The Peters trade is difficult for fans, which is understandable. As I've stated countless times, the move made this offseason were not for the 2018 season, but two years from now. They got something for Peters before he walked. Fine. Does that suck? Yeah. But while we fans are not really into transitional years, that's what 2018 is. Get ready for shootouts. We have an offense what can do its part, but yeah the defense has some real holes.

Next year we will have a first round pick, probably in the 15-25 selection range. We also will get another 2nd rounder for Peters. Get ready for some fatties and cornerbacks!

Anyone who thinks this team is making a deep run into the playoffs this year is just setting themselves up for disappointment. Now that doesn't mean I don't think they can win the division or even make the playoffs as a wildcard - in fact I expect them in the playoffs, which would be an amazing season for our new young QB.

You don't think the Chiefs would have received a comp pick for Peters?

They would have had him for this year and next year if they picked up his 5th year option.

Chiefs Fan wants a corner who can tackle. Fortunately for them, that's exactly what we have now, because they sure as hell aren't covering or creating turnovers. The Bears game was all about corners who tackle.

Yeah, we got guys that are sure tacklers now.

Wouldn't breaking up passes and covering people be pros?

I noticed you didn't use the word "tackle" in there, so that would be a hard no.

Then put that in the con list. Doesn't change the fact that he covered routes and defended balls, even beyond intercepting them, well.

Well, yeah, if you like a defense that can stop the pass in a passing league.

We want tacklers, though.

Oh I see what you were doing there.

Bet not but hope so. Never should have signed that turd.

Lol It’s hilarious how quickly Chiefs fans turned on Peters.

The guy was a headcase and probably not good for the locker room in the end, but anybody saying that he wasn’t great on the field is a fool. I couldn’t care less about tackling.

Peters was great but I'm thinking about those stats that he didn't actually correlate to wins.

I don't care about the anthem and frankly I don't care about the insubordination. I do, however, care about the tackling.

Peters (by far) created more turnovers than any player at S or CB since he was drafted. By a WIDE margin.

He also gave up when beaten, wouldn't tackle, and was "an issue" in the locker room.

Grade that out however you want...

I do care about the anthem but this thread isn't the place.

If he disagreed with me on that stance I could (and did) live with that. I didn't want him traded.

Reid/Veach did...
