Nicks has potential to be more of a beast than Plaxico but Nicks has dropped a lot of passes that he should have caught in his 1st 2 seasons and has been out with sporadic injuries (he missed 3 games last year do to various injuries).
Also Nicks is 4 inches shorter than Plaxico. Manning's money play was always throwing a jump ball to Plaxico in one on one situations knowing that the taller Plaxico would either come down with the ball or draw a pass interference penaly. He used to do this all the time in goaline situations. I think the loss of Plaxico has been part of the Giants problem in the redzone over the last couple of years.
