Loomis' one unforgivable decision (25 Viewers)

[Noisemaker]

I know there are many threads on decisions under Mickey Loomis that have set our team back. But one BY FAR is the worst and most unforgivable.

When we traded 2 first round picks to move up in the first round to pick Marcus Davenport over Lamar Jackson.

Everyone on the TV was shocked. They all thought we made that bold trade move for one reason only, for a successor to Drew Brees.

Instead we wound up with a DE with low ambition that could not stay healthy and eventually not resigned.

Jackson has been a multiple NFL MVP candidate.

It's very hard for me to get over that move.

Loomis was a basketball point guard for a small college. Why in the world does he have the right to determine what a FOOTBALL team needs for success. Sean Payton propped him up big time. I would not be surprised if Loomis was part of why Sean eventually wanted out.

If he had good judgement, he would realize that a basketball player is not a good decision maker for an NFL team.

HIRE A FOOTBALL GM LOOMIS, WE DESERVE BETTER!

Loomis is on fire today, man! I need a thread about what he had for breakfast the day he hired Dennis Allen next.

 

[Tulsa Saint]

I just want him to hire a coach already so we have something to truly discuss.

Going over these past grievances(look I’m not a huge fan of loomis lately either) isn’t particularly helpful but that is me.

I think most people dont know that the man never played football in college. He was a basketball player. How in the world does he have power over this team!

The only mistakes that is unforgivable is how he handle Post-Payton. No godly reason why he didn't reset the cap and start a soft rebuild then is beyond my understanding

So the sin is giving the head coach what he wanted. Sean thought he was a good DE away from a Super Bowl and Davenport was the guy. Maybe the flaw was deferring to the head coach too often, like still trying o be in win now mode signing Derek Carr for Dennis Allen instead of taking that time to clean up the cap situation.

AGAIN , it has been reported ad nauseam that the Davenport deal was ALL Payton's doing. You don't know how Loomis works. He's not the one making the picks, it's the scouting dept and the HC. Only when there is a disagreement does he step in and you can bet he more than not sides with the HC. So blame the HC and the scouting dept on the bad drafting

Loomis had Chipotle for breakfast, Carr invited him.

The guy at the top (GM) should have a lot of football sense because he is the one ultimately at the top and can see when bad decisions are being made and step in. He never played football and does not know when to step in.

I can do another thread. He had chorizo and eggs benedict

Howie Roseman , Tex Schramm , there have been quite a few GMs that didn't play organized football. And it sure didn't matter that Loomis didn't play football from 2006- 2018
You're way off base

I am not going to blame anyone because of one reason, I don't know who made that call as I have no idea how involved he is with drafting decisions.

What I will say is whoever did really mess up. I know hindsight is 20/20 and all that but just the fact that he was so raw and went to such a small school was a huge overreach. I really wish I knew because I have a feeling Payton wanted a QB, but we had Brees and I think that played into it because even we had Mahomes or Jackson would they really start before Drew was gone, most definitely
not. I know Payton really liked Jackson and I thought that was who we were going to get.

There is just too much we don't know. If I had to guess it was, they discussed it and decided because Drew had several years left, they were going to invest in the defense and that was going to finally give Drew what he needed to get the team to another Super Bowl. Also, at the time Davenport was drafted we still didn't have anyone to help Cam on the other side and physically Dav was a beast and when he was healthy, he had some great games, but he was always injured and never developed.

I hope they have learned that we need a clean slate and a fresh start and make the hard cuts and suffer for a year or 2 and build it right and learn that trading up isn't always the best answer in the draft.

That wasn't a Loomis decision, that was a Payton decision.
