This could be Alvin's last year as a Saint and it would be a massive mistake by Allen

The list of mistakes Loomis and Allen have made post Payton are a mile long.

Going after Watson
Benching Jaemis for Dalton
Extending Davis, Jordan, Ruiz, who am I missing? I know there's more.
Signing Carr
Extending Carr
Penning
Miller
Foskey
The punting situation
The kicker situation

Now do a list of what they've gotten right...

I'll give you most of those, but once you singed Carr to the deal, you had to rework it to get under the cap. They shouldn't have made the deal, but they had not choice but to re-work it. And I don't think signing Demario or Ruiz was a mistake. Demario is the 2nd best player on the team behind Lattimore and Ruiz is a solid Guard at a reasonable contract. Imagine where the OL would be without him.
