****ing up on Peters doesn't mean they have no idea how to handle troubled players, but you could say they bungled this particular situation.

We'll agree to disagree.

The Chiefs took the bargain boon in Peters, knowing why they were getting a steal. Marcus didn't get to choose the Chiefs.

Does that excuse Peters from responsibility? No, not at all. But the Chiefs were the party to initiate the relationship and were in charge, and they bungled it. Shit happens

The Chiefs will be left picking up the pieces while Peters will likely get exactly what he wants.

Are you a manager of any sort? Have you ever run a department of people? If so, you'd know that some people are easy to manage, do their job, don't make a fuss and others are just unmanageable.

That's the case here: Peters clearly became too much to manage. The Chiefs franchise can't play babysitter to one player when there's 52 others on the Active Roster and another 10 players on the Practice Squad.

How to distribute the blame is debatable and hell neither of us know exactly how to.

That's why I'm guessing it's going to be the same with the Rams. Unless just being in LA was the trick.

The Rams apparently believe that if anyone can keep Peters in line, it's Wade Phillips.

We'll know in a few years whether that's true or not.

I have a feeling that since Oakland's about a 45 minute flight from LAX and Burbank, Peters will feel more comfortable playing close to home.

Plus, there won't be anyone calling him out for kneeling and he'll get a pass, for at least a while, if he plays well but still yields a few Unsportsmanlike Penalties.

If he couldn't get through to Marcus Peters, he's truly a reprehensible individual.

Then the following week he had the meltdown @ the jets when he basically tried to eject himself from the game and they had to pull him out of the shower to return to the field. Then he had the confrontation in the tunnel with his mom afterward.

It’ll be fine for a couple of years...

After that, then we’ll see. Wade can’t coach forever either.

Funny, that worked with Tyreek Hill but not Peters.

It worked with Chris Jones (when healthy) but not Peters.

It worked with Travis Kelce, who was suspended for a year in college, causing him to drop to the 3rd round, but not with Peters.

I wonder why?
