No one doubts that Hardman has talent and speed and can be a real contributor. It's just his inability to get on the same page with Mahomes **as a non-gadget receiver** that has been extremely frustrating.

And I think that's the outstanding issue for many here, including myself. It's not that I hate Hardman or think he sucks. I'm just disappointed he and Mahomes haven't been able to develop better chemistry and Hardman has consistently seemed to play with a low football IQ. I hope to death that changes this year, but I haven't seen anything yet in these two preseason games to offer a great deal of confidence.

There's just growing frustration and I hope I'm wrong.
