    Can't say I was at all sold on Kerley as a solid #3 before this season. But in terms of guys on our team outperforming expectations he's top of the very small list. Last night he was up against a top defence and I'd say he won his matchup against a pro bowl corner. He was the only target anyone had heard of and he was our biggest threat.
    Good on ya Jeremy Kerley. I'm am officially but temperamentally on your bandwagon...

    Sanchez completed well over 50% of his throws to him last year - they click really well.

    Still need a backfield option to replace LT who was like 70% completion guy with Sanchez last year.

    I really like Kerley, I think our top 3 will be really good next year w/ Holmes back and Hill w/ a year of experience. We need depth though.

    Hill has to stay healthy and improve his hands - if he does they will have a legit vertical thereat and two other solid all over options. Resign a healthy Keller and they need to find out what they have at running back in Powell and Grimes. They need a back that can catch...they seem to be the only team in the NFL unable to outlet to a running back of run a simple screen consistently

    He is becoming a pretty damn good receiver. Hopefully he and Mark can continue to build chemistry and get better.

    Holmes, Hill, and Kerley with Keller and a new RB for next season? Gets me excited. But honestly Kerley has shown that he can get open.

    Kerely Island! Yeah, he's 'not bad'!!!

    It was also nice to see McKnight in on a few plays, especially after the big return. If they start drawing up some plays for him, he could become our next LT.

    When Keller, Hill, & The Terminator coming back soon, plus Kerley, Tebow might have a shot at saving the season!

    Back to Kerley.....

    He was a real bright spot last night. Made some solid catches and held on after taking some big hits. He is a solid #3.

    Apparently McKnight was puking on the sideline a bunch last night too. Flu or bug or something they said after the game.

    Kerley is pretty solid for what they've got at this point. He should be thinking about making an impact now that he's basically the top receiver on the team. Take advantage of the opportunity.

    Kerley kinda reminds me of Jerricho Cotchery, nifty moves, good route running and good hands. Only minus is he doesn't have that break away speed.

    Hopefully he will become a solid no. 2, so next season will be Holmes' last in Green and White.

    Kerley has been great. Off the top of my head, I think he has 4 of our 5 biggest plays this year. Deep catches against Miami, Pittsburgh and Houston ... and that punt return against Buffalo.

    Kerley right now is our best offense player, but he isn't a deep threat, If we had a real core of recivers Kerley would be even better. If we had a number 1 deep threat Kerley would make even more big plays, but thanks to Tanny we don't have the right personall for anyone to grow off of on this offense, he can be a stud number 2 or 3 reciver.Eli Manning would make Kerley look like a number 1 draft pick

    Maybe he was at the tailgate before the game...

    Considering he is only in his 2nd year and is probably best suited to play the slot Kerley has been pretty good and reliable. He does remind me of Cotchery as well. Seems like a smart player who can be productive in the right situation.

    He seems like the only receiver who is always on the same page as Sanchez too which is really important. That is something I missed about Cotchery. Kerley should be here a long time. Never going to break the bank but will be a reliable receiver who can make some big plays, return punts, and has a knack for making catches on 3rd down.

    Yeah jk is picking it up. He has similar body type as Steve smith (panthers). Hopefully he can come close to his production.

    And BTW ... GREAT hustle to run down the defender and make the TD saving tackle after that INT. No way on Earth Holmes does that.

    Kerley is fast beginning one if my favorite jets. He us turning into Mr. Reliable like Cotch was. I hope he is here for a while because it seems he is our best playmaker.

    Kerly is a good receiver who can become even better. He's the one bright spot on that offense.
