pointman 5,371 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Nice! I am glad to see it. Doesn't complain, and goes out and tries despite wasting his career with a turnstyle of garbage quarterbacks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Integrity28 76,085 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Excellent. Probably the best WR we've drafted on our own since Cotchery, which is ******* pathetic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flgreen 29,103 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Kind of surprised abut this. Last thing I read about Kerley he was talking about how there was no spirit in the locker room. His production is also down, which I think is due to the QB. Thought he would want to test FA Glad he's signed though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Dierking 135,019 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Does this send the message to Harvin that the Jets see him as an outside receiver, rather than slot? Is that the intention? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If one believe that Harvin is only a "slot" receiver mold, then yes, you can have too many slot receivers. That is not illogical at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it sends any message at all to Harvin, that message is we've got 2 guys we like locked up... it is up to you to make this work. I think Harvin will be used all over the place, fwiw, so establishing who plays where seems trivial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warfish 30,559 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 We certainly had to lock up this (generally unproductive) WR that no one else in the league was after, immediately after trading for a guy who plays the same position but is supposed to be better. Guess missing on a half dozen WR's in the draft makes you afraid you can't actually build through the draft, eh? Devil you know, and all that. I like Kerley enough, but I had hoped we could do better. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's literally no team in the NFL that would say "boy, I wish we had fewer capable slot receivers". LMFAO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bleedin Green 80,004 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 What? You would think that they would wait to see what they have in Harvin. Hope they got him on a cheap If it's not a particularly high-priced deal, which there's no reason to believe it would be, I don't think there's any reason to let the Harvin situation dictate keeping him around. The Jets have had more than enough problems with WR depth that there's no reason to let go of one of the few guys they've had success with in recent years. Besides, even if Harvin does stick, that only increases the likelihood that the Jets won't want to make a big investment, via FA or the draft, in another WR next offseason, and they'd obviously still need a #3 guy even with Harvin on the team. Assuming they didn't significantly overpay, I think it makes sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Schroy 3,763 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 This just may have been a smart move by Idzik. Kerleys numbers are lower, so maybe we got him cheaper than after his numbers go up (I know Geno has to get better) and you pay more, or lose him completely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pac 34,275 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Why wouldn't they sign him? He's seemingly a good locker room guy and our offense was considerably worse without him last year. If they got him on the cheap - which we know will be the case with Idzik - then there's literally nothing to complain about. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Assuming they didn't significantly overpay, I think it makes sense. No doubt. Going into next year, you've got Decker, Amaro and Kerley locked up. If Harvin proves to be a good fit, you renegotiate his deal. Harvin and Amaro can be moved all over the formation, and Kerley has shown he can play multiple WR spots too (due to other injuries), so you've got the potential on the offense (especially if we add another beast WR via FA or draft) to move guys around and create mismatches. I can't remember the last time we had that sort of flexibility in our offense, tbh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jetsfan80 123,272 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Glad to see this. I was worried we'd be letting Kerley go after the season and giving big money to a guy who missed 25 games from 2012 to '13. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's literally no team in the NFL that would say "boy, I wish we had fewer capable slot receivers". LMFAO It all depends on the salaries of those slot receivers. Everything has to have balance. You can't overpay in the slot position, to the detriment of the rest of the team. i AM NOT saying this is a bad move, but it does seem to make Harvin an outside receiver or nothing.

Based on what we've seen out there so far this year, I really hope to see one or both of them out there on Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warfish 30,559 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Kerley plays the slot, Harvin is the flanker. Despite having similar statures, those are not the same position. Kerley, nice guy or not, is a fourth or fifth tier NFL WR (i.e. a JAG). He's part of that roster widely called "talentless" by a majority of Jets fans and the pro football media. And he's been utterly unproductive in 2014. Sorry, but I hoped we could do better at WR going forward than that. /shrug Guess I'll just have to be proven wrong on both Harvin (the injury prone cancer) and Kerley (the nice guy JAG). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
