Carl Peterson attends camp practice for first time since leaving Chiefs
http://espn.go.com/blog/kansas-city-...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." |

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! |

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

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." |

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...

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....

Once I realized Carl was a much better business person than that Scott guy - I've found it harder to hate him. Carl - I will follow you.

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.
