What makes Hardman and Moore that more enticing than JuJu? Hardman has yet to ever show much and Moore is from a small program trying not just to get up to speed on NFL defenses' but get up to speed on Andy's offense.
That's a steep curve to accomplish in just his rookie season.
JuJu has had success when he was healthy and he had a QB that wasn't a corpse.

I honestly really hope Juju kills it, it would be amazing. Here though are my list of reasons, both valid and also pretty invalid of why I'm not hyping him up more:
-First, invalid reason: He's under contract for one year. Even if he blows up he's either going to be really expensive or leave. Or, I mean, both. So there's a side of me that wants others to succeed instead. Thankfully what I want has nothing to do with how it plays out.
-Second Juju really succeeded when he, against the odds, maxed out his opportunities. He did this playing second fiddle to Antonio Brown largely out of the slot. Brown left, then Juju not only regressed to the mean when it came to opportunities he also was not nearly as effective playing the X against the best corners. I was more excited about Juju before Tyreek left.
-Third I feel like he's just an extra guy in our offense. We have better route runners, faster guys, bigger guys, guys that catch better. Maybe he can be a Sammy Watkins but I just don't see Juju being that #1 WR for any team ever.
I could be very very wrong but not hearing anything out of camp so far kind of just confirmed my bias. But then again maybe he's a gamer and he'll show up in games. Maybe Mahomes' arm will make him come alive. We'll see.
