Mick Tinglehoff Minnesota Vikings lol. Complete with flattop haircut. We had pro football before there was ever a super bowl and in those days baseball was the king of sports in the US.But football was coming for them. And soccer was what weird funny talking foreigners did lol.

      When Kenny Pickett's arm looks noticably zippier than your starting QB you know problems are ahead.
