But you can't say that he hadn't played hurt, as opposed to Mr. Glass; Peat sucked it up and even played that playoff game with pins in his hand (can't imagine what that was like even with medication)...

So maybe all of it factored into the decision and maybe Peat's one of these guys that once he's got his and feels secured, that breaks him through to the next level - for Drew's sake, we can only hope and pray...

Those factors and unknown others had to have come into play. The people that make these decisions have far more information than any of us sitting here tapping on our keys.

Except, of course, those brilliant members here that know all.
