And he is very good at manipulating that, we signed a 60 million dollar safety last year. Regardless of whether or not that worked (again, personnel decision), he still made it work.

I would rather use all of our space trying to squeeze as much talent onto the roster as possible than be sitting around with 80 million in cap room in March and can't even get middling guys to sign. No thanks.

...and having to dump productive players because you can't pay them.

I get people not blaming Loomis for the awful drafts and free agency decisions.

But if he's literally ONLY here to work the cap, how can anyone defend the guy when our cap situation epically fricked...

Reassign Loomis
Keep Payton
See what Dennis Allen can do

Start Peat
Start Snead, Coleman, and Cooks
Play Hill more
Play Swann and Wilson more and Browne less.

Let's see what we have in young talent

"Hey let's give browner a one year deal. He played for a great defense"

"Wow he fricking sucks. Do not want"

That still does not excuse the contracts of graham galette and browner.

Are you serious? Lmao. They gave the best weapon in franchise history 4 years 40 million. Chump change. His dead money is the result of a personnel decision

quote:

galette


Was the best pass rusher on the team and was given a deal worth his value. The team is supposed to anticipate that he would go off the deep end, or a magical video would surface AFTER the deal? Come on, dude.

browner


3 years 15 million. seriously? Well worth the risk considering what he did before coming here.

They revamped the scouting department and had a solid 1st draft under the new guys.



based on....?

Peat = lol
Anthony = good 10 games
Kikaha = good 10 games
Grayson = lol
PJ Williams = lol
Davis Tull = lol
Davison = lol
Swann = decent 6 games for a 7th rd pick


They hit on 25% of their picks up until this point.

Now if you want to let the jury remain out and wait to deem this a solid draft, then by all means, lets do that.

But if Loomis is fired, who would call in the defensive substitutions?

Again, let me ask, what the frick do you expect to get out of our cap money? Seriously? What do you consider not be epically fricked in the cap? Having tons of space? That literally makes no sense. Smart teams take advantage of all of the space they have to try and maximize the talent on the roster. That is what Loomis has done.

And again, people want to cite that we have no money for free agents, but somehow we keep signing them, so I am not sure where you're going with this.

"We can't keep our talent here!!"

WHAT Talent? Who has left? Every good player we've developed has stayed on this team for quite a long time, the only ones that left (like Jenkins) were garbage when they left here. You guys are fooling yourselves here.

Peat looked good when he was in and with zach declining(faster than we imagined) he's going to be the starting RT next year

Grayson was a future pick and you know that

Williams/Tull are talented and could've really helped this season,it's unfortunate they got hurt

Davison could develop into a nice player later on.

Swann as you said played very decent for a late 5th rounder at a position rookies traditionally struggle with.

I'd say the prospects for this class lot a good deal better than some of the others.

Of course

We need new position coaches though

No no no. Don't try to put a pretty coat of paint on a fricking Turcel.

You can't pay your tight end 40 mil when you don't have an offensive line that can protect Drew long enough to get him the ball.

Galette is a good pass rusher, AND THATS IT. He's shite against the run. And he's a piece of fricking shite human and we knew that and still paid him.

Browner was ranked below Tracy porter in PFF free agent defensive backs in 2015. But that's just a site that uses numbers and stats.

I could make a list of reasons why, but we all know them. Any naysayers? If so please explain why. He has ruined our franchise for the foreseeable future.

Honestly the main problem is this win-now mentality. If you look at the Patriots (lets not kid ourselves, they are the model of how an organization should be run) they simply do not make big acquisitions in free agency, they let most players who want big paychecks walk, they trade aging productive players away in return for draft picks, and they evaluate talent and pick players that may not be the best well-rounded or flashy players, but they are good at a few things. BB knows how to create schemes that bring the best out of his players.

We have done pretty much the opposite until this year, when we did a few things on that list. We traded away productive players for more picks. We made decent decisions with our picks. That gives me some hope about the future.

I do think we need to possibly rummage around in the NCAA for some coordinator talent on both sides of the ball. Payton needs to go back to leading this team and worrying less about calling plays.

Davison has been fine. If he played for a normal team he'd be getting 15 snaps a game like he probably deserves but since we said frick the D Line this year he gets 3x that for us and gets exposed for the rookie he is.

Thats a total nonsense, straw man argument.

You know there's a middle ground option here, right?

Its not a choice between being 50 million under the cap or 50 million over.

So are you saying the team should have let Jimmy walk in FA?

Pass rushers are at a premium in this league. If you're seriously saying that he isn't worth the money he was paid, if you take out the character issues, then you're insane. Again, the two biggest contributors to his cut both happened after this deal was signed. The team would have been absolutely stupid to let him walk away in FA when they couldn't get pass rush production from anywhere else. and guess what? We're still in that situation.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I am one of the biggest proponents of PFF stats on this board, so I'm pretty sure you're barking up the wrong tree here.

Regardless of that, again, Browner's deal was chump change. And the veteran presence he's providing for the young guys is well worth the money, if only he wasn't such a disaster on the field. You can't point to a team with a 140 million salary cap giving 5 million a year to a veteran and say that is the decision that broke the bank. C'mon, dude.

Look it up dude. I'm right about the PFF stuff. They did rankings. Browner was waaaay down there. And his vet presence is doing what? Taking cheap shots on other players?

You think the Patriots keep guys like galette around because he's good? I would venture to say no because they believe that shitty people aren't good for the team. A shocking belief, I know.

Sean Payton should be fired.

He is in full on dumpster fire head coach mode. Demote him to offensive coordinator and bring in a guy who knows how to manage something more than the offensive gameplan.

A head coach's duties extend far beyond calling offensive plays and Payton has failed at almost all of them.

Players not running schemes correctly, top 3 in penalties on both sides of the ball, inability to part with shitty assistant coaches, etc...

Lolno

He's been making chicken salad with chicken shite on offense. Cooks and Willie fricking Snead are our two best receivers.

His play calling needs to improve but he's shown in the past that he's willing to change philosophy. He can change as a coach and he is our most successful coach ever. He gets a pass for another year.

Oh and 5 mil a year isn't chump change you nitwit. You can sign a far better player for 5 a year.
