Minnesota Vikings cornerback Patrick Peterson played a decade for the Arizona Cardinals but his time with the team did not end well. He continues to carry a grudge against general manager Steve Keim.

In the latest edition of his podcast, “All Things Covered,” together with former Cardinals cornerback Bryant McFadden, Peterson had strong comments about quarterback Kyler Murray, general manager Steve Keim and coach Kliff Kingsbury.

He accused Murray of being selfish and said Kingsbury will be scapegoat for Arizona’s problems.

McFadden asked Peterson about the Cardinals’ coaching situation and whether Kingsbury would become the scapegoat after the season.

“Ain’t no maybe,” he said. “He will be, and the crazy thing is the guy who hired him will still have a job.”

Peterson was, of course, referring to general manager Steve Keim, with whom he has a beef for how his situation in free agency was handled in 2020.

But he didn’t stop there.

He made it clear that he thinks Murray is selfish, based on postgame comments he made.

“Kyler Murray don’t care about nobody but Kyler Murray,” he said.

The comments were made in response to Murray saying they were “schematically (expletive)” after Sunday’s loss.

That, though was taken way out of context by both McFadden and Peterson.

They claimed Murray was calling out Kingsbury’s offense and the scheme. That wasn’t the case.

Murray was responding to a question about a failed fourth-down play on Sunday that resulted in an interception. It was “schematically (expletive)” because the Chargers blew up the play.

Peterson, a former teammate of Murray, would know things many others don’t about Murray, although he was only with the team Murray’s first two years in the league.

But every time Peterson opens up his mouth and comments something about Arizona, whether or not what he is saying is accurate, it is clear he simply has an ax to grind and is using his platform to grind it.
