Sounds like bullshit. That better not be the reason.

Marcus is a turnover machine. Fact.

He plays when he wanted to play. He's been like that since college and probably before.

This pretty much sums it up IMO. The play he made in the playoff game had me thrilled, then he turns around did the Ole thing again when the game was on the line.

Normally I think Mellinger is good but this is a knee jerk rant that conspicuously ignores all the stories about Peters that he has certainly heard.

Sam ****ed up his own big story within the first 4 paragraphs

'Except with Peters, they failed to do it, apparently allowing the situation to become so untenable they traded him without a strong market of interest.

Huh, say wha?... is Sam telling me the 'market of interest' for a young, 2 time All-Pro on his first contract was just kinda meh, in spite of the myriad of teams desperately needing a defensive playmaker of Peters caliber?

So what does that tell everyone?

That the Kansas City Chiefs, and their head coach who was willing to make Michael Vick his starting QB, with great success I might add, are nothing more than a bunch of peabrained Hee-Haw corneaters unwilling to accomodate an outsized black personality?

Give me a ****ing break, lulz

You can bet your ass NO ONE in the Chiefs top echelon wanted to get rid of this kid, but he had made it so impossible to bear that it soon became the only move worth making... you go ahead and gnash your teeth, as for me and this new era of unparalleled excitement?

**** Marcus, bring on some Money

You mean the play where Zombo got exposed for the talented piece of crap he is. I heard he’s a great guy though.

Who the **** is talking about Zombo? That is whole different issue. I was talking about Peters, stepping out of the way of tackling.

Go back and read the game thread. I was raving about Peters, then, well ****, that again. The team had twin 'Ole corners in Peters and Revis.

Good, championship caliber defenses have 11 tacklers

KC didn't

(And yes, Deion was a better tackler than Peters)

I got off the trade Marcus bandwagon the last couple of games of the season but I was fully on board for a long time. It's one thing to be bad at something, it's quite another to not even attempt to do it. And seeing as how he kept doing it game after game, it's clear he wasn't listening to coaches which is the biggest issue.

And it's not like Reid is a 0 tolerance guy. For this to happen, he must have been at his wits end about Peters behavior in front and behind the scenes.

I could not be happier to see King slaying you crybabies, see... it not a race thing at all, its all about the football

If there wasn’t a strong market of interest for a pro bowl shutdown corner, that tells you something in itself.

It sucks that Reid and Veach had to negotiate from a position of weakness, but they were put there by the player being a malcontent. Not really their fault.

A malcontent with still 2 years of control. Oh the horror.

I make Marcus play out his rookie contract and than let him test free agency.

Control what? you seriously think someone can control Marcus Peters?

He already has enough money to tell everyone to get bent should he choose to do so... 'doesnt matter, we have him under contract!'

Are you ****ing serious man, just how naive ARE you?... that doesnt mean DICK with a guy like him, we'd only be hanging onto a hot girlfriend looking to **** us over every chance she got because the sex was hot

The Hunts are so pathetic.
