Perhaps we can have the opportunity to meet face to face and discuss these topics. I seriously feel I would enjoy that. Alcohol, food and music required. |

As an aside, which I am quite sure will piss you off, I also have 25 years experience as a computer systems analyst. I guess you can say I do have a few "goods". |

You claim to "know" why the basis of my opinions are meaningless. But you still don't get it.... I don't base it off of something some random media guy had to say. The Saints are always way over the cap going into the off-season, and have to make so many moves just to get under. But they don't do much of anything to improve the team, and often do NOTHING to improve, because they don't have the money. This isn't college where you recruit. Getting players in this league is all about having the money. You don't even have to go after someone like a Von Miller. Just spread it out more evenly with solid players. I must have said this four or five different times over the last day. All Loomis does push back problems. You say he's accounting for the cap increase, which is what I hear every year, but every year is the same. I know what he THINKS he's trying to do. I'm a lot smarter than you realize. But the fact is he's not doing a good job. You think that I have to be an accountant to understand. But you are refusing to acknowledge my point, over and over. I'm not breaking down the nuts and bolts of the deal, I'm discussing the results. I've used numerous analogies to get this point across. It doesn't matter what is discussed behind doors, I can still see when mistakes are made. The results speak for themselves. He doesn't deserve any credit for any good decisions, if you expect me to believe that none of the bad is on him. Because you're basically telling me that Loomis has no say at all. You are basing your opinion of him being a yes man on "fluff", buddy. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

I don't say this to be mean spirited, but I don't much care if you have a single day of experience as a computer analyst, I'm talking about the actual building of the system. It's one thing to look at something with an instruction manual and figure out if everything is working right. It's a whole different thing to build it. So I don't know what you think you're proving to me by plugging your experience. So no, that doesn't anger me.
Back to why this doesn't give you "the goods". As the computer thing was clearly an analogy, you don't have any inside knowledge on what goes on in the NFL any more than I do. You continue to contend that you know something that I, or we as fans, don't. It's common knowledge that this front office has not operated very wisely in years. I'm not having to guess, I can SEE it. You both underestimate my intelligence, and overestimate, or over state, the degree of difficulty in constructing player contracts. Your whole argument is basically trying to make me believe that, no matter how bad something might look to me, Loomis had a plan for that. I guess that's why they lead the world in dead money. Because he was "totally" prepared for all the failures. Not everything is his fault. I don't expect him to see the future with Galette doing what he did to get cut. But he's just one of the many, many huge contracts that are weighing this team down. |

Re: Looks like Spiller will be back
The only thing I don't like about Byrd is the health issue. I would like to see what he can do when he is 100 percent and we have to get a little pressure on the QB. our dbacks have no help on that area what so ever.

Re: Looks like Spiller will be back
Well we will find out how good Byrd can be this year. His dead money is more than his cap hit so he is going no where.
