Chiefs Grade the Marcus Peters situation - Page 7

**DaFace** · 02-26-2018, 01:11 PM

Might as well document our overall reaction.

RINGLEADER · 02-26-2018, 02:43 PM

Have we heard from other Chiefs players yet?

Still a dumb trade.

Call his bluff then. He'd be destroying his own career. Shop him now, and when they only had two shitty offers, tell Peters "Sorry we tried, now get back to work. We'll try again after next season." You really think Peters would hold out after little to no interest from other teams?

Oddly, yours may actually be the stupidest comment in this thread.

Yeah, sure, let's just ignore the fact that the guy was booted from his college team, played out of control last season, fought with his mom, called her a **** and quit on the team.

All perfectly acceptable behavior.

And thanks for the response as to why many, many other teams that could have used his services, that could possibly put the team over the top and in the Super Bowl, passed.

Butt****.

I don't even know how to vote.

I'd prefer he be a decent human being that would mature with age. I seriously enjoyed watching him on the field. I didn't mind seeing his frustration. i get that. But I'm a fan, I have no clue what he's like to work with.

Would I have liked to get more compensation? Sure. Of course. Its really a punch in the gut to go from thinking we are going to have Peters, Fuller, and Berry in the backfield to Fuller, Berry and bunch of question marks.

Still I'll say this. For years we have bitched and moaned about being a team that is too set in its ways. Playing things way too conservatiely. Now we have GM in Veach who is very agressive. Making moves early and often. Some huge victories (Smith) others dampen your spirits (Peters). Still I think if we really want to see this team in the Super Bowl you have to get young and stay focused. I think Peters was a focus issue. Think about it, you are trying to build a super bowl contenders in year 2 or 3 of the Mahomes era. But yeah that pro-bowl ball hawking 25 year old CB should be part of path there but you can't trust him. Can't trust him to keep his head on straight, can't trust him to even be an option for the team when you are ready to compete.

In short I get it, I just don't like it.

What? The guy clearly hasn't changed since his college days so why give him a 4th year to change his behavior?

No this is actually detrimental to Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes II because at camp it's competition and that's how they get better so Tyreek won't be challenged near as much in practice. That's going bite us.

I don't ****ing care as long as he's hauling in INTs and shutting down half the field. It's a football team, not an ethics committee.

They still will have to go at Kendall Fuller and whomever we bring in FA (Amerson and maybe a guy like Fuller) plus the draft

Of course you don't care because you don't have to micromanage him 365 days a year.

This is the same kind of attitude I get from a lot of my friends. They'd sign ISIS members if it meant a Super Bowl.

That's just silly.

BlackHelicopters · 02-26-2018, 02:50 PM

F- is too generous.

Only thing worse is cutting him. That why I graded D.

It's hardly unreasonable to expect the team to manage a star player with a bad attitude when he's posting up NFL leading stats 3 years running. It's part of their job. You don't build a winning NFL team full of all nice guys.

**notorious** · 02-26-2018, 02:57 PM

This is so bad it hurts. It’s probably going to be a LATE 2nd pick at that......

Mecca · 02-26-2018, 02:58 PM

This is my view, I waited so long for this team to draft a QB I have to stick this out but if this was still Alex Smith I doubt I'd even watch next season.
