Seahawks Trying To Trade Jermaine Kearse

[LinvilleGorge]

What happened to him last season? He had previously been a very efficient WR. His targets were way up last year but his receptions were actually down. He only caught 46% (41/89) of his targets last year  compared to 72% (49/68) in 2015.

46% is approaching Funchess level of sucking. Okay... not quite. Funchess was below 49%.

Funchess had more than twice the production as Kearse at the same point in their respective careers. Look it up.

So Kearse has been in the league for 5 years and has been a solid contributing piece to Seattle's offense and you want to talk about his FIRST TWO YEARS?!?!? LOL.

Their sophomore seasons were basically identical but Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin were kind of in Kearse's way while who was in Funchess' way? Ted Ginn? 

Kearse has proven to be a reliable NFL caliber WR. He'd instantly make us better and plays bigger than Funchess does. To sit and say well we have Funchess, is ridiculous

Funchess > Kearse

Just wait idiots

Funch can't even make it to 500 yards yet Kearse has done it 3 times with one of them over 600.

The point is that Funchess has only been in the league for two years and he's farther along than Kearse was. Why is this so hard to understand? Players need time to develop. Why would you invest a draft pick in a guy and then not give him a chance to develop? That would be stupid.

Again though, I'm not saying to not go after him because of Funchess. I'm saying don't trade Funchess away and don't trade for Kearse so you can bench him. Personally, I can't stand the thought of trading anything away to Seattle  no matter what.

Would rather have Kearse than Funchess tbh.

Its easy to fall in love with Funchess' measurables but Kearse is just one of those guys that knows how to play the position. 

Think back to all of Seattle's big games and Kearse has played a hand in a lot of their wins. He has all the experience and has performed on the biggest stages. 

I am bias as Kearse has always been one of my fav WR's but the guy can play. Only 27 still too.

For how much longer?

Why? Compare his first two years in the league with Funchess first two years in the league. Funchess blows him away. The only reason to make this trade is if there are no signs that Funchess can develop any further, and I don't believe that's the case.

Funchess had more targets in his first two seasons combined (121) than Kearse did his first three seasons combined (114).

I'm not exactly saying that Funchess is a reason not to go after Kearse, but I think it would be foolish to trade player for player before we even give Funchess time to develop like Kearse did. Also, the idea of trading a draft pick to Seattle for ANYBODY makes my stomach turn.

Still doesn't make Funchess the  #2 WR here , Samule & Byrd are moving ahead of him.

Funchess was a rookie in 2015, and in 2016 everybody looked bad, so how we going to judge Funchess

Based on what, exactly? Byrd has one career catch and Samuel has zero and his longest play in the pre season was 7yds.

Well by this logic it's unfair of us to judge Mike Remmers too but I think we all can agree he blows no?

We wouldn't be trading for Kearse in his rookie season, we would be trading for Kearse the player he is now which is the more productive player at this point. The Panthers are in win mode now, if Funchess is ready to take that step great if he is not, we don't have the window to wait until he reaches his peak.

Literally the only thing we can hang on hats in regarding Funchess is his age.

There's no sugar coating that he's been pretty terrible in his two seasons and honestly the only reason he got the opportunities that he did was because our WR corps was so weak. The guy wouldn't see the field on a team wth a decent WR corps. Hell, he wouldn't make the roster.

So? How many of those were actually catchable and uncontested and who decides? If a WR has two steps on a defender but the ball is slightly under thrown and gets tipped, is it the WR's fault?
