Re: Saints @ Panthers Game Day Thread
Mickey Loomis did a lot of things on purpose to protect his job. He brought in Dalton and locked up Taysom long term while gutting the oline and retaining horrible starters like Peat and Ruiz to create QB controversies. QB controversies protect the GM by causing fans to blame coaches and wait on results of a lineup of QBs before realizing deeper problems at the GM level. Its a briliant stall tactic. Then he traded our first round pick for next year, which may be #1 overall, which was brilliant because a team with a high first round pick is attractive to other top GM candidates. Meanwhile we have no first rpund pick, a bad team, and lead the league salary cap spending on players like Peat and Hill. He also stockpiles players with long injury histories and discipline issues, because the when something goes wrong he knows gullible fans will just say we were destined for a ring before so and so was injured, suspended, etc. Mickey Loomis may not know how to win without Sean Payton but he knows how to protect his own job without winning.
