+1. I think Ozzie has done a hellava job over the last 10 years or so as GM. Loomis has been solid for the most part.

Best? Maybe.

I do know that as far as the job duties of a GM, he's a very good one.

He listens to what his coaches want, and then gets it for them.

He is obviously great with numbers.

The only downside is we have over-paid numerous players during his tenure and our last 5 drafts have been pretty poor.

I'd imagine he's looking to shake-up the draft scouts if this continues, if he hasn't already. Changes in the scouting department often go unnoticed.

True Dat... and they have missed lately on the defensive side. We drafted Al Woods DT who now plays in a backup role for the Steelers. Perhaps the addition of Ryan, aka Jabba, will help us in talent evaluations for the defense. Speaking of which.... is Spencer still sought after by the Saints?

Yep, the locals here claim they are 'trying' really hard to resign Spencer but their main focus at the moment is locking down Romo to a long term deal.

Sorry...

...I know everyone is in divine rapture over his cap magic in the last 48 hours of rolling the debt forward (he must be a Democrat)...

...but the drafts, and lack of oversight and "institutional control" nets him a "F"...

So he may get an "A" for lecture but he's flunking the lab...

He needs to get his scouting and personnel house in order because these drafts and poor fits just aren't going to get it...

...the only GM that gets an "A" is the one with the current Lombardi trophy...

I noticed that some people on this board in general like to talk about politics in a negative way more often than necessary smh

Is there another way?

Its my opinion that the uninformed like to defend politics way more often than necessary. SMH at you SYH.

Politics creates negativity, I am just one of those people that believe that it isnt necessary in sports talk because people will only use it to degrade or attack the thoughts and opinions of others
