I dont agree w/ that. Ireland is still over college scouting, and the personnel scouting is who found MVS, McCovern, and CEH from the scrap heap during a trying season. Loomis has plenty of people in place in front of him that are good at those things.

Just say you don't trust Loomis and leave it at that.

Good points. Fair enough. Those all seemed like good mid-season finds, and if I'm gonna recite my issues with the wasted picks trading up, and the lack of return on those players, I need to give credit for the good things. I can agree with all 3 of your examples for this season, but let's see if those "solutions" stick longer term. No doubt they were good finds for THIS season; but those guys were all available for a reason. No one else wanted or needed them on their rosters before we wanted/needed them.

In very broad-brush terms, I do believe that, since CSP left, more has gone wrong than has gone right. Maybe that's a coincidence and it would've happened anyhow, but CSP isn't here to blame. But ML signed off on those decisions also, and he is here. And I can't remember a time when CSP doubled-down on an apparent mistake. He owned it, took his medicine, and moved to fix it. I haven't seen Loomis do any of that since CSP left.

I don't trust Loomis.
