Allen better not mess around with naming Rattler QB#2
C‘mon man. These all sound like Loomis decisions to me.
I’m not a man
The WR room today is literally the worst it has been since 2006.
No it’s not - it’s better than it was in 2021, you’d have to go to the Sean Dawkins-Eddie Kennison era to find worse WRs than the 2021 WR room
You’re blaming Payton for two DE’s that didn’t work out, but who’s to say that he made that decision?
So was Sean Payton only a genius to you? All these whatabouts come across like you taking Payton’s misses personally. He didn’t get everything right, but no one does. It’s okay!
Wasn’t he here when they picked Trey Hendrickson? Was Payton the reason that Hendrickson left? Didn’t this regime draft Foskey. Didn’t they pick Penning?
He was also there when they picked Rick Leonard in the fourth round. We can do this tit-for-tat all day but I don’t find it useful to the 2024 Saints.
Last I checked Loomis is in charge of the salary cap.
Making it possible for the HC to sign the players they wanted - even the bad ones (hi Jairus Byrd, sup CJ Spiller, keep your head up Brandon Browner)
Now onto the young QB problem. Doesn’t this franchise have a history of not picking a QB in the first round? Who’s to say that Payton didn’t want to trade up for Mahomes and Loomis said no to stay put? We don’t know. But what I do know is that Denver traded a bunch of first round picks for Russell Wilson, then traded a first round pick to the Saints for Sean Payton himself. Yet, Payton right now in Denver has a first round QB before the Saints.
Just this decade, several of Drew Brees’ high-level peers retired. The Steelers, still coached by Mike Tomlin, picked Kenny Pickett. The Patriots, still coached by Bill Belichick, picked Mac Jones. The Giants, not a beacon of coaching stability after Tom Coughlin moved on, still picked Daniel Jones. The Chargers, who were about to move on from Anthony Lynn, still picked Justin Herbert. The Saints, still under Sean Payton’s coaching, picked… Ian Book, two years after jumping half the first round to take a small-school defensive end. I’ll leave it to you to figure out which of these isn’t like the others.
How is that even possible? His record last season wasn’t much worse than the Saints’.
