Stephen St. John: Issues between Mahomes and Peters
 

On 810 this morning SSJ was talking about the Rams and Peters, when he dropped a bombshell that was new to me. Talked about how in addition to all of his other issues, Peters had a problem with Mahomes. He didn’t cite first hand info, but just said that was the vibe that Chadiha and others covering the team had conveyed. It matches up with the trash talk from Peters after he left, praising Alex and predicting turnovers when we play them in Mexico.

Maybe I missed the hubbub about this, but it seemed to be new information to SSJ’s co-hosts so maybe I didn’t. If true it erases any lingering doubt that Peters had to go immediately.

Well then, f that guy sideways.

Pretty odd to have a problem with a guy like Mahomes if that was indeed what happened. Peters doesn't seem like the most mentally sound guy, though, so I can believe it.

I thought this was common knowledge? Peters wanted to be THE guy in KC and Mahomes came here and he couldn't handle the hype around him.

Guys 'like mahomes' frequently have animosity in NFL locker rooms for BS reasons.

Mahomes... light skinned black guy, son of an athlete, stable family, comes from wealth.

Peters... from Oakland.

Same reason so many NBA players hate Curry. Same reason Seattle players would bash Wilson behind his back. Young black kids from rough backgrounds tend to resent guys with Mahomes background.

Paylor basically said the same thing in simple terms months back. Veach said that they wanted to build the team around Mahomes, he being the leader with zero questions about it.

**** Peters.

There is your reason they shipped his punk ass out, makes perfect sense.

He was a pain in the ass for everyone and he had a beef with the future star of the franchise.

Said before and I will say it again, **** Marcus Peters.

I was just talking about how he's a hard working, genuinely good person by all accounts, but sure.

Not news, this was posted about back during the says after the trade, that Peters and Mahomes were oil and water, Mahomes doesn't like Peters and vice versa.

****, not hard to see why...Peters is a ****up.

Mahomes was raping Peters in practice all the time and he got pissy.

True.

This is also true.

Peters doesn't like QBs that make him look stupid in practice.

Correct. There is a cultural thing there between light and dark skinned blacks. I obviously don’t participate and wisely keep my mouth shut, but, I’ve seen and heard the comments myself. Both ways.

It would make sense that it would be in an NFL locker room too.

Seem to remember it was reported that he did have a lot of success against Peters' coverage. Maybe old Marcus got pissed about that, lol
