WR Jeremy Kerley | Page 42 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Sounds like purely a slot guy. Good to have another WR with some experience. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000691593/article/lions-trade-wideout-jeremy-kerley-to-49ers .... http://www.prideofdetroit.com/2016/3/22/11284608/jeremy-kerley-scouting-profile-a-limited-but-effective-slot-receiver However, he does have a pretty big limitation, and that's his play downfield. Kerley has issues getting open on any vertical routes, as his straight-line speed isn't all that impressive (4.62 40-yard dash time at the combine). Physical cornerbacks tend to get him off his game, which is why the Jets almost never used him as an outside receiver. Kerley also brings a lot of punt return experience to the Lions. Looking around, Kerley has received much criticism for fair catching the ball too often. Indeed, Kerley finished sixth in the league with 19 fair catches. But considering he also finished second in punt return yards and 14th in yards per return among qualifying players, you take the good with the bad. Overall, Kerley is a shifty receiver with more-than-reliable hands. Just don't expect him to stretch the field vertically.

Really really hope he does. Do not want to spend 30 million dollars per year on Kirk.

That would be awesome if Hoyer really gives us a season to think things over.. Kirk kinda turned me off from Sal Palotonios interview, playing games it looks like now making his money but trying to have the fans on his side.

30 mill can be 3-5 legit starters and thats not to be taken for granted.

What i really want is for Hoyer and CJ to both have knockout seasons. That way when ...and if...Cuzins comes available, we have not one but TWO QBs with red hot seasons. I hope both guys play lites out, and both make a case for starter, next yr. For me, that is nirvana.

I agree. I simply do not understand. To think a rookie is going to be more productive than a proven vet(a good one at that) is crazy talk.

Im intrigued with Robinson at the slot with his speed and YAC. Taylor would be the 4th WR.

After Edelman going down they could use another vet slot guy

Why would we trade away the only viable weapon at wr for us last year?

Big picture. Aldrick Robinson,Trent Taylor. Garcon and Goodwin are the starters.

I drafted Chris Hogan with my last pick today. He can fill in nicely I bet.

Good luck to Kerley.
He was a pro, helped out the young guys, and got paid.

Wish they would have released him yesterday before the Patriots traded for Dorsett today. They might have picked him up and he would have had a chance to catch passes from Brady.

True pro, like Staley said.

Jeremy, thanks for your efforts and i wish you would have made this lineup beacuse this team is headed UP...way up. And it would have been nice to have you aboard. Good luck wiht your new team...you got plenty of game, and will catch on somewhere. Keep an eye on us tho and if we lose a guy, then be ready to come back home.

Yep. He provided several of the few things to cheer about last season and was a genuine guy. All the best.
