Sean Payton has it figured out with all the tall receivers.

Shortness? Was it Shuck throwing? Bc he throws a high ball.

You said he was short and you didn’t understand how he was drafted in the 1st rd

I then said his numbers were elite for most of his 8 first seasons.

That’s a fact and not debatable. How did he do that being so short?

I didn’t like the signing. We already had small receivers. Should have been trying to sign a bigger bodied receive


We literally just traded for a big body rec.

But this board (especially SFP and St Aug) are melting over a 4th rd pick.

Which we will get back bc of the Adebo signing. (start a new thread and we can argue wether it’s a wash or not)

Yall need to realize that a rebuild can also mean trading for talent. Vele is a huge piece to this puzzle. Hence the reason CSP made us give him a 4th.

This was a CKM decision. Loomis just picked up the phone.

Did he get fleeced? Let’s see who gives af about the 4th when Vele becomes a a top target.

This fan base and saints talk are a bunch of vaginas.

I want a rebuild!!!

We start the rebuild….

What are they doing rebuilding???

I said in the cooks signing thread, signing a 30+ year old midget receiver to a hefty salary when you were already way over the cap is not rebuilding.

That’s the problem I have with Loomis.
No clear direction. And there hasn’t been one for years. After trading a premium draft pick for Vele, the cooks signing looks even worse. That trade at least makes some sense on its face.

No, he means Loomis.

Moore can request a WR and even name the one he wants… but it’s Loomis’ job to determine if it’s in the teams longterm best interest… to Sign someone, does the contract fit the budget, trade compensation if applicable, etc.

Loomis is Moore’s Boss
Then Loomis answers to Benson.

Nah. CKM is running the show. Loomis is a yes man. Don’t be fooled by the narrative. Any coach with balls and Loomis cowers like a bitch.

If this is the case….

Another reason Loomis should be fired.

Again… he created this shitty team with Blown Draft Choices, crappy trades and Fukking up the Salary Cap !!!!

But by organizational chart…he is Moore’s boss.

If Loomis chooses to neglect and frick up his duties…then Loomis’ boss needs to fire him !!

It’s an Utterly Dysfunctional Organization !!!

Jesus dude.

Just enjoy the ride of a new regime. Young QB. New innovative Coach. Young talent at all levels.

It’s a rebuild. Gonna be a fun year finding out who the future is at every position.

CKM is going to shock a lot of fans on how he builds this team.

He put up 2 1200 yard seasons with 8+ TDS in 3 seasons in New Orleans. These stats are available for you to look up

Lol I always hated cooks people are so impressed by those weak arse stats against those garbage arse (pac 10) defenses. Pure bust.


And im specifically speaking from when we drafted him.

He was a good receiver early on.

Age has caught up with him and he can’t help us now.

The reason he’s played for a number of NFL teams is because he’s a Locker Room Cancer.
It shocked me that Moore requested that Loomis bring him on the team !!

Hopefully he’ll be cut cause he can’t help us

Bust ?? you’re joking right?

Cooks’ numbers are top 100 in NFL history for WRs.

I expected someone who could make something happen with the ball in his hands.

He wasn’t that he was stiff asf and the king of going down on 1st contact like literally any kind of contact

Mr catch it with his chest also

And again im only speaking of his saints tenure
