Pringle was getting all the snaps down the stretch. Is he in the doghouse? (I'm only partially asking because I started him in fantasy thinking he'd get some looks with Watkins out)
Seems like he's regressed a lot this season, unfortunately... [Reply]
It's year 3 next year. He either develops or he doesn't.
I'm not going to worry about it. They need new WR's this offseason anyway so he'll either rise to the top or he'll sink and they can get rid of him. [Reply]

Don't know what Veach and Reid were smoking when they overlooked him.
IIRC, he also ran the 3-cone slower than Tom Brady so.. lol
This is all revisionist history. There were tons of concerns about Metcalf's game translating to the NFL. People weren't sure if he was just a physical freak, workout warrior. [Reply]

I've seen all I want of Hardman. The only way Mahomes completes a pass to him is if he throws the ball hard enough to lodge in Hardman's ass since Hardman lacks the ability to turn his head and look for the ball. [Reply]
I think hardman can be a playmaker, but with the screwups it may not be worth giving him the snaps.
If he doesn't drastically improve next season, he can get gone.

Hardman will absolutely play a much larger role next year, and that’s fine. He’s still making plenty of plays while he’s developing. What more could you ask for?

Everybody made fun of Metcalf running a horribly slow 3 cone. They thought he was just a lob it up and catch it possession receiver. But speed only matter so much.
We need a receiver that has size, good enough speed and most importantly the skills of a real football player.
Hardman never showed he was a football player at Georgia. Draft guys who are. [Reply]

I think they were thinking we already had Sammy Watkins in that position who was getting paid and didn't realise he would be injured for pretty much 2 years.
Having a back up for Tyreek was important at that stage. [Reply]
