And the Duff Brothers in MS.The Raising Canes guy.
What do you believe that first comma is doing?Its a narrative now, in the national media. No more political speak ML, grow a pair and do what needs to be done.
He would be good. I heard he made a few bucks.The Raising Canes guy.
Do you think Loomis would be given the GM job at any of the 32 team franchises? Nope!!It blows my mind how many people are just so easily dismissive of Loomis and how easily they jump to "Oh, just get another GM". Look, I'm not aggressively defending Loomis -- maybe his time has come. But what I do feel fully confident about is that, post-XLIV, Loomis was doing what Payton wanted in the draft and in free agency. And his decision to ride on with DA, while obviously wrong in hindsight, wasn't unreasonable based on what was known at the time, and what this franchise's m.o. is.
If it was easy to get a Howie Roseman off the street, everyone would do it. Watch what you wish for, one day you might get it.
Gayle is not firing Loomis, but in the abstract, you should never keep someone that is not succeeding at their job because you are afraid you can’t do better than them.It blows my mind how many people are just so easily dismissive of Loomis and how easily they jump to "Oh, just get another GM".

And you say that based on…?Do you think Loomis would be given the GM job at any of the 32 team franchises? Nope!!
Don't be daft. He's the architect of the most winning period in franchise history.Do you think Loomis would be given the GM job at any of the 32 team franchises? Nope!!
I understand that what you say above sounds good, but that doesn’t make it true.Gayle is not firing Loomis, but in the abstract, you should never keep someone that is not succeeding at their job because you are afraid you can’t do better than them.
That’s how sports franchises in particular become perennial losers.
That’s not even what I was saying. I even said, “in the abstract.” But ok.I understand that what you say above sounds good, but that doesn’t make it true.
Riddle me this, Batman:
1) So what brilliant person in the Saints organization has a proven record choosing the general manager that’s going to be better than Loomis?
2) The NFL is littered with examples of perennial losers that can’t choose a decent GM.
I‘ve yet to see evidence of Loomis being consistently incompetent especially if you believe, as I do, that the organization gave immense personnel decision making power to Payton, and that they knowingly sacrificed the future chasing a ring in Drew’s last years. That’s not incompetence; that’s just chickens coming home to roost.
It was pretty common knowledge Sean was de facto GM after the 1st yr here, and Ireland picks the D talent. Loomis wasn't a talent evaluator when he was hired, then or now. You ever notice Loomis never stood on the table for any draft pick.....good or bad. Because he never picked them. Ireland was brought in to pick talent. It is obvious he has done a great job on defense. The O line picks are Sean/Loomis's picks.And you say that based on…?
You mean he had a window seat riding the coat tails of a Sean/Ireland "Architect" don't make me laugh. It was pretty common knowledge Sean was de facto GM after the 1st yr here, and Ireland picks the talent.Don't be daft. He's the architect of the most winning period in franchise history.
Right down the hall in Jeff Ireland's office. The guy who has been picking the talent all along.1) So what brilliant person in the Saints organization has a proven record choosing the general manager that’s going to be better than Loomis?
I have a list of incompetency:I‘ve yet to see evidence of Loomis being consistently incompetent especially if you believe, as I do, that the organization gave immense personnel decision making power to Payton, and that they knowingly sacrificed the future chasing a ring in Drew’s last years. That’s not incompetence; that’s just chickens coming home to roost.
Who hired Sean?You mean he had a window seat riding the coat tails of a Sean/Ireland "Architect" don't make me laugh. It was pretty common knowledge Sean was de facto GM after the 1st yr here, and Ireland picks the talent.

Ireland was brought in to pick talent. It is obvious he has done a great job on defense. The O line picks are Sean/Loomis's picks. You could tell it was Sean who made the picks.
Well if it’s not relevant to the point of the thread, what was the purpose of the comment? Not being argumentative for the sake of argument…what point are you making that I’m missing?That’s not even what I was saying. I even said, “in the abstract.” But ok.
