Mickey Loomis...not so bad after all..

Loomis is learning-on-the-job - and he is learning at the expense of the Saints. A mistake like Sullivan likely won\'t happen again. They\'ve also learned their lesson that bringing in players like Ruff won\'t work to address a need position.
No doubt he has kept the Saints out of cap hell, but the same can be said for about 25 other teams. GMs have adjusted to the salary cap, though sometimes it was a painful learning process.

I would be more comfortable if Loomis was left to run the financial side (and equipment, public relations etc.) and a Head of Player Personnel was brought in who did the groundwork and coordinated with Loomis and Haslett.
