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.

    • Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .  
    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
