Carl Peterson Still Sucks - Page 2

hawkchief · 01-01-2007, 04:22 PM

The only negative about sneaking into the playoffs is the possibility that it could lead to Peterson getting newfound support in his bumbling quest to ruin the franchise. As Chiefs fans (some of us real), we need to continue to push for his ouster.

Carl has had his chance, and even a brief playoff run this year should not detract from the reality that the Chiefs need new direction, specifically in personnel acquisitions through the draft and Free Agency - - and soon. Peterson has had his chance, and now it's time for someone else to take the reins. If Clark feels the need to keep him on in a reduced role, so be it, but the game has passed him by.

The future of the organization looks murky, at best, and there is absolutley no positive momentum that Carl bring for the team to build on. Thanks Carl, for driving the ticket prices up into the upper third of the league and keeping the Hunts financially happy, but unless we can find lightning in a bottle, and go deep into the playoffs, you need to go.

That is all.

I'm happy we're in the playoffs and everything but we will never get back to the big game with peterson at the helm.

A GM's job is to put your team in a position to make the playoffs year in and year out. Carl Peterson has done that.. I know you all need a scapegoat, and with all the media channels telling you how to think it's easy for everybody to quickly point fingers at Carl. I think you fail to recall how Carl helped build this franchise from a doormat into a great organization that wins alot of games. Carl has got this team to the playoffs about half the time since he has became GM. To ask to go to the playoffs more than this for any team is almost impossible in the long term.
---------------
Dating back to ‘77, teams whose personnel operations have been overseen by Peterson own a combined regular season record of 249-153-2 (.619). During that 25-season span, his teams have produced 19 winning records and have made the playoffs 15 times. During Peterson’s tenure, Kansas City has finished first or second in the AFC West 12 times, made eight playoff appearances, won four AFC West titles and reached the only AFC Championship Game in team history. Those are dramatic numbers when you consider that in the 17 seasons prior to Peterson’s arrival, the Chiefs made just one playoff appearance and enjoyed just four winning years.

The media didn't tell me how to think.

I live in California, and have lived here since '82.

The media here doesn't care one iota about Carl.

My opinion of Carl began to take shape when he hired Marty.
It continued to take on a negative shape hen the Chiefs failed to advance in the playoffs consistently, with the exception of the Joe Montana '93 Chiefs, with Marty at the helm.

It only solidified when he hired Gunt, and Dick, and Hermie.

His failure to produce a championship, or a complete team in 17 years, going on 18 yearsis unacceptable.

Yeah, the Chiefs have been to the playoffs in half of those seasons, and they have almost always been abject failures when they've gotten there.

And most of those appearences were 9 years ago and more.

I don't think that I'm being unreasonable as a fan to expect more than just regular season success and playoff failure in 18 years of a management regime.

You go ahead and enjoy the mediocrity.

I'm going to bitch until changes are made.
