Gman Agreed COLTS Were Right Fit For Nicks

[lola]

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

Exactly. I wouldn't want him if he can't take the heat. Grow a pair then we can talk.

He didn't take less to go to Indy. It's 3.5 mil with incentives that could bring it up to 6 mil. He clearly wants to pad his stats to get a massive contract next offseason.

not sure how true that is after he specifically stated he wanted a long term deal in the same interview where he talked about catching passes from Cam. But hey maybe dude was just indecisive in that

You'd get the poo slapped out of you if you ever said that poo around me. Thats my quarterback

Sounds like a great way to get shot.

So was Gettleman admitting that Nicks would have a better shot at a decent season if he went to Indy? He definitely would have drawn the majority of double teams playing in Carolina, and we do emphasize our run game more than Indy.

[Gin and Juice]

Gonna say what the masses want to hear:

Gettleman is here to destroy our team and undo the hard work of the greatest GM this Franchise has ever known

[beastson]

I'm lost as to why Gettleman would say that. Just offer what you think and he'll either accept or reject. SMH

[Panthers111]

Nicks did say he wanted to play with Luck Cam Rivers. Probably in that order too. Indys offense is high scoring which bodes well for Nicks

Dave Gettleman is the only GM I've ever hear of (in any sport) that is a 95% straight shooter. I have a great deal of respect for that. If Nicks really is a better fit there, then how can you bash him? Just because G-Man isn't a complete shill that would force a guy in here that wasn't going to be happy in 6 months anyway? If the dude doesn't fit, then he doesn't fit. Not everyone can magically fit in anywhere. Nick's is not "the future" of anything except for allowing local doctors to purchase a $500,000 summer home with all the medical bills he racks up. Absolutely no problem with G-Man on this one.

Sounds like a great way to get shot.

I think Gman told him that heis going to go heavy on wr's in the draft and he would have to fight for a #1 spot

[CatMan72]

Sounds like a tactful way for DG to tell Nicks they weren't interested in matching what the Colts were offering.

If you were going to sign a one year deal in hopes of landing a long term deal in '15, which situation would you think would be better for you?

 

A)  15th ranked offense, great QB, additional support at the WR position, weak conference and a chance be an integral part of a playoff team. 

 

2)  26th ranked offense, 29th ranked passing attack, great QB, no current WR support, team is in cap trouble, having to replace the team's best WR in history

 

One is obviously a better situation than the other.  I still believe we make a play at Nicks in 2015 if he does indeed prove himself in Indy.

Exactly. Whoever comes here is going to need some balls. High risk high reward
