Maybe so, but I have a hard time calling a GM "great" when that GM has an empty trophy case.

Funny thing is he actually started with the Chiefs as a scout. The Chiefs are actually listed on his HOF bio. http://www.profootballhof.com/hof/me...Id=330&tab=Bio |

Mother**** Carl, "I stayed 10 years too late" Peterson.
And that's the end of that story.

Carl Peterson was extremely successful in KC in his first ten years, which yielded 9 out of 10 winning seasons and an AFC Championship appearance. He selected several Hall of Fame players and had a good roster each year.
Unfortunately after Marty resigned, instead of seeking out the best possible head coaching candidate to replace him, he turned to someone he was familiar with, a friend, instead. This move, along with hiring other friends like Vermiel and Edwards, spelled doom for this franchise. Any tension or differing viewpoints were gone. The draft and free agent acquisitions were poor (until 2008 when Herm and Kuharich wrested personnel decisions from him). For all of the enjoyment and excitement his first ten years brought, the second ten were pretty much awful. Six out of ten losing seasons, some of those which were dreadful to watch. |
