FYI: Would be "shocking" if Giants re-sign Nicks...

[KaseKlosed]

He's too much of a solid player, cant take the risk, you know the rules...

Hey guess what. Can't fix all of our problems through the draft. I know that's something a lot of posters can't understand, but it's true.

 

No sh*t.

 

You go with what is most fitting and the highest on our board on draft day.  Fill the remaining needs prior and post draft according to what makes sense.  

 

So quick to be a dick.

Some of you need to realize Nicks is not the same reciever he was 2 years ago. He rarely gets any seperation any more and that's a huge concern if you're thinking about signing a WR with a history of injuries. He's not getting any faster.

Unless of course him not getting seperation is Eli's fault. Nicks has had 1 maybe 2 good games this year and that came against Philly and Dallas.

Yeah he had good numbers last week but 3 of his 5 catches came in the fourth when the game was out of reach and one on a Hail Mary.

Can someone try and sell me on Nicks? Because I just don't see how signing him would benefit this team. We already have Stewart eating a ton of money doing nothing, Nicks will most likely miss a few games every year during his career.

And "he's better than what we got" is not a valid point. That's like giving a homeless man dog poo to eat because he's got nothing. Doesn't make that dog poo look any better.

Our WR's are our DT's of last year, the best way to upgrade this position is through the draft. The FA list of WR's isn't worth spending any kind of actual money on. To beat team like Seattle and New Orleans we need playmakers. Draft 2 WR's or 1 WR and 1 athletic TE next year and keep Ginn and move Smitty to the slot.

Keep in mind, money is really tight this off season.

I like Nicks but only if he comes cheap..If he is anywhere close to asking for Greg Jennings money or Mike Wallace then he is an easy pass.

However this offense needs physical, big WRs that Cam can see easier and we possibly can see Cam complete a fade route in the end zone for once.

[Anybodyhome]

Victor Cruz completely outperforming Nicks and Reuben Randle isn't far behind...

 

I'm still trying to figure out the Hixon deal.....

[Davidson Deac II]

I would rather see us strengthen the secondary or oline through free agency and draft a WR with our first pick.  I am not sure Nicks gives us number one, which is what we need.

[PhillyB]

this is a case where gettleman is the best possible GM to have... he's supposedly a free agent guru AND he'll know what hicks can do better than probably anyone in the NFL.

 

if we don't get him it'll be for damn good reason, and if we do i'll be excited as hell because it probably means he's everything we hope he could be.

[Evengelion]

If we got Nicks and pair him with a 1st round WR we could be set for a long time. I think an eltie WR corp can make up for our deficiency in secondary play. Our D can get stops, we just can't rely on them to do it down after. If Seattle with a legit D have a good offense to complement it.

Zero TD's. Zero.

As in not even one.

Whatever your argument is, I reply "Zero."

That's not what you said.

you mad?

If he's better than what we got and comes cheap, how is that not a valid point?

Again, Nicks' down year is what LaFell does on average. Even a little better.

We're not going to be able to sign all-stars at all of our weaknesses

I don't really want Nicks, but I am not sure if that really means anything.  Steve Smith had two td's in 2010, and got them in the last two games of the season.   While the Giants offense isn't as bad as us in 2010, its pretty bad and I have no doubt he can do better next year.

I mean there should be no argument Nicks is superior to lafell, it's just that the cost is probably vastly different between the two, so...
