Re: Saints Likely To Trade 2024 1st Round Pick
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.

Re: Saints Likely To Trade 2024 1st Round Pick
Bako you will be less than happy for the foreseeable future because "The Saints Front Office and The Saints Process" will more than likely not change anytime soon.
If your dream team organizational process is really as you described in your post. Then maybe one of the current NFL teams involved in a front office, coaching staff and roster change, Houston, Tampa Bay and Atlanta are a better match to your beliefs. Best part is we should be able to see what's what by January 2024. |

Re: Saints Likely To Trade 2024 1st Round Pick
Let's please stay on the topic of the OP. No need for belittlements . Engaging in disparagements accomplishes nothing !

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. |

He had a big fourth year and then he left. We have to realize that we’re going to have holes. Every team does. We just have to be elite at our strengths, stay healthy, and have a bit of luck.

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.
