I stopped listening to Peter King for 1 reason.. Driving down to NJ, I heard King on WEEI with Dale and Holley and gave his predictions.. 3 hours later he was on 660am and doing the same thing but gave a different prediction..
He has little knowledge of X's and O's and rely's on his contacts..
If you want some inside juice on the league or player, he has some great contacts.. But for him to judge a player is a joke. to many times I've seen him pick breakout players or say this guy isn't good, only to find out his judgement was wrong

I've seen the guy play 3 times in person (head to TB for 1 game a year), and as someone already pointed out, he's not Revis.. But he's a lot closer to Revis than arrington and the rest of the crew.. He can line up and play from day 1..

He has more talent coming to this team at this point in his career then Haynesworth, Ocho and Fanene.. Its a solid move to shore up a weakness in two areas.. Allows McCourty to firm up the middle and Talib (if he keeps his head together) on the outside with Denard (i feel arrington will/should move to his natural position.. inside)

BradyFTW!

Remember when he spent an entire MMQB raving over Chad Henne, saying that he was going to be the steal of the draft and an excellent QB? Yeah, whiffs of that magnitude aren't exactly rare for him.

I love this deal, but let's not pretend that this guy hasn't been involved in serious crap which goes far beyond what Dillon, Moss, Bryan Cox, Haynsworth and any other scumbag you wish to name was involved with. T. Owens behaves like an idiot. Comparing the worst he's ever done to Talib's rap sheet is disingenuous and phony. Let's be honest. I believe he's going to play great football and behave himself because of where he is and who's around him. But, let's not try and pretend Talib's transactions have been frat boy stuff. He's been in big boy land criminally.

Brady_to_Moss

based on the title he is right..he isn't a GREAT CB..a decent one yes. Who knows. Maybe Tb traded him becasue he was getting picked on the past 2 years and was getting beat on a lot of plays which was happening

Add this to the long list of things that Peter "The amazing Kreshkin" King has been WRONG about...............WHat a douche and true to his usual schtick.....a Pats hater....We all need to overload his email account when Talib gets his FIRST (of many) INT"s!!!!

Jackson 2

Not to argue semantics, but he's far better than decent. He has the ability to make this secondary legit, or better.

One big difference between the problems with Talib and Haynsworth for instance is that Haynsworth is one lazy ass. That man seems to have no love for the game and if he has the work for it, he won't. Talib is gona have to clean up his act if he wants to stay here but I don't think he is a lazy ass like Fat Albert. Therefor I am not as worried for the football side. For the other side of him do, I am worried but if anyone can change him, then that is probably BB. I think the lockerroom today is buildt to handle guys like this too. I mean, Wilfork and Mayo will do what they can to keep him in line and I think Brady will keep a close watch on him so that he doesn't hurt the locker room in any way. Brady is after more rings I don't think he will let a punk get in the way on that. The lockerroom has clear leaders and I think that will help. It is not a loose young locker room. It is a room with good leaders.

What is it with all the hating here? How many of you have the cred, experience, or, let alone, know-how, to call King an idiot, a lousy writer, and many other worse things here?

Grow up children. When someone disagrees with you if the first thing you do is call them stupid it only proves one thing - you're the stupid one. Or didn't you learn that BEFORE you went to kindergarten?

King's primarily a reporter - he reports on what he hears from players, coaches, management, and various experts, yes, some even paid to talk to him. He opines beyond this reporting but to a limited degree and he's always the first one to point out his predictions and insights have not had the greatest track record. Why? Because virtually NO ONE has a great track record when it comes to assessing players, coaches, teams, etc. If it were so easy Vegas wouldn't make a dime and we'd have six Revis type CB's on the Pats because BB would have no problem finding them.

Geez........

Unfortunately I think you may be mis-remembering Mr. Dillon, who has the rare distinction of logging multiple arrests in each period: before, during and after his NFL career. The combination of a strong locker room and a winning team kept him in check in New England...for a while.

Jackson 2

I'm agreeing with you. Not sure Corey's offenses rise to the level, or better yet, sink to the level of Talib's. But our positions are pretty much in sync. By the way, love the Roger Clemens "misremembering." Beautiful!
