As for Metcalf vs Hardman, this is kinda an easy one: Hardman looks a lot more like Tyreek Hill whom he was drafted to replace/as insurance for than Metcalf.
The guy seems like a meltdown waiting to happen. Im actually good with not going his way. He’s a match made in heaven for a guy like tomlin who will get some great talent from him while he can until he inevitably goes cuckoo. [Reply]
The issue isn’t not signing Hopkins, it’s that they thought we were good at WR in general. Otherwise they’d have made lower profile veteran signings. Just a big mistake. [Reply]

Completely agreed. I don't understand how you go into a title defense with a WR room comprised solely of 3/4 guys.
MVS is so completely inept at his position that he literally said this:
Who the fuck was he talking about?!?!!? Who the fuck did he think were "DAWGS"?!?! What does he think a "DAWG" is?

Now I think PFF are sometimes buff****ing reeruns but hard to believe they are that off base.
I have a healthy degree of skepticism for that. Either he completely turned it around the last couple weeks or is getting regular chip help on that line.
Anywho. He was a disaster coming into November. [Reply]

I will never understand how the front office and coaches could watch these wr's and think the team would be fine.
They HAD to see this coming. The wr's didn't just now start playing like crap.
When MVS came from Green Bay the book on him was that he had speed but hands were a negative, and that he ran a limited route tree. It’s easy to see that he is exactly what we signed. [Reply]
I mean, they did all kind of step up in the playoffs and Super Bowl. I hope they weren't basing it all on that, but it kind of seems like they were. [Reply]
I don’t remember where I read or heard this, maybe on a podcast, but someone said around camp that there were veteran guys interested but the Chiefs didn’t pursue any of them in free agency, being happy with their group going in. Just a big miscalculation [Reply]
