Maybe he thought he had some other opportunities that didn't pan out. At least there is familiarity with the offense which should help.

Lions017 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 This is a solid move. Our receiver depth was really lacking once Tate was traded. No one stepped up. Between Amendola and Kearse I think that we should be able to find a good third/fourth receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the younger guys like Fulgham who will already have a lot on their plate coming into the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you something else, the stories I've seen the last week about how Tabor was looking really good and might turn things around... to be honest those stories make me deeply worried about the receiving corps far more than they make me optimistic about Tabor. Another veteran can't hurt imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another veteran can't hurt imo I get it.. but a one year deal isn't worth taking away from our younger guys for me.. kinda like Ellington last yr when we could of really seen what we had in someone else who's on the team... Can't learn on the sidelines Why draft and sign guys if ur never gonna play em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't learn on the sidelines Why draft and sign guys if ur never gonna play em We also are a team that is looking to win now. We've got a young guy going into year 3 in KG, three established guys in Marvin, Danny and Kearse. We'll wind up with 5-6 WR's on the final roster. JK is going to help get all of the receiving group on track with the system. If these younger guys play well enough to deserve it, then they will get their opportunities. JK had a rough year and is looking to bounce back. He's not a lock to make the cut but these younger guys aren't just going to be given the spot either.

We need to sign a wr to teach them the offence wtf... who gives a crap if he knows the offence what's he gonna say that a coach can't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another veteran can't hurt imo Andy Jones has done nothing but own Teez... But this is kinda what I'm talking about.. if slay is there Teez doesn't get this type of experience Now you bring in jk and take away this type of experience from our younger guys for a one year deal and for that price..wtf..this imo is a problem Now every other wr knows there's what one spot available and jk has proved nothing I'd rather gave that cash to snacks...

Superduperman Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I hear you with all that. But I also remember decades and decades of the Lions having young guys getting experience as the #3 or #4 receivers and producing nothing, like NOTHING. Guys like TJ Jones or Corey Fuller or Derrick Williams or Scotty Anderson and on and on into infinity. Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess. I just think that if Kearse makes the team, as the season goes on and guys get hurt, or are no good, like maybe Amendola has nothing left or whatever, it'll be good to have a guy who knows what route to run.

At least those other guys had st value Kearse couldn't get signed and we were his fall back.. which erks me Who's to say he wouldn't be available later.. or a guy like dez Bryant plenty that fit what kearse can do.. Imo he wasn't even the best available iyam. Ya ya he knows some of the offence but if your forth string you got time and we could just use the #8 pick in the draft to help patch things.. Imo we needed more of a speed guy anyway... I'd rather give Andy Jones a shot at half the cost.. shoot kearse is making more than our #1.. As far as I know kearse has not much if any experience in the slot or produced there.. again all for just a one year deal Stupid to argue about but I just don't like taking away from guys that probably be and will want to be here next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are sitting there in the position group room watching film and breaking down the plays, responsibilities, signals, etc. Kearse wasn't brought on to be a coach, otherwise they'd have just hired him as the WR coach. He is here because of the scheme familiarity and he's hoping it will help him career wise (as opposed to his time in NY). Guys are going to be asking him questions and he's going to help to whatever extent doesn't take away from his own play. Kearse has to produce in order to stick around but the team wins when everybody is on the same page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
