Hardman made a critical catch in the Chargers game and had an awesome pun return.
These guys are getting magnified right now bc of MVS. If that asshole catches Mahomes pass it's a TD and the Chiefs get 29 points instead of 25. Erase him and the WR's are not killing the team.
But again they aren't stars. They're just decent players that haven't killed us like Skyy, MVS and Toney have.

The book might still be open on James. But he's been a non-factor as a Chief so far. He was also the guy that effed up that crossing route Week 1. maybe he'll do something significant in the playoffs. In the regular season he's done next to nothing, one 54-yard game notwithstanding.
Watson is a ST player, nothing more. He catches 1-2 passes a game and next to no points, and he's regressed to a 50% catch rate guy. "caught deep passes twice in 3 games." Holy shit, the bar is ****ing low for some people.
Hardman is in the same boat with James. Hasn't done anything of note yet but might still be productive in the playoffs. We can still have a glimmer of hope. I always liked Hardman, for what he was, not what he could maybe become, but I'm realistic about what he can do. Given his skillsets, I understand he's going to run a lot of gadget stuff, but I wish they'd send him deep more often. We'll see what happens.
Bottom line though, these guys aren't very good. None of them. At best, James/Hardman is a low-end 3, top-end WR4. But that's it. If we cut them all tomorrow, not one team would sign them for the playoffs, and i have doubts any would be signed during the offseason, by any NFL team. Maybe James on some 1-yr min rate deal before beginning his new career as a car salesman in 2025.
