This would have happened in KC, eventually, and his trade worth would have been way lower. Add in that a lot of those coaches likely saw the same things on tape and weren't convinced his stats were due to dominance, but instead were due to opportunism at the expense of assignment-sound football.

Few of them were personnel related.
Safety play was a lot better then and that allows him more help. And we lined up some weaker players on the other side. So they just went away from Peters. But LA had Talib so then it became necessary to challenge Peters. And he got exposed.
