Mellinger: Marcus Peters is gone. The Chiefs have some explaining to do.

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

I’m not saying I would have offered him a max contract. But there was absolutely no reason to trade him on his rookie contract. I believe the Chiefs had the leverage in this situation and they caved because the owner didn’t want the headache.

Marcus could have either played with max effort or hurt his market value by playing half assed.

Him playing half assed could cost us games. The way he approached stopping ball carriers was one of the most frustrating things I can remember seeing. 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.

Randy Moss is comparable. Was it worth putting up with his bs antics.

GREAT comparison. Who even knows what he did after that trade?

Lol so Marcus Peters is one of the top 2 corners in league history? They're not comparable at all.

He is one of the leagues best at creating turnovers. How do you suppose we replace that?

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

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.

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)
