exactly he might not even be the best wr on his team. Cruz is better to me.

But this is EA we are talking about.

This whole notion that Cruz is better hen Nicks is ridiculous. Almost every single Giants fan would laugh at you.

No I am talking about 4 of the most important games of any NFL season. You go to you best players in the play-offs. You are only dismissing it because it shows that when the Giants went to Nicks when it mattered most. But continue to ignore any and all facts that don't support your Cruz is better than Nicks notion. Just like anyone else you are more than entitled to your opinion.

I've watched enough coaches film to see that teams were clearly rolling coverage over to Nicks' side of the field opening things up for Manningham and Cruz.

Well, there's not a playoff rating. But overall Cruz did pass Nicks on just about every aspect of receiver role. Cruz made plays in double coverage. Not a biggie though, as long as the specific ratings are somewhat accurate. Their both great receivers and I refuse to go on any further about a senseless ratings battle, I'm not about to turn into that guy...I hate these types of debates on here so carry on...

Why does everyone always act like nicks is meat? He was the best receiver on the team the past two years, Cruz had a great year last year cause no doubled him for the first 8 weeks of the season... As for the list I would put Gronk behind Andre Larry an Charles

[dramachild11]

Just follow up, I'm a giants fan so I don't really care about the argument for who's better cause I'm glad there both on the team I root for but nicks needs to start getting a lil bit more respect imo

Tight ends look fine, I would either bump Graham up an OVR, or bump Vernon down one OVR, I don't think they are equal.

You are telling me that the only reason that he out runs defenders and runs 99 yards to tie the longest touchdown reception in nfl history is because of tom brady. That is completley a joke that you even said that and the guy that was the reason for the 99 yard TD got cut the next week. You tell me when a system reciever can embarrass someone like that. He has great speed and great hands. Sure he dropped that wide open pass in the super bowl but that was also a bad throw for a simple pass from tom brady. He aslo produces unbelievable yards after catch stats that no other reciever right now produces. Calvin johnson might be good but wes welker has had the most recieving yards since 2007 than any other wide reciever. You can't say a wide reciever is only good because of their quarterback that is just a load of crap.

Welker averages about 11 yards per reception in New England. Where are all those run after catch yards exactly. He takes a 5 yard route and gets 6 more yards?
