Boy, we sure blew it passing on Hakeem Nicks, huh?

He's a free agent this year, maybe he'll come thus year with benjamin and brown already in place

Wow, didn't really watch the Colts games, but a pretty subpar season for Nicks with Luck throwing it around in a pass-happy offense. A lot of folks were drooling over signing him last year.

Well he did put up those numbers as the #4/5 while Cotch only got that much as the #2. I think Nicks could've helped us win games this year, but Cotch was a more important signing for developing young guys for the future.

I'm sure he played less than cotchery

 

Colts had a fair number of injuries at receiver though, and yet even with that he didn't earn more playing time.

 

Not saying they were equivalent, mind you, but prior to the season people were on here screaming as if passing on Nicks was going to be the biggest mistake this franchise ever made, Gettleman had lost it, blah blah blah.  And the reality is his season wasn't anything all that special.

Lol those stats are totally out of context.

Want to list the # of snaps for each? How bout the stats for the recievers ahead of each of them? Cotchery only had Benjamin and Olsen ahead of him.

Nicks had Tilton, Wayne, Moncrief, Allen, Fleener... Lol.

 

Donte Moncrief is a rookie picked in the third round, Dwayne Allen is a second string tight end and Reggie Wayne is 36 years old and has lost a step.

 

You're gonna blame those guys for Hakeem Nicks not having better stats?

 

But if we'd have signed him, he'd have set the League on fire, right?

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
