Welp I'm glad to disagree and if I'm wrong I'm wrong but the kid is going make a bigger impact this season than Sammy Watkins just watch and see. I believe in the kid as I believe in Veach for drafting him as a first rounder. The kid is more special than some here think but I believe in him and I can't say i'm as excited about Sammy Watkins as I am Mecole Hardman.
Mecole Hardman will turn heads this season.
He will be a bigger complement to Tyreek Hill and Tyreek Hill will feed off of that.
Just watch and see. You have your opinion I'll keep mine but don't act like your opinion is fact its just what you believe. [Reply]

This is much more fun than arguing whether or not Brady Quinn can finally live up to his potential and help Romeo Crennel redeem himself. :-)
It seems like just yesterday that I was trying to convince myself Thigpen was going to be the next big thing. [Reply]
I was more interested in this when I clicked on your link.

Nearly 30 voters were polled, and all but one picked Mahomes first overall.
So, you're telling me that all but one of the league executives, coaches, scouts and players that they polled about this picked Mahomes at #1? And that one dissenter picked him at #4? :-) WTF? [Reply]

"Where the hell is Solomon Thomas on this list? Oh well, I'll just write him in."

Mecole is going come alive in this offense you just watch and don't underestimate him he was taken in the first round. Good kid and he has speed. The only disadvantage Mecole has is this is a ****ed up year so they didn't have the OTAs as usual but I know Mecole works out hard with Tyreek and Tyreek has taken him under his wing per say they challenge each other.
Our normal set is 3 wide, one TE.
Hill, Hardman, Watkins and Kelce.
Hardman's not taking Watkins' snaps. Targets? maybe, some, yeah-but not snaps. [Reply]

I agree. However, that doesn't mean Watkins is the WR2.
You can point out the lack of TD production after Hill got hurt, but some of that is because the double team was on him. I'd also point out that it's not all about TDs and yards. If you can keep moving the chains with 7-8 yard completions, groovy. You also have to look at other things, like downfield blocking. Watkins is much better at that than Hardman. Now, should we pay him long-term like a WR2? I don't think so, but I would like to keep him on the team. [Reply]
I think hardman will out produce Watkins but I think Watkins is and will continue to be an integral part of the offense. Watkins will get more snaps too. [Reply]
My problem with Watkins is that some games he looks like an elite all-Pro WR who changes the entire game because of his domination. The other 12 games of the year he just seems to coast. He is paid way too much to coach 2/3rds of the year.
We have several targets to share the ball but Mahomes would absolutely feed Watkins the ball more often if he was dominating. [Reply]
