Sephiroth Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I know it sounds weird to say since they're both WRs, but its almost an apples-and-oranges comparison. They're both good players who are better when complimented by the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steitzenhaus Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think the front office and ownership is coming out with this so Cruz brings his price down. We do have cap issues so the possibility of only being able to afford one is very real but Id expect both of them to be a priority. We need them both. But if it came down to it I'd probably lean Cruz. He plays every game and I think Randle has a better chance of replacing what Nicks can do than anyone we have or could find for the slot. I do think Nicks is the better talent though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 One thing that needs to be pointed out here is that while Cruz might not have been hurt a lot of the season, IMO he wasn't the same guy after the hit he took in the Pittsburgh game, and frankly I'm surprised that it took that long for him to get clocked. That said, I don't think anyone in their right mind wants to get rid of the kid, I don't. But if the choice is Nicks or Cruz, it's Nicks and I don't even blink.

I've posted this a few times before; Cruz has been avoiding hits for a while now. I think everybody remembers the give up fumble not fumble. I don't blame him when he's being paid UDFA money and a big contract is possibly coming but he's not playing fearless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day we called this the Tony Dorsett Maneuver...where Tony would lay that ball on the ground to keep down the number of hits....or the Franco Harris Option where that guy would run out of bounds on most of his runs to avoid the lumber coming his way...

Tempest Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Definitely Nicks over Cruz and its not even a conversation. I think they should come up with the money to pay both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
