Probably just misfortune that they never won a SB.

I could live w/ Peterson vs VC.

What 10 years are you talking about?

Not that I want Carl Petersen as our GM, because I do not. I would want someone younger.
But from 1989-1997 KC was consistently a good team. Something Vinny and Snyder have not done in Washington.

Sure, they had a decent run a decade ago. But I don't know what made them "the model franchise" or one of the top 5 in the NFL

During that period of time during Marty's tenure as Head Coach KC went 104-65-1, that is a strong accomplishment for any team.
During that time they were a top 5 team.
Being a winner for many years is a major accomplishment. While it does not come close to winning a super bowl, you have to give Carp Peterson credit for hiring the coaches and drafting the players that made up that team.

That's a pretty good run. I would venture to say that record is probably top 5 in the nfl during that period. Granted, no SB's but give him some credit.

Not that i would want Peterson, but it amazes me some would be so quick to say no, yet defend VC and his 8 year track record here.

Exactly my point.
I like that...VC. Varmint Cong. Licensed to kill gophers.

Regardless of what Vinny has done, I'm just not all that impressed with what Peterson did in his 20 years in KC. One AFC Championship appearance? To me that's pretty easy to say no to.

I can see that. I would tend to chalk the one AFC Championship a bit of bad luck.

CP put the talent in place and they had talent generally, and it's up to the players and coaches to win. For whatever reason, they didn't. They cruised thru the reg season and blew it in the playoffs every year.

Again, i don't want CP, I'd prefer someone younger like a Thomas Demitroff. I actually don't know his age but am assuming he's under 50.

Didn't the Falcons just hire Demitroff?

Over the course of 20 years that's a lot of bad luck.
