Jets sign Kerley to 4-year extension

should be stated that signing kerley has nothing to do with who we draft

if cooper or white is the BPA when we are on the clock, they'll be the pick

 

Lol. People making stupid bullshit excuses months ago and my making good natured fun of them is me "shitting" in them.

It's the internet. Get over it.

That's how it SHOULD go

but will it?

 

yea as idzik has proven twice now he will take BPA

 

Come to think of it, I shouldn't have encouraged you. You should be ashamed of yourself!!!

 

I would hope he would look to get a haul like they did for Julio Jones or Watkins first

 

Yes, he did so well with the 12 picks haul he had last year.

 

Kerley is like a poor man's Wayne Chrebet, a guy with very good hands, solid route running, good football IQ, and toughness, but he is not the fastest guy, and can't really do much in the open field. Since he is short as well, that means he can't really get open on long routes, having neither height nor speed, nor get a lot of Yards After Catch. This makes him a really good possession receiver, running short routes when we need a first down.

Harvin is completely different. He also has good hands and toughness, but then he has blazing speed, quickness, and balance, which allow him to be a threat to go all the way on any given play. So some things that he can do that Kerley can't are:

- use his speed to get open on long routes
- catch the ball short and run past defenders
- running-back like plays where he runs around the edge in a sweep or catches the ball at the line and runs downfield

 

He deserves it.

 

I'd like to see the percentages of how many times each guy lined up in the slot, and their success rate, as apposed to on the outside.

 

I'm great at being wrong but from what I can tell Harvin is just a more explosive version of Kerley.

 

What am I wrong about exactly?

 

Please argue then.

 

I'm not totally sure I love this signing because I don't know how both Harvin and Kerley are going to be able to maximize their potential while being on the field at the same time but if our OC can make it work this makes NY a very attractive spot for veteran QBs and can benefit a rookie QB for years to come.

 

That's a good assessment right there. Kerley's not going to stretch the defense like a Percy Harvin. They are different receivers completely.

 

They are different in their capabilities but neither is a dominant outside guy, they both mostly come from the slot. Can they play the outside, sure, but its not ideal for either of them so how do you get both on the same field and maximize their potential, thats my concern.

 

I've have the NFL package for 5 years now and watch a ton of college football; I'm very familiar with Harvin's game. I don't need to do "research" via YouTube highlights. I'm still waiting to hear what's wrong with the Harvin is a more explosive version of Kerley assessment.
