Carl Peterson attends camp practice for first time since leaving Chiefs

Sunday's Kansas City Chiefs training camp practice brought a sight long overdue. Former president and general manager Carl Peterson was in attendance at camp for the first time since leaving the Chiefs after the 2008 season.

Relations between the Chiefs and Peterson, awful during the years when Scott Pioli was their general manager, have warmed with the arrival of general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid. Peterson called the difference "night and day." He attended a game at Arrowhead Stadium last year for the first time since his resignation or ouster, the fact being it was some of both.

"I didn't have occasion to come back," Peterson said Sunday. "Scott Pioli never invited me. John Dorsey did."

The relationship between Peterson and Dorsey goes way back. Peterson, when he was general manager of the USFL's Philadelphia Stars, drafted Dorsey when he was coming out of college at Connecticut. Dorsey instead signed with the NFL's Green Bay Packers.

So when the Chiefs sent Peterson an invitation to attend Sunday's Alumni Day practice session, he accepted. Peterson lives in New York but happened to be in Kansas City this weekend.

"We were all glad to see him today," chairman Clark Hunt said.

It's nice to see the Chiefs opening their doors to Peterson. He's the most important figure in the team's 55-year history other than franchise founder Lamar Hunt. While the Chiefs never won or even reached a Super Bowl in their 20 seasons with Peterson, he acquired many of the best players in their history. He drafted a couple of eventual Hall of Famers in Derrick Thomas and Will Shields.

Peterson deserves to be next year's entrant into the Chiefs Hall of Fame. Until he's selected, the team's Hall will have a void.

"I'll leave that for another discussion," Hunt said of Peterson's chances of reaching the team's Hall of Fame. "Carl had a tremendous career and a big impact on the Kansas City Chiefs."

Thanks Obama.

DAMMIT, CARL!! :cuss:

Dammit Carl.

He heartily approved seeing an ex-49ers quarterback taking first-team snaps.

Unless he is going to go back in time and order Marty to start Gannon he go ahead and get the hell away from our team.

Ha ha, I still have my Dammit, Carl! shirt from Chiefsplanet. :thumb:

Pioli was a tremendous piece of shit.

It's even worse when you think that he probably tried to cheat like the Pats and still failed horrifically.

I know he made a lot of mistakes in his latter years with the team (Herm), but he was very good for KC for many seasons. Chiefs HOF? Maybe.

Keeping with tradition after all.

Herm should have been offered a job in the FO and not on the sidelines...

ah...yes...he must put a fresh curse upon the 2015 Chiefs...the ritual is done...the sacrifice is yet to come...mwahahahaha! Kali Ma! KALI MAAAAAA!

Fart

It appears a wild card game and first round exit is in the cards...

Scott Pioli has completely taken away any hate I had for Carl.

Peterson drafted Dorsey? Heh. I didn't know that.

I guess that's why they're friends?

Should have drafted Dan Marino & not Todd Blackledge


Dammit Carl :cuss:

The majority here really hate Scott Pioli lol

Come on guys, we have to him some credit.

Polio drafted Houston, Poe and Bailey. He built a third, one third of our defense. He is a big reason why our defense is where it is today.

I agree. And time heals.

He is also 100% of why our offense was $3it and the careers of 6 pro bowlers were wasted...

bricks, don't.....just don't.....

Like anything in life there are pros and cons.

What? Lol

I'm just stating the positives:D

Matt Cassel. **** Scott.

Choke yourself...

1. It very important for a team to show respect to past employees and especially players.
2. I understand that Carl is an important figure in the history of the team but Hall of Fame? Seems like a reach. His longevity is in part a reflection on the loyalty of the Hunt family, not success.

Damn you Carl Peterson!

Are we glad that experiment is over?

This team was cursed before Carl got here.

If there is a curse, it is because of the ground that Arrowhead is built on. :hmmm:

His highs were the 2nd greatest drafting this team has experienced, and 2/3rds of his time was during the advent of free agency. Montana, Allen, DT, Shields, Hasty, Carter, Holmes/LJ, etc.

His lows were a complete inability to judge the QB position making every other positive moot. Highs were very high and lows were very low...

I'm not going to congratulate a reerun for not drooling just because he's a reerun.

Houston was a ****ing gift. It was ABSURD that he was still available to us with that pick in the 3rd round.

The NFL is usually a lot smarter than that. Most teams would have snatched him up much earlier. It's a mystery of nature why he fell to us.

God. **** Scott Pioli. Good pick or not, he picked a ****ing fat **** in Hudson before drafting Houston. And Houston would have been BRILLIANT value at that spot!

Hudson was perhaps the best G/C prospect to ever come out of FSU.

He would have been the perfect C under DV's offense when the C was constantly pulling...

People were screaming for Houston, not Hudson, in the 2nd round.

When the pick was Hudson, most people said, "Oh. Well... sure, okay. We do need a C, and Hudson is pretty good."

Houston played the more important position and you could say was possibly much more talented. The fact that we just bided our time until we picked in the 3rd said a lot about our REAL evaluation of the player, which was, "He smoked pot. Can't do that."

And Pioli was TERRIBLE about this the rest of the time but he clearly maximized his draft value that year.

An all pro pass rusher is always worth more than an all pro C.

I was an FSU homer so I was good with the Hudson pick because I knew he was legit. I'd argue landing Houston in the 3rd was even a bigger steal than Allen in the 6th.

Houston is by far the most rounded pass rusher in the NFL. He's a top 5 pass rusher while having no true weakness in any other area as an OLB...

He tried once, he had the hidden wire in the candy wrapper, but no one picked it up..

The curse is lifted fellas

Hopefully he doesn't give Dorsey advice on how to get QB's......Oh wait, nevermind

He lived off Marty his entire tenure here and should die of gonnorAIDS and rot in hell

Why do they insist on calling him "Chairman" Clark Hunt. Every time I read/hear that all I can think of is China and Chairman Mao....

Peterson saved football in Kansas City he is franchise HOF worthy

He and Marty did, I absolutely agree. Arrowhead came alive and had the mystique while they were here.

Carl was an asshole, but he was our asshole.

Pioli was just some **** who took a shit on Arrowhead and tried to claim it didn't stink.

Really? His last draft produced Charles, Carr, Flowers, Albert. That's ignoring guys like Dorsey; he was a disappointment but at least a guy. Granted we had a lot of pics that year.. Still decent results.

"I always fancied some San Francisco trash myself"-was overheard at least one time in said visit.

Four pages and no "print 'em" or "to the ship". You guys are getting soft.

****in' A right. Pioli is a shit stain on Clark's underwear.

Isotoner gloves FTW.

Sooooo why do people hate him again?

Looks like the kid I bought weed from in high school.

I have a five year plan.......**** you Carl...

Chiefs HOF worthy
 

if Jack Steadman gets in(2005), King Carl is a shoe-in.

Johnny

I remember the day he left like it was yesterday and the greatest day every.

DING DONG THE KIND IS DEAD

That and the Cassel injury.. good times to be a Kc fan.

He's calling David Hasselhoff to tell him he's a pussy.

GoChiefs

Insert Carl fart video.

Because that is what he is...he is the majority owner but by only 1%...there are 5 total owners

Yeah, if there was one constant in the universe from this places inception until 2009 was that Carl was the whipping boy and center of everything 'failure' that was KC Chiefs. I certainly enjoyed poking the resident genious' with a stick with a rather familiar refrain...'ok, who should they get'.

Ironically, CP got exactly who they wanted. After that episode, it's unlikely there will be another GM lynch mob around here any time soon.

Peterson brought on the decade when the Chiefs were the hottest thing going. He is lucky there ain't shit in this town to do other than sports.

pretty much this

Dear Greatest Fans in the NFL:

Hi, It's me, your former unquestionably supreme and fearless leader, former longest tenured General Manager in Professional Sports, The King, Carl "Delano" Peterson. You may call me either "King Carl" or "Mister Peterson" whichever you prefer.

Yes, I made the journey up to Missouri Western in St. Joseph. Why? Because much like Bob Ford's loyalty to Jesse James, I am loyal to John Dorsey. I respect the job he is doing and would never assume to be considered a threat to John, should he happen to falter, and Clark would need to find a suitable qualified replacement. I just wanted to get re-familiarized with the current crop of talent in the Chiefs stable.

Plus, I really like black leather Stetson Hats, which I can get in St. Joseph, and I enjoy a nice Cherry Mash, which I also buy in St. Joseph. Sometimes I take a soak in my jacuzzi wearing only my black leather Stetson hat, with a bottle of Dick Vermeil wine, and a cherry mash. Life in my New York Penthouse suite can be quite enjoyable.

I wanted to congratulate Dorsey on finding another San Fran QB castoff to lead a KC offense. As you know, this was my personal specialty. I brought in four of them, and look how successful that was! I have no doubt that unless the Chiefs face Buffalo, or Denver, or Indianapolis, or Miami, the team will do just fine in their next playoff appearance.

And if you fans want to put me up on the Chiefs Ring of Honor, or build a statue of me, or name the stadium after me, or do all three, I suppose I'd allow for that. Quite Frankly, if Jack Steadman can be in the Ring of Honor, anything is possible. I mean that sincerely.

Just remember, a Chiefs fan is born every minute.

You are, and continue to be, the best fans in the NFL.

Your Pal,
Carl "Delano" Peterson
Formerly LTGMIPS

You sorely underestimate the power of CP.

LMAO
