Gettleman Made Nicks an Offer, But Nicks Says, "It Wasn't The Right Situation."

Maybe we offered less?

 

Nicks is far from a guarantee this season considering his past. Injury prone and poor attitude. Funny how no one threw elite money at him.

 

 

I agree. 

 

Probably smart for him to not sign here.  He has bigger chance of a higher contract next year just by being average in Indy.

No need to bash Nicks. Luck and Indys Offense offer a better opportunity in the passing game. Unlike the majority of this thread, that's not conjecture, that's a fact. The running backs/OL on the Panthers like Shula's system and the wide receivers don't. Our 3 yards and a cloud of dust offense will absolutely impact signing WRs unless we are willing to overpay.

I think this is exactly the way the conversation went, honestly. Gettleman said something to the sound of "I'll give you your money, but we're not looking to win this season". Nicks: "Then why would I want to be there? I want to try and go to a winning team." Gman: "Then we agree this isn't the best fit for you."

how stupid can you be.

If anything I think our lack of a traditional running game prevented our wr's from being more successful, especially in the redzone. Also when playaction is predictable.  Dwill was horrible last year.  He had a few nice runs off of screen passes when he didn't fumble the ball.  I think Mike Shula is catching a lot of criticism because of over paid under performing rbs.  Whenever we could run the ball....we put up a lot of points.

 

I'm not saying Shula is great......he's just not as bad as he's made out.

 

Besides our fan base has a history of pooing on the OC.  I can't remember an OC that fans actually like here.  Even in our SB year people hated Henning.

God people calm the **** down

Dg made an offer he knew nick would not want, but it was obviously the best he was willing to do for nick's services. Either cap related or he felt nicks talent level was not on line with what the colts and others were willing to throw at him

The end. No conspiracy no double meanings.

“After talking to Gettleman I think he agreed that this was the best situation for me too even though they made the offer,” Nicks said. “Like I said I feel like I made the best decision and I’m ready to make the best of it.”

Maybe they both agreed that Hicks talents tended more toward being a supremely dangerous 2nd (or even 3rd) threat in a passing game moreso than a primary threat? And his best chance at getting a long-term deal with significant money was to put himself into a situation like that rather than potentially failing as a #1 WR?

Nicks wants 1 year deal to earn more next offseason. Gettleman wanted to sign him to a multi-year deal at a lower rate than he will be worth after this next season.

THIS!!! Thank you!

I'm going to be laughing at all the teams that are cap strapped in a couple of years b/c of these crazy contracts *looking at you Saints*

 

DG knows a hell of alot more about football then we do. Stop bitching and let the man work. In 1 year he turned a team into a 12-4 record with good FA pickups and draft. Rome was not built in a day. CALM DOWN!

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
