I don't think he's been here long enough to evaluate. As I've said and proven many times in-depth, Carl Peterson ****ed up the team big time through 7 years of gross mismanagement when Lamar Hunt was owner. I don't think it's Hunt's fault that he inherited a huge mess.
Whenever I hear him talk about Peterson, I sort of sense that he's looking really forward to him leaving. I'd have to think he doesn't want to fire him only because he knows that Peterson will be leaving town without a fight in a year anyway.
I hope anyway. I think we'll truly know what Hunt's made of in one year... based on whether he ends up extending Peterson's contract (which I don't think he will) and who he chooses to be his GM. Only then will this team truly be his.
And we'll learn if he's like his Dad or not by if he chooses Terry Bradway to be GM, or as I call him, Carl Peterson Lite. I really, really, really hope for everyone's sake that he won't be that idiotic. But I"m very concerned that he will, playing the same reeruned loyalty/croney card the Chiefs have used for years.
