Grade Mickey Loomis' Job in FA

jeanpierre · 08-03-2011, 07:18 AM

"I - Incomplete" waiting to the start of the season to see what we have...

Some really good signings, concerned about Offensive Line (Brees), another vet LB (Casillas hasn't shown he can stay healthy, depth); another DE (Will Smith BS Suspension)...

I just realize that I need money and Loomis hasn't signed ME.

Loomis gets and F- since I'm still out there!

I am super impressed. The Franklin signing is unreal. Our Dline will be great. If Shaun Rogers is here to play-wow. I think he will be, coming from Detroit and Cleveland. I hope our Lb's holdup because Shanle scares me.

The Goodwin/Frisco signing is why I give an "I" and why it stays an "I"...

Payton and Company will come up with something (i.e. Kreutz) or know something already (i.e. Tennant)...

Don't get grades or pats on the back until you get the Lombardi...

With a report fron NFL network sometime later today The Saints will announce the signing of C Olin Kreutz will make Mickey Loomis the class Validictorian of 2011. I give him an A++

QBREES9 · 08-05-2011, 01:33 PM

ok I'll give him A. Great work

No, I'll definitely give him a pat on the back because he is putting us in place to get the lambardi...he could have just sat on his a$$ and did nothing, but he's been wheeling and dealing to to get us the right people. The question is how did he do getting the right people here so we can win another SB. He has done an amazing job

B-...

Overspent on Roman Harper(.) No other team would have paid that much for Harper - so why guarantee that much money?!?

Equivalent or better Strong Safeties were available; why guarantee a white elephant of a contract?!?

Would like to have seen another OLB signed (i.e. Manny Lawson, Rocky McIntosh)

Nice salary dump of Bush...

Though Olin Kreutz would seem to be a nice consolation prize, letting Goodwin geaux and breaking up the finest interior offensive line is risky...

Franklin, Rogers signings was good, and overdue...

Keeping so many Saints FA was nice - though overly lauded...

Where's the long term deal for Brees? Nicks?

No way you can't give him an A or even A+. First, best draft in team history, second, best UDFA class in team history and third, best FA class in team history. This is by far, the most talented team ever fielded by the Saints organization.

I'd rather look at his entire body of work to this point.

Loomis and Payton have built one of the top NFL "Systems" in probably the shortest period of time.

And it's built to last. You hear that Atlanta??
