Based on previous history, why would anyone have believed CP? - Page 3

I'm seeing an awful lot of disappointment and anger but I have to ask based on his multiple five year plans and history in KC why would ANYONE get their hopes up that he would deliver on a promise or keep his word?

I'm sorry to see so many unhappy folks but you have to admit if you believed Carl Peterson then you set yourself up for some MAJOR disappointment. And there is no reason to believe it will be any different in the future as long as he's here.

This question from a Raiders Al Davis fan?

I think there is no need to bother answering.

I'm no fan of Al Davis anymore than I am Carl Peterson. I will admit he seems (perception) to make player moves more efficiently than does Carl but he has LOTS of empty seats, his coaching has been a carousel, and his teams haven't been winning much the past two seasons...

they both suck.

Does this surprise you? To her this is the equivalent to a US Soldier being KIA. She gets so excited a dog can smell her from a mile away.

Nah, it's old news. Carl fuggs up and pizzes off the fans who will still show up en masse in August and Lamar's pockets get bigger.

It's almost as predictable as the sun rising in the East and setting in the West.

Willie Roaf
Dante Hall
Scott Fujita
Jarred Allen (so far, at least)
Trent Green
Re-signing Priest and Tony
Brian Waters
Casey Weigman
Larry Johnson (who proved he can play last year)
Jason Dunn

Granted, this doesn't mean I want the guy to hang around. But let's not totally discount the fact that, with DV's help, they've build a pretty damned good offense.
