Oh Carl (in today's KC Star)...
Quote:
Peterson defended his strategy of acquiring veteran quarterbacks as opposed to drafting one in the first round.
“I always felt that unless you had a Top 10 pick in the draft, the drafting of quarterbacks is really a crapshoot,” he said. “The stats even show that a majority of first-round draft choices fail. I came to the conclusion that if I’m going to waste a first-round draft choice, I’m going to do it on a veteran player who has had playoff experience and playoff success.
“To get a ‘franchise’ quarterback, that’s awfully hard to do. You’ve got to be picking in the Top 10, and he’s got to be pretty special, and we’ve seen some of those, including the young quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, with the Chiefs today.”
