Guess what coveted WR by some Huddlers didn't have a TD catch in 2013

Charlotte's own, Hakeem Nicks.

 

Hometown boy. Tie to G-man. Unless he's giving a serious discount, I will pass.  The risk is too much in my estimation. I don't want to give much needed dollars to a guy who has suspect sticks. Seriously, at this point I don't even know if he is better than what we have on the roster right now. He seems to have lost a step and is unable to get separation.  His big frame and ability to out-muscle smaller DBs for targets is the only enticement that I see in regards to Nicks, and that's not enough in my estimation to prolifically upgrade our WR corps.  I'd rather take my chances with fresh legs.

I see Nicks signing a one year contract with someone.

If Nicks goes for a long term contract that tells me he doesn't have faith in his skills and wants the security. If he thinks he still has it, he'll be happy to sign a one year somewhere and earn his big pay day the year after next.

If he wants to come here and play with a chip on his shoulder for a year like some of these other guys, than it may work. Ideally we draft a receiver or two in the draft and roll with those 2, Ginn and Smitty.

Good, im glad he didnt. Makes it more likely we can afford him and get him on the cheap now. Eli has been horrible and thats a compliment, 25 picks. He was so bad this year he deserves a pro bowl spot because it takes some very rare skill to be as horrible as he has been this year. Eli Manning this year was like The Expendables movie, so bad its good.

Nicks is going to be your classic case of a very good WR brought down by a terrible team who needs a change of venue. He will be at pro bowl level with a different team, watch.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
