Sucks is a harsh word....at least prior to this year. He is REALLY bad this year.
He sucks this year for sure. He's been awful. And for whatever reason there is a lack of effort on his part in games where he won't fight for the ball, or on his pick plays where he just stops.
In years past, I always felt like he would be completely irrelevant for most all of the game and was just a body. BUT he always came through at the end of games with clutch catches and TDs, so that made up for the rest of the games when he didn't do shit. Now that's gone. And as I type this i can think of four crucial red zone passes to him that he couldn't get, for whatever reason.
I think Locket officially has the #2 spot since last week, so all those play designs we'll see Lockett in lined up where Kearse was and I'm betting the next two games and playoffs, Lockett will be huge. I don't really care who is #3, McEvoy looked pretty decent last game so maybe he's better than Kearse at this point but I'm fine with Kearse splitting the reps with him or whatever.
I like Kearse he's a good dude, obviously WA native so I want him to succeed but the drop off from last year to this year has been dramatic to say the least. He may have burned out completely or maybe needs a change of pace elsewhere, but I think his career is close to being done tbh. I don't recall ever seeing a WR look as bad as he does now. It's weird seeing a professional athlete fall off like that (Shawn Alexander comes to mind after he got his contract and hit age 30 lol).
