It’s safe to say the New Orleans Saints haven’t experienced as much success as they hoped for once Drew Brees called it a career. They’ve started a worrying series of quarterbacks in his place including Andy Dalton (14 games), Jameis Winston (10), Trevor Siemian (4), Taysom Hill (3), and Ian Book (1). As a team, the Saints have won 16 of their last 34 games with those passers in the lineup.
And former Saints quarterback Jim Everett puts much of that blame on general manager Mickey Loomis. Everett ranks fifth in New Orleans’ record books with 10,622 career passing yards, which he assembled in a 47-game run with the Saints from 1994 to 1996. Now, with his old team scrambling to recruit Derek Carr while being linked to Baker Mayfield and draft prospects like Hendon Hooker, he sees a disturbing lack of vision in New Orleans.
