I didn't care...ever.
Like I said - I'd have moved heaven and earth to try to make that attitude work.
Here's the ONE caveat I'd add though - and this is a BIIIIIIIIG one. Patrick Mahomes is a soft-spoken, fairly thoughtful product of an affluent upbringing and a white momma.
We've seen Peters and his boy Marshawn in occasional moments of candor. They are 'Compton' through and through. There is very little question in my mind that if Peters is still in that lockerroom, he'd would be sowing an undercurrent similar to what guys like Michael Bennett did in Seattle with Russell Wilson. I want no part of hushed corners of that lockeroom calling Mahomes 'Snowflake' when he's not around.
If I'm Veach, I sit down with Andy and ask him who in that room he really, truly trusts. And I'd have Reid sit down with one or two of those guys (ideally Houston and Berry; the people who always seemed to have Peters' ear) and see if you can get a straight answer from them. "Gentlemen, if this is to be Pat's team, is Marcus Peters gonna be calling him a house negro everytime his back is turned? Are we gonna end up a some of these cliques that brought down the Seahawks?"
And from some of the things we heard from Houston in camp, I kinda get the impression that if that conversation were to be had...Houston would've said 'yeah, we probably need him outta here...'
