Gman Agreed COLTS Were Right Fit For Nicks

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".

      Canales is holding us back

      I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
