Yes, actually he was. He was a really ****ing good GM, but he should have been fired after the '98 season.
Pioli isn't worthy of drying the sweat from '93 Peterson's nut sack. |

Peterson built Arrowhead, drafted a few HOFers, and turned the Chiefs into one of the best franchises of the 90s; he was really ****ing good at his job, but he needed to leave after '98. |

Credit given where due. Calling him a great GM for that isnt true when he only won 3 playoff games in 20 years and never drafted a franchise quarterback the whole time. Agree to disagree. |

I didn't have a problem with him until he picked Grbac over Gannon and started churning out the Rufus columns. He was great until the NFL came up with newfangled rules like free agency and salary cap.

No. This is as bad as the push to have Marty come back.
We need to remember there were days when we all were calling for their heads just as much as we are Pioli and RAC now. Short memories.

No one that I knew of was calling for Marty's head, even after the 1998 season.

If '98 wasn't the year, it sure as hell was when Gun was fired, but that would have required proactive ownership. |

I also understand why he fired Gunther when Vermeil, his best friend and mentor, decided he wanted to coach again. But the bottom line, to me, is that Carl should have left when Vermeil called it quits. He seriously tarnished his reputation by not leaving and hiring Herm. If he had left after the 2005, I'm sure his tenure would be looked upon far more favorably. |

Words.....there are none.
Pioli is an unmittigated disaster when Carl freaking Peterson blasts you like that. |

Yeah, it's nice and nostalgic that Peterson and Lamar cared about the fans so much.
Really can't say this makes me pine for him in spite of Pioli's shit hole he's constructed. |
