Zoka1234 30 minutes ago Isn't part of college coaching teaching these young athletes how to behave? We are talking about a 20 year old kid here. He seems like he is passionate about the game and a bit of a hot head. He didn't hit a coach or teammate, he didn't assault anyone and he didn't break any laws. I think Peterson has a duty to coach and teach these kids - kicking them off the team teaches them nothing. I understand what Peterson is trying to do but he is being too strict and he is going to lose his team.

No monster long post ... Peter's was given multiple chances to figure it out but he thought he was bigger than the team. Cancerous enough Apple that he can slow down the necessary culture change.
If Ross embraces the change to CB then there isn't a significant step backwards. We now know why Ross is at CB. And let's be honest, Ross' only asset at WR is his speed - that asset plays best at CB.

That's a pretty big assumption. Ross has a little experience at CB, but he's been practicing there for a week. To expect him to play at an All Conference level this season is a stretch.

I think it's crazy to think Ross is going to be anything close to the corner Peters was. He'll probably never be the corner Peters is, but certainly not right away.
Make no mistake, this might be a win for culture but it's a loss on the field. Peters wasn't Percy Harvin who was theoretically a weapon but never actually seemed to do anything, Peters was a fucking beast. The secondary is going to miss him badly.
The good news is TSIFO anyway, so making the move for the sake of culture makes sense.

TSIO.
By next year I could see Ross being at the point where he isn't a significant step back. That's when it will count.

Based on what? It would be great if true, but Peters was projected by many to be a first round draft pick.

So was Jack H Lockner. #1 overall in fact.
What good did that do?
Peters was actually good on the field. This move doesn't matter because TSIO and he was leaving after the season anyways, but Peters was always really good.
No question that expecting Ross To play at Peters' level this week probably isn't going to happen.
That being said there are opportunities to cover what you are losing w Peters and Ross at least athletically will be able to help there.
One thing people need to not anchor to is that the positions that players have been playing at are necessarily their best positions. It's possible that RB is Shaq's best position. It's possible that Ross' best position may be as a DB.

I didn't see this coming but after the way he was acting with Jaelen Strong in the ASU indicated to me that he wasn't going to change his ways.
That white boy Spruce from CU was open all day too. But to be fair, he's a Wes Welker type who runs crisp routes and has a good head on his shoulders.

I'm glad he started thinking about his family.
