I don't understand why people need to constantly try and convince themselves Peters sucks. He doesn't. He's pretty good when he has a mentor to keep him in check (Berry, now Thomas) and when things are going well for his team. I also don't understand why so many people are still furious about his departure.
He's not a leader and he's not a shut down corner, but he does make big plays and is decent in coverage. He's getting a contract worth less per season than Trumaine Johnson and Josh Norman, and the same as Xavier Rhodes and Kyle Fuller and that doesn't include the inflation that will certainly occur this off-season at the CB position. He's not setting the market or breaking the bank.
Corners are hard to find. He's a pretty good one who makes a lot of splash plays. He was here and now he's not, and we got a couple seasons of pretty good play and some nice draft picks for him when we moved on. Our defense is much better now and his loss is barely noticeable.
The end. Everyone should move on.
