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.
B.S. Hardly any team outside of the Pats has lived up to those expectations and if you take away the non call on the PI then we make and win that second SB. Your “expectations” are unrealistic.

We can only go by what we actually won, which one superbowl in 20 years with Loomis. Getting screwed in the NFCCG was bad luck, but Loomis has had good luck too with Miami passing on Brees and Brees should recovering better than anyone expected. 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.

And I say BS. Was he or was he not the GM for the last two decades?…The one who DID in fact win a SB? It’s petty to say he lucked into 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.

Not sure Bako has much of a following here for this revisionist view … but he would do well on the Flat Earth Forum and NASA Studio Staged Landing on the Moon crowd.

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.
