Mickey Loomis’ GM duties

Two things nobody seems to understand: One, Loomis is not a real GM. Latest case in point, "I would not have fired Dennis Allen." Not his job. He's the accountant. And not the Ben Afflek kind either. He just never has been that guy who makes those calls although he badly wants to be.

Loomis is just the bean counter who runs the Saints' salaries on a Ponzi scheme. He spends future cap on today's players. He is counting on the cap going up and big-money players to renegotiate to take payouts now and push their salary cap number into the future.

Covid bit him in the butt and I'm surprised he survived it. Depth sure didn't. But now he seems to be back to business as usual.
