View Full Version : Say what you want about Peterson but he did a good job this offseason

Taking away the draft look at the three trades he's made


Not one of these guys fit into our plans


Tynes: for a conditional 7th or 7th pick?

conclusion: Well I don't know about you but while he had his good kicks alot of the time he went up there I had my fingers crossed. 7th pick not great but we got something for a guy we were probably gonna cut anyways.

Dante Hall: for a swap of 5ths in 2007 draft

conclusion: I love to remember the X factor and what he meant to this team but he hasn't been that in two years I think he's lost a step. Rams over pay for him cause they need a returner. I think we got something for a guy i'm not sure would have survived roster cuts.

Trent Green: for conditional 5th round could be 4th in 2008 draft

conclusion: I take nothing away from what he meant to this franchise but let's be honest is he the same pro bowl qb? He had problems behind our line miami's is worse. Even after him bitchn and moanin the last several weeks I still like the guy. Did carl trade a pro bowl caliber qb for a 5th? Did you see him in that indy game he has happy feet he's scared to stand in the pocket. I think we unloaded an over the hill qb who is on the down side of his career. I feel we took the dolphins for a ride. I now hope green can fool them just enough to get the required snaps for the 4th.

So i have been critical of Carl Peterson in the past like the years we needed a wr did nothing, needed a D and did nothing, and let donnie Edwards, one of my favorite players, walk; He came through this offseason.

So i gues the damn it Carl is threw at least till next offseason LOL :)

Hall was traded for a 5th and a swap of 3rds (in our favour)

... and don't forget about Ryan Sims for a conditional pick.

I'm sure this makes you even happier about CP.

Carl Peterson is a pillowbiter.

He appears to have two consecutive good offseasons, but that doen't diminish the fact that he has failed to get this team a Lombadi Trophy in 18, going on 19 years.

Yay Carl!

You did a good ****in' job this offseason.

Now hurry your ass up and retire already.

I'd like to see the Chiefs in the SB again before I die.

He didn't waste any time on getting a tackle to replace Black.

He's done a fine job with the past couple of drafts- a departure from his past drafts.

He's handled the Green trade beautifully.

He scored on a deal with Dante Hall who is now past his prime.

He got something for nothing on a kicker that could've easily been cut. The only thing I don't like about this, is that there's no competition in the position now.

He got something for a highly over-rated Sims. Wasn't it a conditional 5th round pick?

And I'm now sold on Herm Edwards. I wasn't crazy about Herm when CP stole him from the Jets, but you have to like what they've been doing with the team lately. He'll learn to coach the game better as he continues to improve on game-day, but aside from that- he's done a remarkable job off the field.

For the first time in a long time, I think the Chiefs have a very bright future- and that future is only a couple of years from being not only true contenders, but repeat contenders.

The trades of Hall and Green were both stupid IMO.

I really don't think Croyle can play and Green could've been a productive starter for 2 more years providing a stop-gap to find someone else in the draft. Huard had good numbers last year but most of those were against the NFC west so may have been a fluke.

Hall hasn't lost anything athletically. His blocking sucks ad teams prepare for him better but he's still good for a couple of touchdowns per year and that's a lot more then your gonna get out of any 5th round pick. Now this team doesn't have a punt returner.

I do believe that CP does deserve a lot of credit. But one thing you must take into account is the fact that the last two drafts also had Herm involved in them. I think sometimes he receives too much flak from us as well. If you look at the Jets team, they were pretty young and he seems to have a knack for finding a good young player with the 5-7 round picks. So maybe, just maybe it is more Herm than Carl. But I am happy either way.

Hall may not have lost anything, but if the blocking is not there, run forward and get what you can get. I got so tired of seeing all that dancing and no positive yards. I think Webb will be fine with his straight ahead style.

How do you know he cant play??? Dont we at least have to give him the chance to fail first???

I for once pray that the Chiefs are finally going to give a young QB a chance to start and develop. Even if we take our lumps for a year or two while he grows, at least we would be building for something instead of staying stagnant.

Your right CP has has some big successes.... Without Montana in KC, Peterson has an impressive 0-9 playoff record with the Chiefs.. 3 of thost teams were 13-3 and HFA...

Yeah Carl is a great success story for the Chiefs... ROFL

Yours is one of the dumbest posts I've read to date!
You don't think Croyle can play? Did you follow the SEC at all, or did you see enough of Brodie in the preseason last year to make this assessment, either way obviously you know more than Herm.
2 more years of Trent..... then what? Yeah Trent looked good vs. Indy last year didn't he. but when we need a new qb in two years according to you will there be someone there better than Croyle?

Hall has lost a step if not 2, but that would actually help if he was still a Chief because IMO if he lost two steps backwards we would have better field position (start at the 7 instead of the 5).

NFC west doesn't have NFL players? Why is it a fluke because it's in a different division?

Like I said before guys I love and respect what green did for this team while he was here, but we needed to move on. I am a long time Bama fan born there and basically born a fan of that team. Remember when DT was a freshman on special teams.

Croyle was from an option high school he didn't really throw that much ran around alot cause they had a great rb. When he got to alabama they also didn't really throw the ball that much. Then Mike Shula came and with that a major emphasis on throwing the ball. He developed his arm strength and his accuracy while at Bama.

Now a qb with a great arm and great measurables is easy to find they practically grow on trees in the NFL. But there is something you can't judge and that is heart, determination, and leadership ability. His senior season at Bama was his best he took the team I think to only two or three losses all season. Frankly it wasn't that talented of a team on offense. But he lead them in last second come from behind wins.

The next year after we drafted him that same team came back and the offense was horrible. They won because they believed in their leader brodie Croyle.

Yes chief fans we are gonna lose more than we win probably this year, unless the D is awesome, with Croyle at the helm. But as the season goes and he gets better and we do as well we will be happy we made this move. Because Croyle has the one thing that can't be measured at the Draft combine. That is the heart and drive to lead his team to victory.

If Brodie can beet out Huard in pre season then he would have beetn out Trent aswell Huard was better that Trent last year. It's all good now and I am getting exited about this year mostly for our D that has been missing for the last 5-6 years. Peterson does a good job at listening to the coaches and gitting them the players that they want, Gunther gave him a wish list for his D and Carl got the players he wanted. Not all the player have lived up to what was expected of them (K. Bell) but our D sure turned things around and it is only to get better with Herm and Gunther. We've had sollid teams year in and year out that have been competitive with any team on any given sunday and I applaud Peterson with his efforts in trying to bring us a Championship.
