41 receptions

now maybe Mecole needed to step it up and take more advantage of opportunity when Sammy was out of games but did y'all see the catch in the back of the endzone against the Saints?
I'll take Mecole Hardman as a gadget player or jet sweep kinda guy any time because we are winning ****ing championships and he is part of our success.
It's all in y'alls head that he doesn't have chemistry with Patrick Mahomes II but this is the third season for Mecole give him the chance to succeed before calling him a bust. He has game. He has given us opportunities to win games more than he ever has cost us any games. The Super Bowl Patrick didn't have 2 seconds in the pocket there was no pocket so don't blame chemistry when Patrick was running for his life the entire game and that defense crushed our offensive line Tyreek Hill and Kelse had shit game as well.
Give the kid a chance, or not, be an asshole just to pound your chest when he makes a mistake and come on here telling everyone how much he sucks.

In my opinion, and even with Sammy, I never thought the Chiefs ever really thought of receivers as #1, #2, etc., but more interchanging parts that each player has to know and can be called on at any moment. This is why it takes young guys a while to catch on to the offense....because there simply is so much to learn and understand, and the player is expected to know all of it.
While I'm not entirely on the Mecole wagon, and would love nothing else than to see him elevate his game further, to deny that he has made plays whether catching the ball, running the ball, or returning the ball is to be in denial. He certainly has made a significant contribution to the team, and will do so again this year.
With that said, I'm not certain he ever does significantly more than what he's done to date. I sure hope he takes the next step, as we might be the best offense in the history of the NFL if he does. But he's certainly a key component on a pretty dang good offense as is, and we can and will a bunch of games because of it.
