KC Star: This could be Peterson’s last stand with Chiefs
This is a must-read piece for any number of reasons. Mainly for the fact that it clearly explains the Herm vs. Carl division in the organization, which some people here still don't think actually exists.
But there's also some great quotes, like Dick Vermeil saying Carl would get another GM job within a week if the Chiefs fired him. And Pat Bolen of all people on Earth talking about heads rolling, like he'd know anything about that. http://www.kansascity.com/sports/story/761067.html Quote:

I didn't read the article but here's the gist:
CP has had success in his 20 year reign over Kansas City but as he's grown older, so have the Chiefs. And as he's grown older, it's become more and more difficult for him to watch the Chiefs lose. So he brought in Herm Edwards to quickly rebuild, though that isn't going so smoothly. He hopes to oversee a resurgeance in the Chiefs and lead to the Super Bowl before he retires. Am I right or wrong? Oh yeah. He's also an arrogant prick from time to time. |

But then again, why should I have to do the reading for you. Figure it out yourself. |

Its nothing you havent heard or read before. CP is on his last leg and he denies it or hes in serious denial. Thats the jist of it. As usual he comes off like an arrogant prick.

If being a playoff contender this season is a deciding factor he should be packing his bags right now.

I think the only way to get Clarks attention are a half empty stadium and local blackouts.

Probably, although if this team is really as bad as it might be, like #1 pick bad it looks horrendous to the fans and every other team in the league to bring everyone back after that.

Great read.
I can't believe it, but Clark is going to get rid of his ass after this year, because we sure aren't going to the playoffs. After reading this I feel better about the future of the Chiefs and where Clark is wanting to go with them, because the future doesn't have Carl in it.

Clark is making it a lose-lose situation on purpose for Carl. Clark obviously thinks Carl's time is up, and he's just letting him burn but make a paycheck this last season.

And another thing, please let that future be a Herm-less future. He's not the answer either. Maybe if it was 1956, but it's not.

If Peterson retired tomorrow it would still be years too late. Instead of marching off into the sunset with Dick Vermeil and leaving behind a good name for himself he's probably going to be run out of town by angry fans with pitchforks and torches.
Deservedly so. |
