I have no clue what brings me to my opinion.
Maybe you can do a breakdown of every catch he has made since there are only 12 of them. Including that garbage time TD yesterday against the back ups.

This means absolutely nothing at this point in their careers. absolutely nothing. there are a million different factors involved.

When he gets to 20 catches on the season we can start to talk about him. Or were you impressed with the garbage time TD from David Carr against the Special teams players yesterday?

Yeah, cause that was the only td catch he's had all season. Other than that, he's done nothing. He's only fifth in receiving yardage, first in receiving yards per game (remember, he missed two games), third in yards per catch (his 19.6 is behind a guy that has one catch for 23 yards and the second place guy is 19.7), and he's tied for the most touchdowns. If we can't talk about him in the convesation of best rookies, we can't talk about anyone.

He has 12 catches in 6 games. Mike Vrabel catches TD passes too.

He missed two games. He has 12 in four games. Only one less than Maclin has in five. And he has more touchdowns than Maclin. What does Vrabel have to do with this? We are talking about rookie wide receivers. You are the one that asked what do I base it on. What would make you say that he's not better than Maclin? You have brought up his garbage touchdown. Ok, take that away and he's still got as many as Maclin in less games. He's also got more yards. You act like I'm comparing him to Randy Moss or Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald. What part of rookie wide receivers was lost on you?

What does Vrabel have to do with this? He has a lot of TD catches. That is proof that TD catches arent the greatest way to measure a receiver.

We are talking about 4 games worth of action, mostly against dreadful pass defenses. How can you say that Nicks is better than anyone based on 4 games, all blowouts? Not to mention it isnt as though he has had a 11 catch, 180 yard game to point to. Also it is kind of tough to measure Crabtree so far isnt it?
And why is he better than Percy Harvin?
