Truth be told, for all the credit Peters used to get, seeing some of the signings- Kinlaw, Jackson, and his love of Lance make me think he wasnt nearly as much the real talent as some wanted to make him to be. He leaves and suddenly we start drafting well again?

I've been saying this for years. I never understood the Adam Peters love. There's zero evidence that he was ever responsible for drafting a single impact player during his time here. The only players we know for certain that he played a major role in drafting were Trey Lance and Ambry Thomas. We can presume now that he also loved Javon Kinlaw and liked Drake Jackson based on his decisions to sign them as the GM of Washington. The fact that the 49ers sat on their hands and didn't give a s**t that he was leaving for Washington signaled to me all I needed to know about they felt about Peters. Not saying he's a bum or whatever, he's sure as hell not some draft savant that a lot of 49ers' fans around here tried to make him out to be. I bet Shanny sure feels f**king vindicated right now seeing what Mac Jones is doing in his offense. He had it right all along.

Don't go to the Commander's forums/social media and see what they're saying about Peters right now.
