I am extremely disappointed with this team. To start and to address Papz's points, the root of the problem right now sits with Mickey Loomis. There are MORE problems than Loomis, but he's a good example and place to start.

Loomis rose higher in the organization after Mr. Benson passed away and is a small minority owner. He tried to keep the team together after Brees retired after the 2020 season thinking we still had time on our "window" of opportunity for a Superbowl with the assembled team.

Loomis tried to do exactly what brought Brees here, but didn't research well and there were better options available for Quarterback.

Problem was that the Saints window closed about 2020. That ship sailed from 2015 to 2020, and we missed a HUGE opportunity in that 2020-21 playoff season. Thinking we could squeeze more from the ensamble 2021 season to now was merely wishful thinking.

Much of where we are is where Sean Payton wanted to leave the Saints to preserve a "legacy", same for Tom Benson, Loomis, Brees, etc. Problem is, ALL of those people are GONE. The Saints must find themselves or be satisfied with being a shell of who they were, much like the Cowboys, Raiders. Frankly, the Saints had 1 SB and 1 very long and very good run. It's not enough to call a "dynasty" so the Saints need to get their heads out their arses.

Further, Loomis is not very smart. He's somewhat vindictive and can be childish. He has no business talking to media and "fans" and supporters of this team. He gets the org in trouble with cap money and is good at shuffling contracts and players around, sometimes demanding veterans restructure for lower pay. These things work short term, but the Saints should NEVER be that far over the cap to start with.

Loomis also talks down to fans while also saying stupid things like comparing Dennis Allen's career to greats like Tom Landry. Dennis Allen was a very good defensive coordinator but well known as a poor team leader. Merely looking at his coaching record and circumstances of being fired at the Raiders should be enough for seasoned front office people to not want to bet their organization on him as Head Coach.

I could go on and on about what is wrong, but for now, Loomis has got to go. Don't care that he's been here 25 years blah blah blah, he's being paid MILLIONS per year without accountability. He can stay as part owner and continue to blunder the Pelicans.

#1 Loomis must go. #2 Find a GM. #3 Try to salvage the contract and cap dysfunction and make a 3-year plan to escape this salary cap hell and somehow reload....
