I don't know if Loomis really calls the shots regarding who plays or who sits, but what I do know is there has been a ton of mistakes at the QB position since he has taken over as GM. To your point, Brooks was a good QB but absolutely wasn't better than Blake, and then the entire Delhomme thing was an even worse mistake by allowing him to move on and not starting him. When it comes to Brees, great signing. When Brees got old, that was another big miss by Loomis. Outside of the claim of just missing on Mahommes, did not make any significant efforts to address the position. Even had the opportunity to replace a broken Brees with Brady and still wouldn't do it. Fast forward to today, no idea what the thought process behind signing Carr was, my best guess is he was the best of a crappy group of free agents available? Going to be interesting to see what happens this off-season, my best guess is he does nothing to improve from Carr, we shall see.

I’ll never forget watching Brooks come in and devastate the “Greatest Show On Turf”… we have seen and shall see NOTHING that even holds a candle to that by Carr. Not even close.
