Gayle As An Owner ? Yea or Nay

Is she satisfactory as a "silent" owner, or do we need someone with more zest and feel for the game?

By silent you mean she doesn’t put herself in front the cameras constantly?

Gayle Benson is not the problem.

Zest 
We will find out if the losing continues. Is she engaged(zest) or does she let Loomis do what he wants at all times.

Yea
Because anyone else would be trying to move both teams at the first chance they could.
So count your blessings.

She's no different than Tom, or any owner really. They are only as good as their QB and head coach.

From what i hear Gayle writes checks, no question, whenever asked to by management. And yet, she still gains more wealth every year. She is totally cool spending it all before she dies cause it all might all go to that bitchy granddaughter. That's about as good as it gets. I am banking on that when Pels have to pay luxury tax.
Lets compare that to Seattle - Paul Allen used to write checks above and beyond. I spoke to an NFL player who told me during his ownership, they had the best of everything. Then Paul died and the team was passed to his sister who let the Allen trust run financials for the team, who are essentially an accounting firm paid off a percentage of profits and thus made massive budget cuts.

I feel like she's everything you want. She let's the front office do their job and writes checks for all the re-structures we have to do each off-season because of our salary cap strategy.
Doesn't feel the need to be on camera like Kraft, Jerry, Irsay, Blank, etc.

Problem is the front office is NOT doing their jobs, neither are the coaches and the players.

I don't care about the name of a shitty beer company. Gayle is a great owner. She cuts the checks and gets out of the way. You don't want an owner who interjects themselves to everything, especially when they know little about football.

Very hard no

you giving her grief for rebranding Dixie.
I have literally never seen anyone buy Dixie beer
The rebranding isn't the problem...the subpar beer is.

My grandfather had me drink Dixie Beer as a child.
This was right before he told me that the rabbit I had named and fed each visit was the dinner just eaten.
After hurling for awhile, I was convinced I would never drink that rot gut beer ever again.
For some odd reason, the Easter Bunny makes me ill, too.

No. She needs to go. Allowing your employees to set up fiefdoms in abstentia is about the worst thing for an organization you can do.
Posted on 10/25/22 at 3:18 pm to Scientific73
She’s fine. She invests into both the Saints and Pelicans and we’ll never have to deal with any “the team is going to leave the city” nonsense as long as she’s around.

Yall are really asking for trouble.
Just like when everyone was bitching about Drew Brees and Sean Payton.

Bruh she so under qualified for this role she gave it all to Loomis. We're never getting rid of that guy as long as she is alive.
Loomis. The guy who trades our players for crap. Gives away our draft capital and has murdered our cap. Hired David Allen without even interviewing real candidates.
Tell me how this gets worse. We're 2-5 and likely headed to 5-12.

I don't get the questions about Gayle. She is everything you want in an owner. Pretty hands off, writes checks when asked, and she cares about the team/city.
Who would you prefer she model her ownership after?
