Loomis said he hired Moore, because Moore had a great plan to be competitive. Why would he then not follow Moore's plan after hiring him?
Ireland says that Moore will be making the decisions on the scheme. Which players play where and do what are a big part of the scheme.
Moore says the reason he wanted the Saints job from the very beginning is because he loves the collaborative effort between the coaches, management and the personnel dept. That means he loves that management and the personnel dept work with the coach and don't dictate to them.
It seems to me that for a lot of fans the "I'll trust Moore's decision on Carr" had the unspoken caveat of "as long as he decides to move on from Carr." They seem to be convincing themselves that Moore is being forced to keep Carr, that he's just keeping Carr for financial reasons, or the latest gem that Moore's just keeping Carr to avoid taking any heat if they have a losing season.
The only way that they can convince themselves that they actually trust Moore, while also avoid giving any reconsideration to their opinion of Carr, is to tell themselves that Moore is only settling for Carr or being forced to take him, even though Moore says he's excited to work with Carr and feels fortunate to have him.
