re: Why we should be very thankful to have Loomis as GM

Loomis planted staph in their locker room duh! Genuis!

Along with the listening devices in the opponents coaching booths.

And they didn't really pay Grubbs game-changer type money. He got $10mil less than Nicks I believe. It might have been a slight overpay, but he was a solid replacement for the lesser price tag.

The maturity argument is the only thing I ceded to them for letting him go. They were the only ones in a position to really know who the kid was.

I really wish he would have been able to play these past couple of yrs so we could see whether it was an issue or not. Unfortunately it would have been in our division.



However, I still have trust in mickey and it's not even close, just worried about o-line. Usually a team goes as the o-line does


ETA:
I'd compare it to the Graham thing right now. Only loomis and SP and others inside the organization really know to what % his foot injury played in him falling off the earth in the second half of the season. You know it was a huge factor, but who knows

He has improved Jason David was the only bust he brough to the team. I said that six years ago and almost lost my best friend, lol.

Even worse in Oakland is that owner Davis Jr. came in and nixed the trade. (Even tho in this case, he prolly avoided overpaying a player) What a front office in disarray. We better be thankful that Benson is so old that he knows better than to stick his nose into the specifics of running the team.

Usually you can equate poorness with the amount an owner has his hands in the team cookie jar. Who comes to mind first? Jerrah & Dan Snyder leave no doubt how much they want to win. They also are the best examples of leaving the football operations to the actual football peeps.
