We did both, thank the Lord.

This 100%. Don’t get hurt was the big goal, no one was worried about winning.

Film review: Mecole Hardman showing signs of development

Quote:

The Kansas City Chiefs passing offense had been in a little bit of a rut the past few weeks, but it broke out in a big way against the New York Jets.

One of the theories as to why the offense looked staler was the lack of a true “X” wide receiver. The Chiefs not only had to replace Sammy Watkins’ production but also his usage on third downs and as a short-to-intermediate threat. While Demarcus Robinson and Byron Pringle had seen the biggest jump in snap count since the injury, it was Mecole Hardman who was able to bust out a big game against New York.

Hardman had his best career game as a wide receiver. He finished with a career-high seven receptions, scored a touchdown and was only one yard shy (96) of his career-high. But more than production, this game was about how he was being utilized and how effective it was. The Chiefs found a way to get him involved in the passing game between the line of scrimmage and 20-plus yards downfield.

Let’s dig into this fantastic performance from Hardman and what it could mean for his development going forward.

Usage
One of the most significant sticking points in my evaluation of Hardman coming into the league was his lack of effectiveness. Some of that may have been team-driven, but it’s also about the trait and skills of the player . . .

Still a ways to go, but just the fact that Andy had Mecole running these routes says something positive about his progression. Still needs to work on his feet and such, but this is a good sign for Hardman.

I recall reading awhile back it generaly takes WR's three years to get fully acclimated to Andy Reid's offense. So Hardman is right on (and arguably ahead) of schedule to start tapping into his full potential in this system. Definitely more big games to come.

Yes I believe that’s true. The problem for Hardman is that people expected him to be Tyreek 2.0.

But when you look at his stats, Mecole is right in line with some other very good WR’s.

He's not DK Metcalf. People have tunnel vision.

I'm gonna start calling him Meek.

We got Reek and we got Meek.

The guy that quietly shows up on Sundays and scores touchdowns.

Metcalf has the advantage of having a top QB

Hardman is decent. But he will likely never be Metcalf. And that’s ok.

Hardman is waaaaaaaaaaaay beyond "decent".

He was Pro Bowl returner in his first season and has 11 TD's in 27 regular season games.

For hardman to have better numbers he would need more targets. Those targets would be at the expense of Hill and Kelce. You know, two guys on hall of fame type paths.

For ****s sake guys.

Not necessarily. If he was open consistently, they could come at the expense of incompletions. Hill and Kelce would have the same number of receptions and instead of Mahomes feeling the need to force a ball to them when they're covered resulting in an incompletion or having to throw it away, he could throw it to Hardman.
