The Loomis narrative
Loomis strikes me as a fossil, believing what worked 20 years ago will work today.
My biggest issue is his repeatedly bad drafting. He only nets about 2 starters for the team each year. Payton covered it up a lot by asking for players and using a lot of mediocre athletes who had a good feel for the game. And Brees covered up a lot of poor linemen and receivers. DA just can't win without a talent advantage.
Loomis strikes me as your typical CEO, doubling down on mistakes or maybe not able to see his own mistakes and blaming stakeholders for their attitude instead of improving.
- His choice of DA was weak and won't do anything to fix it.
- His strategy of keeping players till they die of old age is expensive and not working today.
- Since 2017 his drafting has been abysmal.
- His free agent choices this year seem poor. I'd rather have Onymatta and Ellis than Moreau, Saunders, Shepherd and Williams.
- Choices like Davenport vs Hendricks... Wtf?
- Committed to Carr without really doing the homework.
- He treats the fans with contempt.
