He needs a leader, not to be one.

Disagree. Berry was available. He didn't help. Berry seems less of a vocal, rah rah leader since he beat cancer. More a lead by example type now. Perspective. Not mad at him.

Because Peters became a source of controversy last season when first-year Washington coach Chris Petersen kicked him off the team after a series of behavioral issues, including head-butting an opponent, a sideline tantrum and, finally, arguing with an assistant coach.

He also failed a drug test for smoking marijuana in 2011, his redshirt freshman season. And who knows what else, for that matter?

“It's never one thing. We're not going to dismiss a guy because it's one thing," Petersen said, according to the Seattle Times. "That’s not what we're in this business (to be) about. But when you feel like it just can't work, you gotta do what you've gotta do.”

So Petersen did what he had to do, which didn’t prevent Dorsey and Reid from doing what they believed they had to: picking the player many draftniks believed was among the best handful of cornerbacks in the draft …

Sound familiar?

Wow yes it does

Fuller/Jones/Ragland and maybe Kpassagnon/Eligwe too

Those are the young guys we have to build around on defense. Looked so much better with Peters, but with the ability to focus on d for the next two offseasons, we could do this. I’m
over it and it’s time to move on.

Plus you don't someone like Peters ****ing it all up by being an asshole.

This is a pretty good group with a LOT of potential. Hopefully we can add a guy or two this year and another one or 2 next year to really make it great.

The signs were there but Dorsey chose to draft him anyway.

And Ballard was the guy that flew to Oakland and spent time there. He gave the thumbs up.

LMAO

We’re also seeing now why Ballard and Dorsey aren’t here.

So the Chiefs got an advance on the compensation pick they'd be owed once he walked in Free agency.

It's not an ideal situation but it's the one they're in regardless.

He spent one day in Oakland. One day.

Yeah, theres some decent potential on the D but as of right now, they need to add a **** load to it.

The way they explained it on 810 was that he was the one that did it though and gave the go ahead. So that’s why I’ve brought him up.

Also, I'm not seeing where Dorsey or Reid said "They could handle Peters". Nowhere.

But I did find this:

http://www.chiefs.com/news/article-2...1-7c8b7824f623

REID: “I’ve had a little bit of success with that. DeSean Jackson fell in the draft and turned out to be pretty good. Over my time, I’ve had a few of those. But everybody is different; everybody has their own little thing. This isn’t a malicious kid by any means at all, he’s highly competitive. We think we have it narrowed down to highly competitive and he just needs to learn to control that. That’s what it is and if you look at my track record and Dorsey’s track record, we normally aren’t going to bring somebody in that’s a bad person. We normally see it being okay through the studying of the player and the person.

That’s how we felt with this; we thought he could control it.”

Mahomes is ready to lead the Texas Tech of the NFL.

Umm...Eric Berry is not much else??
