I hope G-man leaves Nicks alone


top dawg

Recommended Posts

I have been waiting for Nicks to show that he is a worthy big money receiver all season, but he hasn't. I have read commentary talking about his lack of ability to get separation anymore, and of course his drops. I wanted to give him the benefit of plenty of doubt, but after seeing the first nine games of the season---an adequate sample during a year where a lloming new contract should be providing plenty of motivation---I am highly skeptical that he can ever be a consistent impact WR, much less our WR1.  His play is not worth the money that will need to be paid, or the sacrifices that will have to be made in order to acquire his services.

Our receiving corp needs a lot of help - we would need to spend a large sum of money to a proven consistent big time receiver in FA to solve our problems (dropsies).

It'd just be easier and a safer bet to find a kid in the draft. Besides GM has done well from the draft thus far.

Free agent receivers make me nervous. They have a tendency to not live up to the hype when they get to their second team.

Much rather look at OL in free agency and use a high draft pick on a receiver.

Actually I'd like for us to double dip like we did on DT. I believe that we could possibly even get a playmaker in the third if G-man lives up to his expectations.  But I want two in the first two, or two out of three. 

 

I can't say that all these kids would necessarily be coming out, but I kinda like Jalen Strong of Arizona State, Brandon Coleman of Rutgers and Jordan Matthews of Vanderbilt.

I'm OK with bringing him in to be a #2 on a cheapish/reasonable contract. He'd be an upgrade over LaFell but I don't consider him a #1 WR.

 

I don't think anyone will be running to pay him big bucks TBH but you never know, some teams go full retard when it comes to FA.

 

 

Move up in draft by giving up our 1st & 2nd for Watkins or Evans. No I'm not kidding. Also if Ebron falls to us at 32 then snag him. :)

 

I'm thinking trade a 1st and 3rd to move up and get Watkins (if that opportunity exists at least) and get an OT in the 2nd. Sign a legit #2 TE in free agency. Re-sign Ginn and Wharton, get Silatolu back at guard. Should be good to go.

    • Jeremy Fowler draft intel on the Panthers: “Carolina was high on Proctor. If he somehow slipped to 19, he was a viable option.” “Caleb Lomu was on the Panthers short list too.” “Panthers weren’t totally comfortable with Stowers there at 49.”   https://x.com/panthersontap/status/2049827264972353727?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
    • No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.    
    • It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
