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. Life happens and s**t happen … Improvise Adapt and Overcome. |
