We didn't have this problem when Loomis was the dedicated GM over football. Free Loomis in 2015.

Rugby Saint II

I do wonder if Loomis has too much on his plate?

I too, have wondered the same thing. Ever since he has had to deal with the Pelicans and the Saints he's been virtually non-existant. I didn't feel from the beginning one person could handle both jobs.

There it is!

All but about 2-4 games this year we were thoroughly beat upfront on both sides of the ball.

That and what someone else said- "they worked their butts off"

We looked lazy and unmotivated. Like Rocky before the fight with Mr. T

Byrd was bad because we really only signed one big player on D but he got hurt and he had back surgery and missed most of training camp. Then we draft a CB who was not NFL ready. I admit I wanted him because of the name, he had a very saints-like name. I think he's going to play well Sunday if he plays. However, our offense is just as much to blame. We did not address our OL at all. And also, we have to take the schedule into consideration, quit buying the "you play what's on your schedule" and start considering the "you play, based on your schedule". I knew our defense was going to have a tougher challenge this year when you factor the offenses we played compared to last season. And most defenses had these problems against these teams. That was where it showed Drew needed OL help because he could not put teams away like in the past. Was it Kromer? Was it Nicks? That has to be figured out what's affecting the OL play and Drew's production. I feel Drew's becoming a diva letting his fanbase and team get slaughtered by naysayers if its true he's playing uninspired because his defense won't get him a turnover to give him a short field. I REALLY hope that is not true.

The fact Baptiste hasn't played any considerable amount of snaps in any game scares me really badly. I mean how could you reach that badly on a pick in the 2nd round and still not even stick him into the fire to see what he's made of especially with the clowns we had at CB this year...

I agree, if he is so bad that car salesman from the street are starting over him then he needs to be cut now. He is already too old to invest more time in.

Some of you kinda missed the point of my post.
I understand that just because you get players through free agency and the draft you might not be successful, but i feel like we completely missed in some aspects. Whether its the person evaluating these players or the people responsible in helping these players progress on the field and in games. I feel somewhere along the line its just not getting done right and we need a change before it is way beyond our time (drews time). I feel compared to other successful organizations such as Denver, San Fran, Seattle, New England, we are lacking in the scouting or development of talent.
