Nicks to Panthers revisited

With as little of a contribution that Hakeem Nicks is making with the Colts, I've got to think that it has to be going through his mind that this one-year prove-it deal up in Indy isn't working quite like "the right situation" that he envisioned. 

 

For Nicks' part, he recently said, "I still view myself as the best receiver in the league."  

 

Surely he doesn't believe that he'll get paid $4mil next year with his current production, no matter how he's talking.  It just makes me wonder what really went on with his visit down here.  I've been able to catch a couple of Colts games this year, and it's not like Nicks is looking bad, but he still is fourth on the totem pole for targets from Luck (my, what a luxury).  

 

Well, it's not like either he or G-man (who did offer a contract), shut the door on a Nicks return to Charlotte, and Nicks' production should warrant some type of modest number.  Do you think either side will take another look?  And do you believe that he could help this offense playing opposite of KB?

 

Of course Nicks may just decide to go to the highest bidder (which may just be Indy if he helps them to the dance).

Nicks made a judgement call and it didn't workout for him yet..... he figured he would play with luck and put up good numbers then land a big contract well, he never figured that he would end up being the 4th or 5th option. But he didn't want to be the number 1 when smitty was cut he felt the pressure would have been all on him. He never accounted for us drafting help like KB......he played himself.....

Nick's situation is strange. He would probably have been our #1 WR but he's only #4 for the Colts. My question would be, is Nicks highly overrated, or does the Colts have so many weapons he has to take a back seat?

Both ..... He doesn't like hard work.... he always plays the odds never tries to make his own way......

      AI Analysis on ideal round to draft certain positions.

      By strato · Posted

      Too much to ask picking in the middle of the third round. Unless you are historically lucky. Hell you need luck in the 1st to get that.    The devaluation of the position is hard for me to understand when I look at the difference great MLBs have made to defenses over the years.  Defense needs a good QB too. MLB is the QB of the defense.

      Deep Ball in Cyclical Decline

      By NAS · Posted

      Across the league.  5 straight years of decline. Deep pass attempts have fallen to just 7.7 per game in 2024, down from that 2019 peak. Air yards per attempt are at 7.7 yards this year—the lowest in over a decade. Overall passing yards per game have tanked too, from 496 in 2020’s early weeks to a  403 in 2024.    This trend is a result of defenses playing with two-high safety schemes designed to prevent deep passes, forcing offenses to seek yards after the catch on shorter throws.  Two-high safety calls are everywhere now—up from 44% of dropbacks in 2019 to 63% in 2024—forcing QBs to take shorter throws instead of risking picks on bombs. Add in more presnap disguises, faster pass rushes (QB pressure up to 30.1% of dropbacks), and lighter, quicker D-linemen, and it’s a nightmare for deep shots.    Offenses have adapted with emphasizing power run games to counter deep coverage and fast but leaner pass rushers.  Rushing attempts per game are up to 27.9 per game average with top teams significantly in the 30+ attempts.  QBs are emphasizing more short and intermediate throws so that the few deep passes they attempt have a higher completion percentage overall than in years past.    So to everyone who is frustrated with lack of deep passing, it’s all cyclical and right now emphasis on the run and taking more calculated shots is the way to go.
