Gman Agreed COLTS Were Right Fit For Nicks

Recommended Posts

Although Nicks drew plenty of interest from his hometown Panthers, he told The Charlotte Observer that Carolina general manager Dave Gettleman agreed that Indianapolis offered a better situation for the wide receiver. - Chris Wissenling

"Yeah they made an offer when I talked to Dave Gettleman," Nicks said. "But you know it just didn't pan out the right way. I feel like this is the best fit for me.

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

As said in other thread, he just didn't want the pressure of being the #1 in his hometown. Simple.

i just understand how this common sense analysis is so hard for eveyone to grasp! I knew immediately after Smith was cut he wasn't coming here. Been trying to explain this but ppl continue but they want to think it was about $$ even though we offered him more.

He picked the lesser QB.

Cam would have made Nicks a star. Who doesn't want to be the #1 WR of your hometown team. That's every kids dream.

too much pressure! You could look at it from that standpoint but I think he was thinking more "I have to live up to the standards the man I grew up admiring & what if I fail?". "Nah ill just go play behind 3 others in Indy. Much easier & their team isn't currently falling apart"

Nicks probably did want to play for Carolina.  We made him an offer, Indy made a better offer.  Nicks calls Gettleman back, tells him what Indy is offering hoping we will sweeten the pot for him, Gettleman tells him "yea thats probably a better fit".

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
