Stephen A. Smith: Kellen Moore should have SAID NO to Saints job (5 Viewers)

[webster]

Good grief! What do y'all think of this? I just found this on YouTube from February 13.

He’s a joke. I don’t think he believes what he says, he tries to get reactions, not a serious person.

I think it's safe to say that they have had that discussion and also have had discussion about the QB position. The FO will follow CKMs lead on the QB situation and whatever direction he wants go.

It would ease my mind if Loomis would state publicly that he is ending the cap craziness. Otherwise it’s hard to jump on board because that will mean that there is no end in sight for us sucking.

Stephen A. lost all credibility (if he ever had any), when he went scorched earth racist on the Duke volleyball player lies.

If I’m not mistaken, SAS was the first talking head, to openly call an athlete a “scrub” on air multiple times. Opening the floodgates for everyone to go full blown negative on athletes. I guess Jim Rome did with calling Jim Everette “Chris”, but that didn’t open the flood gates. Any athlete, who gets to the professional level, has talent. They shouldn’t be subjected to harsh critical name calling. Just professionally call a spade a spade and move along. No need to give the green light for keyboard warriors to takes gross shots as well. SAS has lived a life of lies. He has never played collegiate basketball. Jason Whitlock has investigated that and pulled the cover off, which forced SAS into telling more cover up lies about it. I don’t give frauds any credence or any of my time. I rather walk the Earth and go by what I see.

I agree wholeheartedly

Fan's get too upset over random takes. Saints were and are a bad job. Kellen took the job. Should he have, we'll see in 3-4 years. Is he the second coming of Sean Payton? Probably not. Is he as bad as Dennis Allen, Probably not. Chances are better that he's at least better than an inept Dennis Allen who was historically bad. I'll take that at least. There is at least hope when you look at the Saints coaching staff even if a lot of the things that give me the least hope are still present.

A lot of people, including some on this board, were and are displeased with Saints ownership, Loomis, cap situation, talent level, injury plague and age of the team at various positions. Based on that, it is not illogical to opine that Moore should have passed on the job. But none of those things are secrets and Moore took the job anyway, I assume because he relishes the challenge of building this team back to playoff relevance and hopefully beyond, and making a name for himself as a great coach who succeeded against the odds. Good grief!!, he's gotta be better than the previous coach and hopefully he brings in young, exciting players and and up and coming coaches. Hopefully Loomis has learned that kicking the can down the road hunting superbowls is not the way to manage a team, especially when history shows you're not getting to superbowls by doing it.

And remember, he was lauding Lia Thomas, now he's against men competing vs. women. He never stood up for Riley Gains. He's a pathetic piece of work.

Much like Ryan Clark, Stephen A. lives in his feelings. He is fun to listen to though.

It's listenable when the Cowboys blow a lead.

2006 was a WAY worse situation and Payton made that work.
Kellen can steal the division this year and have cap space next year.

2005 was the bad situation, 16 vagrant road games sums it up best, and the ‘05 Saints lost a bunch of one-score games, some of which could be attributed to everything to do with the frantic circumstances caused by Katrina. I remember the Saints being minimal spenders leading up to the 2005 season, feeling like the 4-game win streak to end the 2004 season to get to 8-8 meant a solid foundation was in place and that they only needed changes on the margins + better luck with health to get over the hump. There is no reasonable way to know how right they would have been about that, but we can at minimum establish that back-to-back 8-win seasons preceded by 2002’s non-playoff 9-win season (9 wins gets them in in both 2003 and 2004) means they were a mediocre team, not the low-talent and poorly-coached disaster you usually associate with 3-win teams. Had a random weather event destroyed Foxboro and the surrounding area in August 2007, I don’t think the ‘07 Pats make the playoffs.

Things seemed ready to be restored by 2006 and they entered that offseason with lots of salary cap space + the #2 overall pick, meaning they could execute Payton’s plans to be better at the margins which then turned into the #1 offense, a formidable passing game, and the return of Deuce McAllister from his ‘05 season ending injury to bolster the run. Then the entire NFC was weak in 2006, which is how a 10-win team wound up with a 2-seed and a team starting Rex Grossman at quarterback on purpose wound up with home field advantage and a Super Bowl berth. Most of the lack of belief in the Saints leading up to the 2006 season came in the form of questions (which looked like “are they ready to be back in New Orleans with a first-time HC?”) than statements (which would look like “the Saints haven’t done enough to improve their roster”). Everyone knew 2006 wouldn’t be 2005 all over again, but getting to double-digit wins in an anomalous down year for an entire conference didn’t hurt.

Smith's arguments are truly stupid as well as uninformed.

 

[SystemShock]

Coincidentally, I say NO to listening to Stephen A. Smith all the time.

Precisely .

Im just put this here…



…& he has the audacity to talk about pro athletes & teams?!? This is what impotent commentary looks like in action. Lol…all bark, no bite!

 

[Noisemaker]

Stephen A backs up like a crawfish into his hole constantly with his crappy comments about every single person in sports. I remember he was saying Joe Borrow and LSU were going to loose to Clemson in the National Championship Game. After LSU won, he said “i didn’t know Joe was like that”. I am thinking did he watch LSU any time that whole year?

 

[DSnfla]

Yet some in this site continue to give Loomis a free pass. Maybe this will wake you up.

Saints expected to part ways with Taysom Hill in 2025

Ian Rapoport said it’s “hard to imagine” Taysom Hill returning to the Saints in 2025, and the Broncos could make sense as a landing spot.

Are you serious??? A click bait article from a Bronco's site!!!! And what the heck does that have to do with Loomis??
