Force Feeding DA is About Loomis Trying to Prove that He Can Win a Championship Without Payton and Brees (1 Viewer)

Evidently that is the issue . I find this thread really bizarre. Problem with our GM is he is trying win.

How?

I've heard him speak before but there is nothing in what he said that gives any evidence that he has some kind of obsession with proving he can win without Payton. If he wanted that, he would not have done everything he could to keep Payton here all those years when he was flirting with other teams. And he would have hired the guy Payton endorsed to be his first HC post Payton.

Beyond all that he's never sought the spotlight and has spoken more now because DA is terrible with the press and public. And Loomis isn't good at it either. I mean, Loomis has been and NFL GM or in an NFL front office for like 40 years when did he suddenly develop this ego?

But, if you have so indication of what you say he is doing, I'd be happy and interested to look at it.

I don't think Loomis is a great GM, I think he's mid-level and he needs a coach like Payton to lead the organization and be more of the personnel guy. DA clearly isn't that.

I dont like DA, but Payton wasnt a great personnel guy

That's what this mainly boils down to. If this were elsewhere, DA would have gotten a one-to-two-year window to show he's a competent HC.

Then he shouldn't have hired DA.

So next year we are 80 million over the cap. If that’s not bad enough in 2025 we have 8 30+ year old players that count 103 million to our 2026 cap.

We are actually 63 million over the cap... gotta keep up and get your premises straight.

Sean Payton on Panthers saying he tried to run up score: It's the NFL, play better

With the Broncos ahead by 21 points in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Panthers, Broncos head coach Sean Payton called a fake field goal and had wide receiver Courtland Sutton throw a pass to fullback Michael Burton to convert another fourth down.

Read this article. Thats the difference between a great HC and one that apologizes to a rival, stating “That’s not how we play football” “That’s not who we are”. Very very telling about the fundamental difference of the mindset.

Or he just wants to build a winner like every other GM in pro sports.

How's that going so far? Unlike any other GM he has zero accountability because his name is in the succession plan like heir.

How?

You say the reason DA hasn’t been fired is because Loomis is trying to prove he can win without our former QB and coach. Well, they aren’t coming back. Your logic makes zero sense to me how you correlate the two points. Wouldn’t also be true if Loomis fires DA it’s because he is trying to win a championship without Brees and Sean?
