Re: Mickey Loomis is a Wizard
He has been GM since 2002 so he has had 20 years. With that much time, the median expectation would be about 1.25 super bowl appearance and 0.625 super bowl wins. He has 1 and 1. That is slightly above average not amazing. Then it can be debated how much credit Loomis deserves vs Payton and Brees. Loomis is the only one also responsible for 2002-2005, so I would say the least.

And the the one superbowl we won, that depended on an onside kick to change the momentum. Is Loomis as good as other GMs who have won one Superbowl this millenium? Sure. But there are a lot of those. Loomis has not managed some amazing streak, he is a GM who won one superbowl with one coach and one qb.
Loomis has been GM for 5 seasons where his team did not have both Payton and Brees: 2002-2005 and 2021. In those 5 seasons his team has made 0 playoff appearances. From 2002-2005 the Saints got worse every season under Loomis until he lucked in Payton and Brees. I dont see Loomis as a great GM, I see him as an average GM who lucked into a winning combo of coach and QB once and has never proven he can do anything without them. |

You remind me of what Pats fans say up here now that Brady is gone. Whiny, ungrateful fans that want to throw their coach under the bus. Try being a Lions, Jets, Jags, Redskins, Browns etc fan over the last 20 years and see what your tune would be like.

Saints have had a pretty steady front office, success for years under this group. They just didn’t luck into SP, they hired him into his 1st head coaching job. They went out and got DB when no other teams would take a chance. Have all their call been spot on, of course not name me one single club that has over a 20 year period.

Re: Mickey Loomis is a Wizard
And you can thank Loomis in part for building a roster that could withstand injury like last season. 54 different starters and almost making the playoffs.

Re: Mickey Loomis is a Wizard
Speaking of brittle players, I heard a few days ago that only six teams had their left tackle start every game. Historically guard and tackle are among the LEAST injured positions, but here recently they have been among the highest league wide. They were wondering if it had to do with the playcalling. They were going to get someone to research exactly what type of play was run on every injury. It would really be interesting to see those results. Regardless, it appears the Saints are simply part of the trend.

Re: Mickey Loomis is a Wizard
So, I was thinking about this a bit more and I wanted to add a few things. First to Bako…While I stand by my points I’m sorry if I’m coming off as confrontational. That’s not what I want to do. I disagree with you but I want to be respectful.
Secondly, consider this when you compare Loomis and his success to other Franchises and GMs; Has any other had to deal with the same amount of adversity as the PI no-call, The Bounty Gate BS and two hurricane displacements? I can’t think of any. |
