Everyone keeps saying we missed Tate. Tate had 142 targets and 99 catches this year. 1.4 catches per target. Baldwin had 98 targets and 66 catches, 1.4 per. Kearse had fewer targets but his number was 1.7 per target.

Where did you get this information? The fact that our receivers are catching more than one ball per target is phenomenal, defies possibility really. Perhaps they're catching all of Luke Willson's targets for him.
I assume you meant 1.4 targets per catch? So Doug is catching about 70% of his passes whilst Kearse is comfortably under 60%.
Losing P-Rich might have cost us a comfortable Super Bowl victory, but it may also have cost us $2.5m against the cap by tendering Kearse.
I love the big plays Jermaine's given us, but it feels like every good thing he does comes at the expense of two mistakes. In the NFCCG we had the two interceptions and the winning TD. In the Super Bowl we had the amazing juggling catch that redeemed his costly drop down the sideline, only for him to then whiff his block on the interception at the end.
He had some brutal drops through the regular season too, including the close loss to KC.
As to Baldwin, people do stupid stuff in the heat of the moment, and he's as passionate as anyone on this team. First time he's done something like that on the field though isn't it? I don't expect it will happen again. The act is wearing thin though, should probably take a leaf out of his best friend's book.
