I think the knee was the real culprit this season. Before the knee issue arose, Nicks completely dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We didn't learn about the knee until after that game, when he had the surprising missed game vs the Panthers on Thursday, and then again vs. the Eagles.
Don't forget though that he had that almost fully healed foot stepped on towards the end of the Tampa game too. Major setbacks for him after just killing Tampa.
....and i thought this place was nutty during the season.

I think Cruz is obviously a great player. But once nicks slowed down so did cruz's production. If he dominent he would have had 2000 yards this season. Instead he got pretty much taken away down the stretch.

As dominant a performance if I've seen one. Granted, terrible secondary, but Nicks is a difference maker and absolute nightmare for defenses when he is healthy.

Can you name the receivers who've had 2,000 yard seasons?
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!
