FYI: Would be "shocking" if Giants re-sign Nicks...

If he's better than what we got and comes cheap, how is that not a valid point?

Again, Nicks' down year is what LaFell does on average. Even a little better.

Just because he's better than what we got, doesn't make him good.

If we address the WR position in next years draft like we should, we won't be saying "he's better than what we got". I hope they don't sign him with that being the only reason, because after the draft (if drafting properly) he won't be better than what we got.

At 25 (or however old Nicks is) he already appears to be on the decline IMO. Just not a good idea to sign him.

Zero TD's. Zero.

As in not even one.

Whatever your argument is, I reply "Zero."

 

DD stole my response. you can't necessarily judge a receiver by a single bad season still in progress (not all the time anyway.) he's on pace for 971 yards this season... a big play more and he's over a thousand.

 

i'm not sold either but let's not pretend he's just shitting the bed completely

Something to keep an eye on...

Giants have to give a new contract to Eli. They also have to sign Tuck. Nicks is coming off a down year. There's a real good chance he could come here with a not so big contract. Hope it works out.

 

Nicks' best chance of getting a free-agent deal from the Giants is if the team chalks this year up to a larger mess and decides it's worth taking a long-term chance on him at a relatively reasonable cost.

But even in that case, Nicks would have to be willing to sign for reasonable money. If he's after top-dollar, and there's a team like the Panthers willing to pay for his talent and pre-2013 track record, he's likely going elsewhere.

    • 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.
