I like having Jeremy Kerley. I remember going to training camp in 2011 (during his rookie year) and thinking he was going to be a stud. He is sort of like a modern Jerricho Cotchery. Reliable, Mr 3rd. Down, good personality, under-rated, etc. With Marshall and Decker drawing coverages, it's easy to see why one might get excited overly Kerley. I do think that Kerley will get more receptions this year, however, I don't think he's going to light it up. He's the type of receiver who will get you the 3-6 yards you need for a first down. To sum it up, Kerley is the type of fan-favorite receiver who never disappoints, but you never really have high expectations anyways. I love having him on the team, but I'm not picking him up in a standard fantasy league.
Kerley was the best receiver two years ago on a sh-tty team. That's why he got a nice contract. I can see him being expendable In a year.
Well if U want to win a SB U need talented players which Kerley is not so going cheap in his case IMHO was a big GM error
Kerley is a talented player. Championship teams need players to fill their roles. Kerley will serve as a plus in the slot. Personally I can't remember him dropping a ball. His reliable hands will serve us well as a 3rd WR.
So, in other words, you can't name a better wr at his price range. they upgraded kerley by obtaining marshal and putting kerley back at wr3 where he is worth what he is getting. Thats not going cheap
I was once a big Kerley fan, but I've been disappointed with his progress and am not buying the "it's the QB's fault' excuse. In fact, I was pissed the day Idzik (remember him?) signed him to the long term deal since we had other guys, like Mo, who should have been addressed first. Kerley's a question mark in my mind. I hope he can win me back.
Did you watch the clip... Kerley exhibits every skill you pointed out..except he isn't playing in Charlie Weis' offense. He goes up high in traffic in at least three of those, and uses his feet and ankles to abuse corners in a couple. The only thing he lacks (and much less than Welker) is top end speed. Welker doesn't run precise routes, so much as he's shifted to open areas and he's the primary target. (the playbook is available on line) Hence.... Just sayin...
See above. Draw a 5 yard bubble, from the left shoulder of the left tackle, the helmet of the center, and the right shoulder of the right tackle. then get guys that are a threat outside that bubble. and behind the line of scrimmage (laterally on swing routes, and pitches. hence the Ridley signing... http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/R/RidlSt00.htm Gain 6 ypc. for free all the live long day from the slot.
