The Building is on FIRE and Mrs Gayle Benson’s CEO is watching it burn.

So you judge Mickey Loomis only on time with DA? What about the previous 16 years? This team has been good for a long time and ML has found a way to get players signed, resigned, structured etc.

He is one of thd better GMs in the league.

And for those on this site calling out Mrs. Benson. We don’t have rich companies and people capable of buying an NFL team in New Orleans. We’re lucky she’s kept them here.

Blaming Mrs. Benson is Chicken S by the way. The best type of owner stays out of the way and lets the football people run the organization. If DA has another non-playoff season, I’m sure a move will get made.
For 40 years the Saints fired people right and left. It didn’t work.

We had one of the best QBs ever during those 16 years. A guy who elevated a lot of players who we know wouldn’t have had such great careers without him. We know this because we see what happened to many of them when they left. So for those years all Mickey really had to do was field a competent defense and this team would have not just been good, but likely a dynasty. It didn’t happen. Also let’s not forget what this team was when Mickey was in charge BEFORE Sean and Drew came here.

You can say Mickey is one of the best GMs in the league but aside from maybe some creative but risky financial decisions that haven’t paid off and two really good drafts over his entire tenure, I say he’s overrated.

I don’t blame Gayle anymore than I would blame anyone who inherited something they didn’t work for and don’t understand. Regardless, if this team continues to be managed horribly, and she owns the team, unfortunately she bares some responsibility in putting the right ppl in charge to fix it.
