His rating is one where I miss the HC rating system. But that's just me. Calvin Johnson is probably the only rating I've seen thus far that I have no issue with.

He was actually pretty good in Miami.

Its the same reason Steve Smith former Giant was able to become a Pro Bowler playing opposite Nicks. All I'm saying is don't let stats fool you.

Never mind you not coming on here a lot, you sound like you do not watch football a lot. Cruz is better than Nicks.

I'm interested in seeing where Greg Jennins and Marques Colston are rated

[RateSports]

A.J. Green, Dwayne Bowe, Julio Jones, Marques Colston & Vincent Jackson are all easily better than Hakeem Nicks.

Debateable ones are Desean Jackson, Mike Wallace, Pierre Garcon.

I'm as big a GIants fans as you will find, breaking down film and seeing every play from preseason onward.

Nicks is better than Cruz, though it's an embarrassment of riches either way.

What makes Cruz look better is he is more flashy - he's got that salsa style. Cruz is smooth and can do everything you want from a WR on the football field: make big plays, run every route, block, run after the catch, you name it.

In the playoffs, teams focused on neutralizing Cruz and Nicks made them remember why they used to focus on him first. He had 28 receptions for 444 yards and 4 TD's.

Cruz may pass by Nicks at some point, but Nicks is still the #1 on the Giants.

Oh man! They really should rebuild their ratings!

I watch the Giants religiously, and I can tell you without a doubt that Hakeem Nicks is better than Victor Cruz. Nicks can literally do it all, and he does it superbly. Not only did he draw the best coverage, but the other team would always put their safety over the top of him--yet with double coverage all the time, he still put up nearly 1200 yards and 7 TDs.

If I had sorted the WRs:

Calvin Johnson
Larry Fitzgerald
Andre Johnson
Rob Gronkowski
Jimmy Graham
Roddy White
Hakeem Nicks
Wes Welker
Steve Smith

Vernon Davis shouldn't even be in the equation...Steve Smith had a revival year simply because Newton threw bombs downfield. He and Welker are one-dimensional players and, as such, can't compare to the other WRs on the list. I don't really like putting the TEs in there, because it bumps Roddy down really low and he's a bonafide elite receiver.
