Like, yeah let's bring this player in because he COULD be decent in about 4 seasons time

Bring in a player that knows football, that can compete straight away

Nothing is going to happen.

Loomis is NOT a good general manager...

Lack of a comprehensive salary cap plan that exists beyond the current calender year...

More NFL draft and free agency Failures than Successes...

And He Overpays like a MLB General Manger - you know, the ones that pay second tier pitchers ten percent less than the best and signs them to four-plus years...

AND so tired of Loomis We Trust BS fans and how he found Colston in the seventh round

Thirty-two teams, including the Saints, passed on him for the better part of seven rounds!!!

Need a GM to reign in Payton and stop BS like reaching for Cooks when we needed that third round pick for a linebacker...

Or making a questionable selection of Jean-Baptiste in the second round...

Or giving up a second round pick in addition to a first round pick to select Roll Tide?!?

A Good GM would have said, "Look Sean, no question we need RBs, but that kid is going to need 16+ touches per game and you don't have that for him; let's keep our first round pick for next year and keep spreading out the cap and continue to add younger players EACH season..."

I so agree. However, if we were going to (once again) trade up (and once again, throw away mid-round picks), at least it was for WR Cooks. He was the only one worth it.

A 2nd round pick used on OL (or WR) with the 3rd on LB, oh boy what a day it would've been. Wonder who we woulda got in the 1st if we stayed 26th? My fav (CB Verritt) was off the board.

Loomis isn't going anywhere. Payton tried to have it written in his contract that if Loomis left then he would be allowed to opt out of his contract but the NFL said no and that had to be scratched. As long as Payton's here then we're not getting rid of Loomis, Vitt, etc.

They have been much more successful on the offensive side of the ball. It's been a revolving door on the other side. Reminds of the Dan Fouts Chargers. Could score a million but gave up two million.

This is what scares me that Brees is becoming Fouts.

A lot of those scouts should be gone next year.

jeanpierre · 12-14-2014, 09:29 PM

Has anybody looked at the names and bios of the Saints Scouting Staff?!?

Very Telling...

I hope his seat is hot. All of their seats should be hot...if a multimillionaires seat can even get hot.
