How did Kearse do at blocking for Rawls in the run game? Anybody watch and rate that part?
Good point.. WR's get paid by their ability to block, not get open and then catch the ball.
Kearse apparently does. That's all I can figure out for why he's getting snaps and getting paid.
That and repeatedly making huge catches in playoff games. And being a stud on special teams.
The team is paying him as a valued player, i.e., several times vet minimum.
Kearse is making 2.3M this year, vs. 570K and 390K in years prior.
Initially I figured the team was paying Kearse as a reward for big plays made in the past. Market value wise, IMO, Kearse should be a 1-1.5M guy. So I'm sticking with the theory that the team is paying him as a reward, as a message to other players, that guys who make those big plays get valued and taken care of. In Pete & John's system, this actually makes a lot of sense.
* Same with Lockette before his injury, and of course his unforgettable blocks on Beastquake II vs the Cards.
You mentioned him making big catches in big games, you forgot to mention all the drops that forced us to NEED those catches later in the game.
Sucking for 75% of the game and then finally doing something in the final 25% does not make you good, it means you suck 75% of the time.
Kearse already got his "reward" when he got paid his salary. He was NOT underpaid before. He was paid adequately for a guy who doesnt have many skills and fails to help the team much.
