Look a lot of his "terrible FA pickups" were also bad luck injuries. Does Loomis not get credit for players like Brees, Vilma, Sharper, Allen, Kevin Williams, Unger and Anthony?

I think the FA thing is an epidemic across the NFL and not just a Mickey Loomis problem. I hope the Saints have learned their lesson on that front. Build through the draft and ith Jeff Ireland heading up scouting I think the Saints were on the right track in the 2015 draft.

Loomis also isnt the defensive coordinator, the scouting department, or the actual players.

He is a money man and a GM. And so far, no one has proven why he sucks at that job.

He did Ok with the first few Free Agents you mentioned but that's not many players considering the years he has been here as GM,but it stops at Allen because Unger and Anthony are products of Jeff Ireland and it shows Ireland had full control of the 2015 Draft and the trades that were made prior to the draft for Graham and Stills. History shows Mickey would have traded those players away for next to nothing or just cut them and got nothing in return,ala Curtis Lofton(Saints Leading Tackler 2 seasons in a row) who he let walk away instead of trading him and getting what he could get, a late round pick would have been better then nothing and would have helped ease his cap #...Mickey Loomis released many of players he could have gotten draft picks for and bad contracts to players that didn't deserve them..He's good with #'s but he showed his weekness not knowing how to get the max or how to not make trades for his players..
