Zack Baun: Top Graded LB / DPOY cand. [Why Baun Isn’t Still a Saint Thread]

Here's my issue with this take. we lucked into Drew Brees but this is the ultimate example of a player out performing of what an organization thought of him. It happens all the time, but come to the saints its luck but when they leave its ineptness. I watched Henderson I watch Baun yes they left and improved I also watched Sproles, Brees, Jabari Greer. Yes I understand that If everyone knew that hendrickson was going to get 17 sacks in 2 seasons he was worth the money. We all know that its not hard 4 years later. I just dont understand how people expect GMs to predict the future.

This not directly at you Maybe it's just me I think, that i'm feeling the board is disappointed, which is understandable, but now days because everything is nitpicky insults. It feels like we not even talking about saints anymore or even having a discussion at this point. I wasn't trying to argue just offer a different perspective of Hey Trey wasnt trey and we gamble and lost it happens. Seems its just getting to the point if you not insulting, Allen or Loomis or a player why post. The team take to long to pick a coach lets insult the GM, we lost a player 4 years ago lets insults the coach that got fired, once we hire a coach lets insult the GM. Maybe its just time for me to take a break from SR

I don't expect GM's to predict the future. But the mark of a good team is acquiring hidden talent that others over look and keeping great talent when its on your roster.

Even from 2006 to 2020, we made some mistakes, but we hit more often then we made those mistakes. This is why we were a talented team and a contender. Fast forward to 2022-2024 and its been the exact opposite. We let more talent walk then we've kept while extending players with hefty contracts that we should've let walk. For 3 years we've been doing the exact opposite of what we should do.

Loomis is the common denominator between the two. It stands to reason that Loomis was doing the recommendation of his coaches. Payton was right far more often then not. Dennis Allen was wrong more often then right.
