The Chiefs will be paying for Peterson’s miscalculation for a long time.

I think i just found my new signature.

Absolutely 100% dead on.

Honestly, those moves were made more for "PR" reasons than anything else. Id be willing to bet Carl did know the end was near but had to make those moves to help keep butts in the seats.

Can you imagine the reaction if Carl would have gotton rid of those two guys after 2006?

Good point. At least Carl signed them to cheap deals...comparatively...

I'm glad we have Mecca or there would be no knowledge here at all. God bless you Mecca for saving us from the non-knowledgeable dooms you ****ing genious.

All Hail Mecca!!!

You can give mecca shit, but the fact is, there's a lot of people here that overvalue the TE and RB position.

and undervalue the QB position still. Amazing!

From what little I know about the situation TG is far from a fan smoocher when you ask him for an autograph or a handshake but he is one of the best to play the game at his position and IMHO deserves a shot a title. That's what these guys stayed in shape and out of trouble for their whole lives and there is only so big of a window.

If he walks away I don't blame him one bit.

I wouldn't want to hang my future on Carl and his "I hire only friends, losers or not" philosophy.

It's been said 2 million times but Ill say it again, Carl had MORE than his fair chance and proven what he can do with an NFL team and it's "**** you carl" territory.

Reap the whirlwind Peterson. You should have walked down the isle with Vermeil but your a grown man and you chose not to.

Reap it.

We should all feel sorry for him sitting on a couple million from our dollars that he never delivered.

I think Mecca gives great insight but it's just not the time to be shoving "i told you so" down fans throats.

Carl Peterson has absolutely dropped the ball on this whole rebuilding project big time. He wanted to go out on a semi high note, but he's just dropping further and further down the well.

Yep. And the first sign of that was hiring Herm ****ing Edwards to help him. What a ****ing idiot. ROFL

Yep - and Carl and Herm are such dumb ****s, they're "rebuilding" (slipping into oblivion) without a franchise QB. Brodie Croyle...ROFL
