How bad was Kearse this year?

60 yards in penalties, 510 receiving. 46% catch rate.

edit: correction - it was 60 yards in penalties, I read the summary stat wrong as just for 2016, not for his entire career. Still, 60 yards, 5 of which were OPI. There was a 6th OPI that was declined.

I knew it was bad. Did not think it was THAT bad

That's over 10% of the teams total penalty yards.

"Well if you would pay me better, I would work harder!"

Dump him , draft Carlos Henderson

simply put...terrible.

Net 400 yards then....

Holy crap, that's awful. We could get that or better from an undrafted rookie for a fraction of the price.

He was horrible

How bad has he been? He's been like... really really awful....like really

Did anyone really think he was going to improve from his past seasons? If he didn't have local ties I bet he would not have been resigned. Its not like suitors were banging down his door.

This was the stat when Kearse started as our starter. He had to be the starter again this year once Tyler was hampered by his injury, and it shows, he is best used as our 4th-5th option.

Lynch pretty much helped with the receiving game that year knowing that Kearse was struggling a bit in the redzone.

Jermaine Kearse
2014 - 38 catches - 537 yards - 14.1 avg - 1 TD

Marshawn Lynch
2014 - 37 catches - 367 yards - 9.9 avg - 4 TD

im surprised he even had that many yards to be honest. I feel like he got 1 catch for 8 yards every week. he certainly never made game changing plays this year. and for those who say his blocking is good. what good is being able to block when our line is so terrible that the running back is getting tackled for a 3 yard loss every time. maybe in the Lynch days when we sprung some runs his blocking would be meaningful.

More importantly this year, he got 4 or 5 OPIs on pick plays. We can whine about the double standard on pick plays but the fact he got that many and was put in a position to get that many through his place in the depth chart, his perceived value on those plays, etc etc, it was disheartening.

Kearse is the best example of the Bevell et al slamming the offense face first against the wall and sticking to their guns on personnel placement and plays in spite of the net contribution.

I certainly don't like it if Kearse was still pouting after Doug caught that TD pass in front of him against the Lions. That would indicate total selfishness and an attitude that wouldn't support the team concept that we've thrived on. He was pretty invisible Saturday. I hope there's nothing to this and it was just internet speculation.

Wasn't Russell Wilson's QB rating throwing to Kearse only a couple of decimal points higher than just throwing it into the dirt? That pretty much says it all.

A good time for addition by deletion with Kearse. With his stats, replacement can only be a positive move, regardless of any dead money or Cap hits. I personally would like a guy like WR-Taywan Taylor as a round 3/4 replacement. The offense would automatically improve considerably with a talented, young and hungry receiver replacing Kearse.

if Baldwin did let the ball go Kearse would have dropped it and just blamed Baldwin saying he thought Dougie was going to get it. Great receivers go and attack the ball to get it, Kearse does not do this.

I thought I read somewhere that Russ would've had a higher QB rating just throwing it away every time instead of targeting Kearse.

What's really awesome about all these stats is that Kearse was targeted 4 times as much in the red zone as Jimmy F*****g Graham.

I want him off the team, out of the state, SEND HIM TO CANADA!!!
