There is a reason why Loomis is where he is and the fans are in the stands!

So he's beyond question?!? I don't think so my friend...

He's had as many busts as booms...

Luckily, the most important one was Sean Payton falling into his lap...

Oh hes not beyond question but when its fans on a message board doing the questioning, I take that with a grain of salt. Loomis isn't perfect and no one, NO ONE, ever gets it 100 percent right with picks and trades. If we (the fans) could do half the job that Loomis and the Saint's front office do, we wouldn't be here, we'd have jobs in the NFL.

That's too bad for Ol' Nicks. He was great for us and that's a shame if that's how it will end for him.

Losing Nicks hurt the Saints. Not seeing the field hurt the Bucs. Now, he's done. Hopefully, he saved some cash and can lead a healthy life.

once he started showing up on injury reports i then understood why we let him go.

but if he can prove he is healthy and will to be fair about his pay then you have look at it. would he sign as a back up cheap?

maybe work out as a center?

med amd money governs all

Jermon Bushrod didn't have a terrific season with the Bears last year either, now de la Puente followed him there...
