Jeremy Kerley

He found a spot not on exactly a good team who is very short of receivers. But imo he was a decent player on the Jets but Gailey just didn't want to use him. Same goes for Amaro. It's not a great loss to the Jets team either one of them but they are both NFL caliber players.

Never understood some of the hate for JK last year.  Jet fans definitely overrated him but what choice did we have when our #1 receiver was David Nelson.  The guy was a solid player who was always willing to take a hit and wasn't scared to roam around the middle of the field.  Not sure why he was in the doghouse here, but I always had an appreciation for what he did here and got good production out of him for a 5th Rd. pick.  TBH kind of surprised he didn't end up in NE with Belichick, seems perfect for their offense.

The Jets like Kerley as a return guy because he was reliable, could catch the ball and not turn it over. But he was not a big time return guy. He made a few very good returns sure but for the most part he got you standard short yardage. What you really want ideally is a guy with speed who can break one. But then you have the potential for turnovers. Jalen Marshall seems to possibly have big play ability but so far he is susceptible to turning the ball over. You hope he can develop into being to a more reliable player but you have to decide if it's worth it if he's going to fumble the ball a lot which like on Sunday (on a reception) was the key first factor in our losing that game.

Kick Return is vastly overrated these days.  The kicking game (Punt return, kickoff return) is almost 100% irrelevant now.  They hurt you far more than heklp you (see: J Marshall for example).

You're best off fair catching every punt, and touchbacking every kickoff.  No fumbles, no turnovers, no TD's for the other team off your own ****ups.

No big returns?  So what.  That's why you pay tens of millions to the eleven guys on your offense.

A kick returner will never over come a bad offense or bad QB.

Bench Marshall (for now as KR), put someone with hands back there, and stop ******* about.

He only returned 3 kicks in his Jets career. Unless you mean punt returner, where the hate for him at that position was massively overstated and was more the product of poor coaching than anything.

I don't understand how running directly into the loving arms of any person with an opposing uniform is a product of coaching. Other team = bad seems like a pretty self-explanatory concept.

I thought the major complaint about him was the fair catching, which was obviously instructed. Kerley wasn't the best punt returner by any measure, but he was fine.

Player you like sucks, blame the coaching.  Player you don't like sucks, blame the player.

It's Geno Smith Disease.

Anyone associated with the last few years of the John Idzik / Rex Ryan / Geno Smith regime is completely disliked, the FO rebuild of Maccagnan and Bowles was a breath of fresh air, no one wanted a reminder of the brutal 2013/2014 squad, very few fragments of the old 4-12 regime were tolerated.
