I won't let you insult me and pretend you are not insulting me. All I did was make it real. You actually should respect that.

I am sure there are many qualified front office #2 guys around the league who would be better. Loomis is the worst GM in the league. He has no qualifications and coasted to the position on the backs of Payton who was hired by Benson and Brees who was hired by Payton. He is just a guy who got lucky once and can't rebuild.

Coach?: Someone with a record above .400 on their previous resume.

QB?: A draft pick who won't cost more than Maholmes in 2025 and hasn't already proven his mediocrity. Take the Tom Brady approach and try a mid round pick, not the Drew Bledsoe approach hoping a 9 year old dog will learn new tricks.

Most teams go through rebuilds. KC went through a mini-rebuild last year trading a star WR for picks and lettings some vets go. The Rams went through a rebuild prior to their 2018-2022 run, thats how they had the money to add guys like Ramsey and Miller. Now that same Rams GM is going through a rebuild again. The Bucs also went through a rebuild, had amongst the most salary cap in the league when they added Brady and went on a spending spree and got a ring because they had the room under the cap to do it, now they got a ring and are rebuilding again. Boston and Guido need to turn on a TV and start following the NFL. 9-8, 7-10, you can get that without a rebuild. But to fire on all cylinders sometimes you need to take a year off to reload.

We will never finish with a top 3 pick, the teams we trade our picks to will get the top 3 pick. We will get some raw small college prospect with a great youtube reel who we traded up to 15th to grab who gets hurt in camp, and the team we trade our 1st rounder to so we can do that will get a top 3 pick.

So again, it’s more anti Loomis rant than any real answers. You have no basis for calling Loomis the worst GM in the league. His team has never finished last. His team has won a SB and would have a second if not for the refs. The worst GM in football doesn’t do that.

You say they were lucky to win 7 last year. I say they were unlucky to ONLY win 7. Refs gave both TB games to Brady. That’s 9 wins there and a playoff birth. It amazes me how you outright refuse to give any credit to his accomplishments. But hey, each their own.

Boston there is no point in continuing any discussion with this type of hate filled babble. When we respond to his post the more hateful and detached his position becomes. Back on the band list for me and never to engage in secondhand posting again.

You are probably right and I don’t expect to change his mind. Others might benefit from reading our back and forth though. Logic should trump his baseless hatred in other users’ minds. I just don’t like using the ban feature. I’ve never been a fan of denying someone a platform I guess.

Let's please stay on the topic of the OP. No need for belittlements . Engaging in disparagements accomplishes nothing !

Fine but saying I cannot 'fathom' something is also a belittlement and a disparagement. Its just a lamer one.

My objections to Mickey Loomis' cap strategy have been laid out a million times. It causes us to lose quality young and prime players like Williams, Ellis, Hendrickson, Armstead, etc, forces us to keep players with chronic injury and off the field issues like Thomas, Peat, Maye, etc, losing prime free agents, shopping the bargain bin for aging replacements, and never being able to move on from players who are not available and are a bad fit. But AG ignores these objections. All he can see with his rose colored glasses are that we got under the cap so haha Nick Wright is a loser. He does not address my core objections except to say Peat is amazing contributor who is perfect for our system and can't be replaced and we had no use for Williams and Hendrickson.

Do I hate. Yes! I hate losing. What did we do last year? Lose! Exactly the number of losses I predicted. What will we do the next two year minimum because of Loomis' refusal to rebuild? Keep losing. So yeah, I hate that.

Look at the Panthers. Everything they have the past year, we could have done. Now they have the #1 overall pick in the 2023 draft and after that rookie's development year, they have $106 million more in 2024 cap space than we do. Sorry if I am so crazy to say I hate thats them not us. They didn't have to go 0-17. They had the same record as us in 2022 but they didn't trade their 1st round pick and they didn't go all in on signing aging veterans. What is insane to me is thinking our GM is doing a better job because we have a slightly better chance to get to lose a wildcard game this year maybe, while the Panthers went through a rebuild with the same record as our 'all-in' strategy and emerged with the #1 overall pick in a good QB draft and tons of available cap space in 2024.

Re: Saints Likely To Trade 2024 1st Round Pick

I fail to see why Carolina is an example of who we should model ourselves after. They certainly have done no better than Loomis over the last 20 years. Carolina last had a winning season in 2017 when they lost to us in the playoffs. No SBs. Comparing their cap situation to ours is apples and oranges since they’ve had multiple 5 win seasons recently while we were fielding winning teams.
