Chiefs rewatch: Marcus Peters’ emotions, Alex Smith’s risks and problems up the gut

Cornerback Marcus Peters is an emotional fellow, for better and worse, and most of his time with the Chiefs it’s been better.

He is consumed by football in the purest sense, obsessed with the game both physically and mentally, the kind of commitment to the cause that made the Chiefs accept what others viewed as character flaws in the draft.

You cannot separate the good and the bad. It is part of the same package. Whatever it’s worth, over the past 14 months or so, I’ve come to enjoy even the bad parts. If it’s a character flaw, it’s an admirable one: he loves football so much that it sometimes gets in the way.
